ABOUT US

The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) is an astronomical survey designed to probe
the formation and evolution of galaxies as a function of both cosmic time
(redshift) and the local galaxy environment. The survey covers a 2 square degree
equatorial field with spectroscopy and X-ray to radio imaging by most of the
major space-based telescopes and a number of large ground based telescopes. Over
2 million galaxies are detected, spanning 75% of the age of the Universe. COSMOS
is led by Caitlin Casey, Jeyhan Kartaltepe, and Vernesa Smolcic and involves
more than 200 scientists in a dozen countries. More information on the COSMOS
team members can be found here.

SPOTLIGHT


NICK SCOVILLE ELECTED TO NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES

May 9, 2022


Nick Scoville, the Francis L. Moseley Professor of Astronomy at Caltech
(Emeritus), was recently elected to the National Academy of Sciences in
recognition of his distinguished and continuing achievements in original
research! Nick is the PI of the original COSMOS HST/ACS observations.
Congratulations!

NEW COSMOS CATALOG IS OUT!

December 20, 2021


The new COSMOS catalog is out and its accompanying paper is accepted!

The catalog contains 1 million sources measured in more than 30 photometric
bands from the UV to the infrared. For the extraction of the photometry, our
international team applied a new prior-based method to go even deeper and to
obtain more robust measurements for blended sources. The catalog also contains
photometric redshifts and other physical properties of the galaxies measured
from their photometry using spectral energy distribition (SED) fitting codes
like LePhare and Eazy.

This catalog is a major milestone for COSMOS, combining its multi-wavelength
data consistently, and opening up new avenues to explore galaxy evolution.

You can download the catalog at https://cosmos2020.calet.org to use it for your
own science!

EXTENDED RADIO AGN AND HOW THEY BEND IT

October 8, 2021


A team of COSMOS researchers studied jets escaping active galactic nuclei (AGN)
to investigate what causes their bending. For this, they used radio data from
the VLA and X-ray observations from Chandra/XMM-Newton to measure the "bent
angle", i.e., the angle the jets form to each other in a two-sided source. The
angle is related to the environment in which the AGN hosts reside and compared
to magnetohydrodynamic simulations. It is found that the evolution of the
environment surrounding the sources affects their radio structures and allows
for more space for jet interactions.

COSMOS-WEBB SELECTED AS JWST’S LARGEST CYCLE 1 PROGRAM

April 19, 2021


When the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)—the long-awaited successor to the
Hubble Space Telescope—becomes operational in 2022, one of its first orders of
business will be mapping the earliest structures of the universe. A team of
nearly 50 researchers led by scientists at Rochester Institute of Technology and
University of Texas at Austin will attempt to do so through the COSMOS-Webb
program, the largest General Observer program selected for JWST’s first year.

Over the course of 208.6 observing hours, the COSMOS-Webb program will conduct
an ambitious survey of half a million galaxies with multi-band, high-resolution
near infrared imaging and an unprecedented 32,000 galaxies in mid infrared. The
scientists involved said that because COSMOS-Webb is a treasury program, they
will rapidly release data to the public so it can lead to countless other
studies by other researchers.

three full moons—using JWST’s Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument while
simultaneously mapping a smaller 0.2 square degrees with the Mid Infrared
Instrument (MIRI). Credit: J. Kartaltepe/RIT; C. Casey/UT Austin; A.
