jwst-sources Repository

At https://github.com/dawn-cph/jwst-sources we have started collating a list of individual JWST sources described in the literature to facilitate more efficient cross-matching and citation of relevant works.

For example, say you’re looking through the CEERS mosaic and find a source at (RA, Dec.) = (214.91455, 52.943023) that looks like it could be at z = 16. Has anybody else seen (and published) that source before?

>>> import numpy as np

>>> from astropy.table import Table

>>> url = 'https://jwst-sources.herokuapp.com/match?coords={0}%20{1}&sep=2&output=csv'

>>> ra, dec = 214.91455, 52.943023

>>> jw = Table.read(url.format(ra, dec), format='csv')

>>> so = np.argsort(jw['arxiv'])

>>> jw['arxiv','author','ra','dec','dr','zphot','zspec'][so].to_pandas()
        arxiv              author         ra       dec    dr  zphot  zspec

Yes!

The repository is currently an incomplete list of all of the exciting sources that have already been discovered in the first year of JWST observations. Please add your own reference(s) via a Pull Request on the jwst-sources repository today!
