DAWN vol. II
We are thrilled to share with you that the DNRF will extend the funding for our center until 2028.
This has been a very demanding but also rewarding process that was successful thanks to your amazing work and the team work spirit of DAWN.
We are all looking forward to a minimum of five more years of discoveries, creativity, and fun.

Congratulations to the whole DAWN family,
Sune, Thomas, Georgios and Guarn
Eurocard/Mastercard
Do you have a KU Eurocard/Mastercard?
There has been a tendency for transactions to not always be settled within the first two weeks after returning home. Therefor UCPH has had to tighten up the rules!
Meet Clara Giménez Arteaga - new member of the 1st Author Pub-Club!
I’m a last year PhD at DAWN, working mainly with Gabe Brammer on low and high redshift galaxies with HST and JWST.
I became interested in the topic of publication because the images from the Hubble Space Telescope were mesmerising, and thought my grandma would like them. After finishing that project, I’ve been extending the spatially resolved methodology to high redshift galaxies using JWST observations. 
A fun fact about me is that I play the trumpet. I'm also a part of the KU-soccer team.
I think this first work shows the importance of observing NIR emission lines such as the Paschen recombination lines, which can “see” deeper into the dust than broadly used lines such as H-alpha and H-beta. Paschen lines can reveal star formation that is otherwise obscured in optical tracers. On top of that, by performing a spatially resolved analysis, we might be measuring things differently than the standard integrated approach.

Danish Traditions & Culture
Gækkebreve
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What are Gækkebreve?
‘Gække’, translated to English, is a combination of ‘teasing’ and to ‘guess’. Creating and sending these “snowdrop letters” is a unique Danish tradition. In the weeks before Easter, children cut out elaborate shapes on paper, then write a “teaser poem.” The letter is anonymous but signed with a number of dots corresponding to the number of letters in the sender’s name. If the recipient can guess who the gækkebreve is from, the sender owes the recipient an egg. If he/she cannot, they owe the sender an (chocolate)-egg. The letter is often accompanied by a vintergække (snowdrop flowers), which is considered the first flower of the year. Watch and be inspired by this short YouTube tutorial.
Cherry Blossom Trees and Sakura in April in Copenhagen
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In locations around Copenhagen there are many of the beautiful pink and white Cherry Blossoms Trees planted and they usually blossom in April. The trees are beautiful and they only blossom for a short time once a year.
A must see!
There are traditional and open spots at e.g. Kastellet, Langelinie at Østerbro to view the trees.
Find more about locations here and read more about Copenhagen Sakura Festival here.
