A while ago, I made a plot about satellite internet affordability and need. Turns out it's now a paper, thanks to my amazing co-authors @merrdiff, @heidi_teaman, @RocketToLulu, @mike_peel and @yggrnge! iopscience.iop.org/article/1…

OG of active small bodies strikes again! Nice characterization of a recent outburst by #29P. This #Centaur is the #ChimeraMission target, and the main rep for the "Gateway" region, funneling comets to the inner SS, as shown in Sarid et al. 2019, iopscience.iop.org/article/1…

The UAT (@UATconcepts) was adopted by AAS in June 2019, and we have some early usage stats. The next update cycle is just about to kick into gear, so submit your new concepts soon! 🔭💫📚 #astronomy

I'd call this an astrometric confermation of #ProximaC! Using #HST FGS astrometry and #GaiaDR2 ref ⭐s.

We cannot explicitly encourage the submission of short works, but if a submission passes our checks of being a research article, it will proceed through the moderation process. Read more blogs.cornell.edu/arxiv/2019…

Astronomers at #aas234! Turns out we'll have @ElysianBrewing space dust to give away during the evening poster session. Whether you like free beer orbit, do stop by and talk about software publishing and @AAS_ResNotes.
The first n astronomers at #AAS234 who swing by the @AAS_Publishing booth during Wednesday's poster session to talk to me about software publishing or @AAS_ResNotes get a free drink. #AAS234 (n depends on @EthanVishniac's largess)
Check out this new RNAAS by @TheChedgehog+ (including me), which presents the first transiting exoplanet candidate in the K2 campaign 9 data set!

Thank you to all of those - authors and the broader astronomical community - who offered support this week, and to @steinly0 and @arxiv for the invaluable service they provide. Anyone who wishes to discuss these issues can contact editor @chrislintott (5/5)

Editor @chrislintott hates email. But loves #RNAAS. If you want him to email you once a week about #RNAAS he’ll grit his teeth and do so if you sign up here: tinyurl.com/RNAASmailing

Great to publish our second #RNAAS in a matter of weeks with student work from @ljmu_astro! Keep them coming!

Suggested to a colleague down the hall that their null result would be a great fit for @AAS_ResNotes. Their #RNAAS note was just accepted. Yay!

Just had my first @AAS_ResNotes author come to the @IOPPublishing stand at #iau2018 to collect their notebook. Any other authors out there in Vienna?
