Proud to finally present this banger! We found synchrotron radiation from two extreme, near-Sun shocks! With @NASA's PSP, we directly measured the relativistic electrons and shock conditions under which such radiation is generated.

If we suppress all discussion, all criticism, proclaiming "This is the answer, my friends; man is saved!" we will doom humanity for a long time to the chains of authority, confined to the limits of our present imagination. It has been done so many times before.

In Beyond Words: How Animals Think and Feel [well researched and cited—highly recommend] ecologist Carlo Safina speculates that the lack of orca and wolf attacks on humans are bc they recognize us as social and vengeful creatures like them, whose relatives would seek revenge
In our new paper, we propose a new "time-of-flight" instability which addresses the limitations of beam-plasma interactions in homogeneous plasma which plagued the Ginzburg-Zheleznyakov model.

Also, it has the best looking type III spectrogram ever.

Large-scale disturbances (aka, coronal waves) during the filament eruption (and X1.1 flare) reported earlier. I know this kind of video is favored by some people, although its scientific value is TBD. This video at least tells us the disturbances were limited to the limb area.

Check our latest research using both #NASA and #ESA space missions on "Multimission Observations of Relativistic Electrons and High-speed Jets Linked to Shock-generated Transients"! doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/ad… via @AAS_Publishing #Heliophysics #Astrophysics
In this paper, Ling Chen and colleagues have done excellent work on further exploring the properties of F-H emissions that we discovered in iopscience.iop.org/article/1…

Thrilled our research on electron acceleration is out in @NatureComms!
We show how a multiscale process accelerates electrons to very high energies, revealing how shocks act as natural accelerators across the Universe. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Parker Solar Probe has phoned home!
After passing just 3.8 million miles from the solar surface on Dec. 24 — the closest solar flyby in history — we have received Parker Solar Probe’s beacon tone confirming the spacecraft is safe. go.nasa.gov/4fIKuTe

"We're trying to understand where the solar wind is born" @yeimyrivera_sol on the record-setting "kiss" of the sun by NASA's solar probe. "Understanding space weather in these energetic particles is incredibly important"
May perhaps be NASA's last great exploratory mission for a long time.
Today is the last contact with Parker Solar Probe before its historic solar flyby on Dec. 24, when it will pass just 3.8 million miles from the Sun: go.nasa.gov/4gOjAKC
Next contact is Dec. 27, when Parker sends a beacon tone to confirm it’s safe. Here we go! 🛰️ ☀️

What a trip! I visited some long term collaborators and made new collaborations in my recent trip to the US! I gave 6 talks over a period of three weeks.
A special thanks to @AstroKoulou @LynntheBruce @CenterForAstro and everyone at APL who I can’t seem to find on here.
Additionally, I also had a nice time seeing my academic great-grandfather Roald Sagdeev, my academic mentor Volodya, and friends and colleagues and former mentors, Jens, @jmagdalenic and Misha Balikhin - all in the same place at AGU!

☀️ NEW VIDEO! Immanuel Christopher Jebaraj (University of Turku) chats about his article on the Sun: youtu.be/r9zxP7iMqts
The AAS Journal Author Series connects authors with their article, their human story, and the larger #astronomy community. #ExploreAstronomy 🔭
I was in the @CenterForAstro and presented a concise review of the last two exciting works that we did with @NASA PSP data. Shock waves, their structure, particle acceleration, and the resulting radiation:

Recently, I sat down with @AASNova to discuss our recent work on detecting synchrotron radiation from interplanetary shocks!
