In our latest ESO blog post Adam Watts (@awattsup_) from @ICRAR @ARC_ASTRO3D discusses these spectacular outflows from NGC 4383 revealed by the MAUVE survey, an Australian-led @ESO Large Programme. astronomyaustralia.org.au/es…

🌌 Explosive discovery as astronomers unveil first high-res map of galaxy explosion in galaxy NGC 4383, shedding light on intergalactic chemistry. Gas outflow spans 20,000 light-years💥 @ICRAR #UWA @ESO @awattsup_ @astroquokka

MAUVE survey astronomers @awattsup_, Barbara Catinella & @astroquokka have used @ESO's VLT to map the gas streaming from nearby galaxy NGC 4383, showing how the space between galaxies fills with elements - and giving clues to why star formation stops. icrar.org/outflows/

So, this research is outside my usual bubble, but is something I’m incredibly passionate about: #ScienceEducation and #WomenInSTEM
We did a study and found a clear gender bias in senior high school science curricula across Australia.

ASTRO 3D Postdoctoral Researcher Dr Rebecca Davies, based @Swinburne, has led research that found a rapid increase in warm carbon, which could be the product of the first generations of stars forming 13 billion years ago astro3d.org.au/tracing-13-bi… #astronomy #astrophysics #astro3d
ALT Blue spheres of cool carbon rapidly increase with star formation while warm carbon gets bigger, but more diffuse.

ICRAR #researchers have discover tantalising evidence of magnetic fields in the universe’s largest cosmic structures!
This incredible work by @tvern23 and her team could be used to refine our theories on how the #universe grows.

Zotero has saved me countless hours dealing with references, has helped me keep all my papers in the same place, and has helped me find references and information so much quicker!
This thread is an amazing introduction but I wanted to add a few astro-centric notes: 🧵

Read my latest research on #malaria, published with @Nature in @SciReports. This work highlights the importance of using #machinelearning and advanced #statisticalmodeling in predicting the spread of infectious diseases (here malaria in Sudan). (1/N) nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Success! Jesse van de Sande (@sifa_astro), Barbara Catinella & Luca Cortese @astroquokka (@ICRAR/@UWAresearch) will be taking a deep dive into the cosmos with time awarded on @ESO's powerful #VLT/MUSE instrument. See more: tinyurl.com/VLT-MUSE

We invite you to listen to Eloise Moore’s interview on ABC radio national regarding the #Zadko Telescope team contracted by @esa to track space junk. Eloise is a UWA Physics Master student.👏

Astronomers have a new way of detecting active #BlackHoles in the Universe!

What can angular momentum and stellar mass tell us about galaxy evolution? A new paper from ICRAR-@uwanews' Jennifer Hardwick uses @NAICobservatory data to better understand how our local neighbourhood of galaxies formed.

It's paper day! The SAMI galaxy survey: the drivers of gas and stellar metallicity difference in galaxies (arxiv.org/abs/2111.11627) Have you ever wondered what happens if you compare the stellar and gas metallicities for a whole bunch of galaxies? Read on! (1/6)

Are you in Y9-12 & interested in #Astronomy/#DataScience as a career?
ICRAR is hosting a FREE #StarGirls #STEM Camp 25-28 Jan, w/opportunity to practice some real-world astronomy & talk to leading women in the field. #girlsinSTEM @uwanews @PawseyCentre icrar.org/events/stargirls-s…

I'm a day late to the party, but it's paper day! 🥳 Led by @KarenLMasters, the Galaxy Zoo 3D masks for @MaNGASurvey galaxies can identify spaxels of IFS maps dominated by asymmetric disc components including bars and spiral arms. Pretty cool, right?

Astronomers have designed & trained a computer program which can classify tens of thousands of galaxies in just a few seconds, a task that usually takes months to accomplish.
Great work from ICRAR-@uwanews' Mitchell Cavanagh: icrar.org/galaxy-cnn/

As part of #EASLeiden2021, I have a poster presenting my work on the evolution of the star-forming main-sequence over the last 12 billion years using @devilsurvey! Check it out here: k-poster.kuoni-congress.info…
