Large #Exomoons unlikely around Kepler-1625 b and Kepler-1708 b: arxiv.org/abs/2312.03786 -> "Our injection-retrieval experiments of simulated transits in the original Kepler data reveal false positive rates of 10.9% and 1.6% for Kepler-1625 b and Kepler-1708 b, respectively."

That's no moon! Reanalysis of HST and Kepler observations throws doubt on whether Kepler-1625 b and Kepler-1708 b have large exomoons after all. @DrReneHeller and @Hippke: nature.com/articles/s41550-0…
I was there
The University of Glasgow... or real-life Hogwarts?! 👀⚡

Wonderful plot showing limb darkening @DrReneHeller

Professor Tom Marsh found dead. I discussed the "impossible triple star" with him between 2015 and 2017. It is an unsolved mystery. He was a very kind and patient teacher. I will miss him. ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/20… bbc.com/news/uk-england-cove…
I created a new bot which tweets trending tickers with a return triangle. The figure shows the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) between any buy and sell dates. For example, if you bought the Dow Jones at any point in time and sold >10 years later, it was always profitable 👍
I'd love to be there with the uber-cool @dan_anger, but I'm also very excited to spend 3 workshop days with the powerful @DrReneHeller searching for 🌙s. I guess we won't get THAT high (cheers! 🍺) but for us, not even the sky is the limit 🌎

Farewell Your Majesty. I am a red supergiant, but she was the Queen. She left this universe much too early - 96 years are just a cosmic blink of an eye

Some SETI researchers (like @hippke) have been looking into cosmic quantum communications. Teleportation of unknown quantum states offers some intriguing possibilities - including (as I discuss) ultra-distributed, long-term quantum computation (2/2) nautil.us/we-might-already-s…

PLATO EM camera is about to be tested at IAS, Orsay with our proud team #PLATO @PLATO_fr
My current estimate of Russian tank losses:

Based on 733 documented losses by @oryxspioenko, assuming 80% completeness and 1173 tanks total
New paper and code release with @DrReneHeller Pandora: A fast open-source exomoon transit detection algorithm. Pandora is the first photodynamical open-source exomoon transit detection algorithm. A&A in press, preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2205.09410
Finally, Pandora can produce beautiful videos of transiting planets and moons. Useful to sharpen understanding of geometry and for outreach. Example: youtube.com/watch?v=TDbj5Anj…
We hope for strong community collaboration in searching for moons and further open source Pandora development. Very good experience with detrending (github.com/hippke/wotan) and transit search packages (github.com/hippke/tls) with many community contributions and 100s of users
