What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

GALAH DR4 is now public! 10 years of observations, 995 nights (incl. rainy/snowy/cloudy ones), 32 elements (incl. nitrogen), 0.92 Mio. stars, 1.09 Mio. spectra, thanks to an amazing group of observers, engineers, and astronomers. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2409.19858 with links to data.

Hi @Coles I’m Dr Kit, native bee expert. My PhD research was on #beehotels, and I have published numerous articles both in journals and for the public, including being featured on Gardening Australia. These are terribly designed. 1/

Happy to announce the publication of Gliese 12 b, an Earth-sized, temperate planet only 40 lightyears away! This is an excellent target for future studies to examine the atmospheres of temperate, rocky planets.

Here it is, first ever research paper on TOI-836, 2 new TESS planets - super-Earth in the radius valley and a sub-Neptune!! Out on arXiv today 😁 arxiv.org/abs/2208.07328

TOI-836: A super-Earth and mini-Neptune transiting a nearby K-dwarf

We present the discovery of two exoplanets transiting TOI-836 (TIC 440887364) using data from TESS Sector 11 and Sector 38. TOI-836 is a bright ($T = 8.5$ mag), high proper motion ($\sim\,200$ mas...

A recent insightful comment by @MerlinCrossley highlights the magic of in-person #conferences, making many valid points about the value of in-person interaction (campusmorningmail.com.au/new…) --> Based on @futuremeetings work, here is a (not super) brief Twitter thread response 🧵

🔵 Because the black hole is about 27 000 light-years away from Earth, it appears to us to have about the same size in the sky as a doughnut on the Moon. Squint to see the 🍩 in this video 🎥 ESO/M. Kornmesser/L. Calçada

just a regular reminder to grad students that you can make $1000 per 1,000 word science article. as far as side gigs that pay the bills and actually make you a better scientist there isn’t a much better deal.

#JWST isn't here and we already detected 19 chemical species in 35 different exoplanet atmospheres ! This table is one of my contribution to our PPVII chapter on giant (exo)-planets led by Tristan Guillot (arxiv.org/abs/2205.04100).

Wish I could be at #Exo4 - but if you’re there, be sure to meet brilliant new UQ student @AstroShashank and see his poster extending @rodluger’s starry code to oblate stars!

I chose to dedicate the book to my 6 wonderful siblings over a year ago, but wanted to inform them by gifting them a copy each. This past weekend I drove 700 km to see all of my siblings, and share the news, and it was so good for the soul ❤️ I’ve missed them terribly

What kind of core does Jupiter have? In this new paper, we argue that an anomaly in Juno's gravity data can be interpreted as a tidal resonance of Io's orbital motion with one of Jupiter's core normal modes. Our proposal implies that Jupiter has a rather extended dilute core!

I will be giving a free astronomy class for kids this Thursday from 5:45 - 6:30pm on zoom. Recommended ages (7-10), but all are welcome! The topic this Thursday is the recently launched JWST space telescope and the wonders we hope it will uncover. dianavalencia.ca/astro4kids-…
