UniSQ PhD student Emma Nabbie has a cool paper about a Kepler system showing more than 24 hr of TTVs! They show that the system can be explained by a mutually inclined (15deg) non transiting interior planet at 2:1 resonance! See paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

dear jwst, can u please update the cycle 4 go website? ur australian fans would like to be able to sleep. cheers, an 0/5 first time jwst proposer

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

Well, this is horrifying

As a former athlete & current researcher of online rumors & disinfo, today's atrocious example of the "right wing bullshit machine" in action — anchored on a truly idiotic claim from a football coach turned GOP senator about trans girls making girls sports "extinct" — enrages along both dimensions.

Here are the three goals of the March 7th #standupforscience as information is altered & removed, funding changed in ways that penalize scientists, & needed expansion in participation replaced with opportunities for less.

I saw a reel where it was stitched and this White Gen X guy asked why were Black GenXers so angry and the Black woman said "Because we grew up with you and thought you were different but you turned into your parents." A word.

I don’t want to see anyone in a store parking lot tomorrow. (With the only exception of small businesses).

the astro community posting their research here on bluesky is kinda like hanging assignments you are proud of on the fridge but virtual

Are you feeling like screaming into a pillow for 1000 years? If you have the means, the Trans Youth Emergency Project is giving direct grants to families of trans kids. southernequality.org/tyep/

I've not been called a DEl hire/admit (directly or indirectly) many times in my life, but when I have been, it has more often than not been by one or both of my parents

"Of course you got [achievement]. There are so few women in physics" but when l express frustration about how there are so few women in physics it’s a “victim complex”

The young vote in Germany, by gender. 😳

Just a reminder that the German courts have ordered Musk to hand over X data pertaining to the most recent German elections in regards to election interference specifically. This needs to be covered more than it is. It's a huge red flag.

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

We have to find a better stellar IDs naming system!! All my days are now just cross-matching APOGEE to Gaia to KIC to TIC to…

Hey, women in science roll call! We’re not invisible and we can’t be erased. RT if you’re a woman in science!

ACTION OPPORTUNITY: Concerned about loss of public services and attacks on federal employees? @socialists.nyc have helpfully created an easy way for you to tell your congressional rep that you want them to stand up for public services and civil servants! 🧪

#KnowThyStar2 James Rogers shows that the Early eVolution Explorer (EVE) will confirm whether planets form water rich or water poor @mmacgreg.bsky.social

Please make a similar statement @aas.org

I'm looking for a two year postdoc to work with me at Macquarie University building an Astrostatistics Research Group! We're interested in diverse applicants with previous experience in applying stats/AI/ML in astronomy, especially in relation to exoplanets/stellar astrophysics/instrumentation.

#KnowThyStar2 shoutout to TIDYE-1 discovery by @madysonbarber.bsky.social @amann.bsky.social in Adam Kraus’ talk!

The legacy of Sco-Cen keeps growing with another super-Neptune (5 Rearth) orbiting the 16 Myr star TIC 88785435 located in UCL! Check out the paper now on arxiv! 🪐🔭✨ arxiv.org/pdf/2502.00576

Come join the exoplanets team at UniSQ in Australia. Our team is seeking multiple PhD positions to understand the formation and evolution of planetary systems, involving ongoing programs on JWST, HST, and VLT. See AAS advert. Applications before March 07. aas.org/jobregister/...

check out our new ~60 Myr multiplanet system, TIC 434398831, in the Theia 116 comoving population!! arxiv.org/pdf/2407.19680

The planets around TIC434398831 were identified by Sydney's independent planet search around pre-main sequence stars from TESS. With follow-up thanks to CHEOPS and many ground-based collaborators.

Excited about @sydneyvach.bsky.social 's discovery of a 60 million year old planet system in the Theia 116 association. arxiv.org/pdf/2407.19680

New results from Madyson Barber's TI-DYE survey (successor to THYME/ZEIT): arxiv.org/abs/2407.04763 Summary: the youngest transiting 'hot Jupiter' has a friend at twice the orbital period. 🧪🔭🪐🌌⭐🎉😍

I was also inspired by @clairelamman.bsky.social and @sydneyvach.bsky.social to make an 'accessible' version of the paper so that you can read it in a hurry or if you're not familiar with the background! 🔭 You can access it here: ryanwhite1.github.io/time-dilatio... 3/4

My paper got accepted last night 🫶 expect a thread after #exoplanets5 😊

If you’re at #ExSSV come check out my poster on young planet occurrence rates with TESS!! (607.02) 🔭🪐

This is such a neat #SciComm concept! 'Doodle my paper' allows authors a very accessible, easy-flow language method of communicating their science papers with wider audiences. Sydney's new paper is rad, and seeing it in this format is so fresh! Everyone should doodle their papers! 🔭🧪

shoutout to my cat, who decided to walk across my laptop keys at 4:59:59 am (Brisbane time) this morning as I was submitting to arXiv.... decided to take the 20 seconds to correct "accepted to AJ alboivjwaolsjikdhgn" so now I'm 9th on the astro-ph.EP page.

Highlighting new paper by UniSQ PhD student Sydney Vach! She computed the occurrence rate of planets <200 Myr with TESS. arxiv.org/abs/2403.03261

My first PhD paper on "The occurrence of small, short-period planets younger than 200 Myr with TESS" has been accepted to AJ and is now available on arXiv! I'll also be presenting a poster on the paper at #ExSSV (607.02)! arxiv.org/abs/2403.03261
