🔭 New paper of the @sagateam.bsky.social accepted in A&A! This is the first paper of the upcoming "Playing CHESS with stars" series! The paper was lead by John Martínez Fernández and Sergen Özdemir, Ph.D. students at the SAGA Team arxiv.org/abs/2509.19443 #stellarastro #SagaTeamCAMK

The High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph (HRMOS) has a new webpage: www.hrmos.eu HRMOS will be proposed as a new instrument for the Very Large Telescope of ESO as part of the VLT2030 roadmap It will combine very high-resolution (80k), >50 multiplex, and high RV precision #instrumentation 🔭

Congrats to the CUBES consortium!

🧪⚛️☀️🔭 This thread explains 3 critical flaws in the Hoyt & Schatten (1993) TSI series. While the paper has many issues, these 3 suffice to negate the sharp recent increase in the series, showing the apparent correlation with Earth's temperature was merely an artifact.

I see a lot of my mutual follow these accounts. Don't do it! They're spam. They steal content, get basic facts wrong, don't credit creators, and often amass an audience so they can link to spammy sites.

🔭🧪 Curious if anyone would like to share thoughts/experience with Qeios and their public peer review approach? Is this a legitimate initiative? Or something to be wary of? #AcademicSky
