My Python environment.

RIP to Bill Paxton, lead developer of MESA. I feel privileged to have learned from the man himself at the 2012 MESA Summer School. #stellarastro #astrocode

At the 9th TESS/16th Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium Workshop this week in Vienna. I'm presenting this poster on my code Pyriod for pre-whitening frequency analysis of astronomical time series data. #astromethods

Here it is: the first set of riches from Rubin's Cosmic Treasure Chest! Introducing NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's first wide and deep view of the cosmos, the southern region of the Virgo Cluster. Rubin produced this image in just 10.5 hours over parts of 7 nights! 🔭🧪 youtu.be/Gitit3LwQ20

I present the #astrocode Pyriod for interactive or scripted pre-whitening frequency analysis of astronomical time series data. See the demo of #stellarastro #TESS data analysis of a pulsating white dwarf star. Check it out at github.com/keatonb/Pyriod/.

Check out the #AAS246 iPoster "White Dwarf Asteroseismology in the Age of Gaia Astrometry" from Andrew Dublin, Agnes Bischoff-Kim and myself: aas246-aas.ipostersessions.com/Default.aspx... #stellarastro

Check out the #AAS246 iPoster "TESS CROWDSAP Errors from White Dwarf Observations" from Nikoo Hosseininezhad and myself: aas246-aas.ipostersessions.com/default.aspx... #stellarastro

Had to withdraw my #AAS246 poster due to COVID, but let me demo "Pyriod: Interactive Pre-Whitening Frequency Analysis in Python." Here is a quick guide to reproducing the analysis of TESS data on a pulsating white dwarf from Bell et al. (2019, ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2019A%26A...632A..42B).

Disappointed to be missing #AAS246 this week, but I gotta keep y'all safe.

Following the inspiration of @ohdearz.bsky.social @theplanetaryguy.bsky.social @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social here’s the NASA fleet with the proposed budget cuts. Red X’s will be fully defunded, green X’s will lose all NASA funding but have other funding sources, and exclamation point means >50% cuts

I'm coordinating a How to Read a Paper workshop for undergrads i and was wondering if people have any resources they have found helpful for outlining readings/building that skill? Any resources or advice help!

Astronomy is in trouble, but you can help! 🔭🧪 I made this video as part of the @aas.org #savescience week of action. Check out their resources on how you can help here aas.org/advocacy/get...

Congratulations to Andrew Ayala, who finished his master’s degree in Astrophysics and has started the Ph.D. Program in Physics at the Graduate Center! He shares advice for new students entering the world of astrophysics www.gc.cuny.edu/news/phd-nex...

Looks like this is the real deal, folks. Very exciting! First confirmed intact planet transiting a white dwarf star!

This was a transformative meeting for me as a senior graduate student. I met many wonderful collaborators and mentors here.

M.S. in Astrophysics at the CUNY Graduate Center is accepting applications for the 2025 Fall semester! Apply at www.gc.cuny.edu/astrophysics... Application deadline is April 15, 2025. 💫 #CUNY #cuny #cunygc #amnh #astrophysics #astro @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social @natural-history.bsky.social

Are all group rate rooms gone for AAS 246 already @aas.org ?

Stand Up For Science!

Had a great time at Cosmic Pathways today representing Queens College Physics. Thanks for organizing this fantastic event @wrightphyshop.bsky.social !

NYC local rally will be in Washington Square Park from 12-3 PM.

The M.S in Astrophysics Virtual Open House is on 3/20/25, 4-5pm et! We will offer program description, degree requirements, application procedure, financial support, & answer questions! Register @ tinyurl.astroopenhouse25 #CUNY #cuny #cunygc #amnh #astrophysics #astro @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social

Preprint of a chapter "White Dwarf Variability" that will appear in the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Astrophysics: arxiv.org/abs/2502.13258

A nice break from the usual work week at the one-day ExoNYC local exoplanets meeting today at the Flatiron Institute/CCA.

Perhaps this bsky thing will take for me in a way Mastodon did not. Hoping for something like the old "astronomy Twitter" to illuminate the humanity, the fun, and the struggles behind the science. Hello world 👋
