@atlastdesign.bsky.social For all the AtLAST folks wondering what a Cassegrain design entails: xkcd.com/3182/ Unfortunately this doesn't get into the Ritchey-Chrétien design variant specifically!

¡2025, qué gran año! ✨ Ha sido un año lleno de ciencia, que empezó con la celebración de nuestro 25º aniversario 🥳 ¡Felices fiestas y feliz año nuevo 2026! 🚀

In case you missed it, yesterdays AtLAST Forum talks are now available on our YouTube channel! Links to both excellent talks here: Thomas Morris: “A comprehensive simulator for single-dish millimeter-wave Telescopes” youtu.be/RCgbVTShl8U?... Jonas Wurzinger: “maria goes NIFTY” youtu.be/Hcu7s3J6pm4

Researcher position available at the University of Oslo to conduct synthesis and characterization of alloys including feasibility and sustainability under realistic conditions envisioned for AtLAST, deadline 30 april 🔭 🧪 #hydrogen #renewables www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Kicking off the AtLAST2 kickoff! @atlastdesign.bsky.social

The next AtLAST forum is planned for this coming Thursday March 6th at 14 UTC. Talks: 1) telescope design, 2) the science shaping the design, followed by an open discussion. For details and zoom link check www.atlast.uio.no/news-and-eve...

In case you missed it, the recordings of the talks are now available on our YouTube channel 🧪🔭 www.youtube.com/@AtLASTdesign

The physics REU program at Duke has been canceled this year. It was one of two programs in the country that enabled students to do research at CERN. www.science.org/content/arti...

It happened. Trump and Elon cut our Dept of Defense grant on climate, adaptation, migration, and conflict.

@simonsobs.bsky.social is happening!

Almost a year later, I found that AtLAST was mentioned in 2 news stories shortly after we posted the design paper: www.universetoday.com/166060/astro... phys.org/news/2024-03...

too funny 😂

AtLAST is now also on YouTube! We have uploaded the AtLAST forum talks from yesterday 🧪🔭

A gentle reminder that Paranal is endangered. 🔭

Hello Bluesky! We’re excited to share with you here! Follow for instrumentation, cosmology and astrophysics updates from the scientists of the Simons Observatory.

Fake lines in your ALMA data? Unsure about the statistics? Try jackknify (pypi.org/project/jack...)! ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2025arXi...

An amazing piece of work led by (my brother in science) Joshiwa van Marrewijk and Thomas Morris. Are you building a single-dish telescope (not not talking about you, @atlastdesign.bsky.social) and want to test for mapping and filtering strategies, atmospheric mitigation, etc? Just ask maria. 📡🔭🧪

In this new paper led by Joshiwa van Marrewijk we demonstrated that AtLAST’s 50m-diameter provides the highest levels of correlation of atmospheric signals across adjacent detectors compared to smaller apertures: AtLAST will be great at removing submm atmospheric signal on large scales 🔭

"The AtLAST project has demonstrated that the pursuit of transformational science can go hand in hand with a more sustainable approach", states project coordinator @claudiacicone.bsky.social in this interview for #CORDIS @ec.europa.eu cordis.europa.eu/article/id/4... 🔭 🧪

Being cool, the Spiderweb way 🕸️ Marika Lepore led a re-analysis of the central region of the Spiderweb protocluster at z=2.16, combining Chandra X-ray and ALMA SZ data. And we find evidence for a strongly cooling core. More on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2312.06392 🔭🧪

Are you excited about the potential for ALMA in the 2030s? Are you worried about how we'll get there? Then this workshop is for you!

Sensitivities for everyone! 📡 [feel free to drop me a message if you encounter any problems with the calculator] 🧪🔭

Reposting this so that it appears in the #astronomy feed 🔭

Abstract submission for the conference "The AtLAST design study: results, science and next steps" (21-24 May 2024) is OPEN: www.atlast.uio.no/news-and-eve... 🔭🧪
