- !!! new on work led by U.C. Berkeley postdoc, Yuhan Yao 🦖 incl. comments from @gymleadererica.bsky.social et al. "Like a scene out of a sci-fi movie, astronomers using NASA telescopes have found 'Space Jaws.'" 🧪🔭☄️ #womeninSTEM #highenergyastro science.nasa.gov/missions/hub...
- Excited to announce the 'Rutgers Summer Transient Soiree' this July 16-18! To offset the uncertain funding landscape, we are offering a hybrid option + requiring NO registration fee. Non-faculty are especially encouraged to apply! Please apply by May 31! More in the replies! 🧪🔭☄️ #highenergyastro
- v excited to see this work from @astrobonk.bsky.social on the arXiv !! In this, Rebecca Kyer + report the discovery of two Galactic accreting compact objects consistent with being transitional millisecond pulsars !! I worked on this optical variability plot with Rebecca !! 🧪🔭☄️ #highenergyastro
- I'm all for going back to fundamentals to see what was missed, but I'm annoyed by anyone who says there's nothing else to discover. Their disenchantment with a discipline doesn't mean a whole field is an absolute dead end. #highenergyastro ⚛️🧪
- And now, with all the correct figures, our white paper for US agencies We highlight the importance of multi-messenger astrophysics and the need for efficient and joined up funding streams from the various agencies - none of which involved mass firings #highenergyastro 🔭 arxiv.org/abs/2502.03577
- Michaela Schwab's first first-author paper is now out! She analyzes HST imaging at ~2500 (!!!) days post-maximum and finds there is still (still) a flux excess! She is PI of a HST program that will be revisiting this source to keep tracking the evolution! 🔭🧪☄️👩🔬 #highenergyastro #womeninstem
- Two papers pioneering gamma-ray bursts and multi-messenger sources as gravitational wave candidates will be published in a special issue of the Royal Society Philosophical Transactions A on the 10th and 24th April 2025. Pre-print for articles I co-authored tinyurl.com/5x27jz2j #highenergyastro
- Trying to kick off a discussion (and hopefully some new simulations) with our look at the candidate QPO in the GRB 211211A precursor #highenergyastro #astrophysics @ljmu-ris.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2503.15613
- A JAXA/NASA collaborative mission with ESA participation, #XRISM studies the Universe in X-ray light with an unprecedented combination of light collecting power and capability to distinguish X-rays of different energies. Find out more 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭🧪 #highenergyastro
- ah !! new from Fabio Ragosta (Università di Napoli Federico II) et al. who find support that SN 2015ap originated from a binary star system ! Figure 1 (below) shows the publicly-available light curve of SN 2015ap, and I really like that the points are little stars ! 🧪🔭☄️ #highenergyastro
- It's been a long time coming... the paper I led on GRB 221009A was recently accepted for publication by ApJ ! : ) Check out this poster I made for the project for the upcoming 'Celebrating 20 Years of Swift Discoveries' Conference !! 🧪🔭☄️ #highenergyastro #womeninSTEM
- Alex Cooper's paper resurrecting GRB models for X-ray binary jets - after a nearly 25 year hiatus. Here, we use a modified jetsimpy model to include reverse shock emission for both energy and kinematics for X-ray binary MAXI J1535-571 #astronomy #highenergyastro arxiv.org/abs/2503.10804
- So satisfying to create plots like this. #Relativity #gradschool #Python #JupyterNotebooks #differentialgeometry #highenergyastro ⚛️
- Mission accomplished for #Integral 🕹️🛰️✅ After 2886 orbits & 22 years in space, our gamma-ray telescope ends its observations 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... Integral uncovered the nature of gamma-ray bursts & the origin of gravitational wave events, among others 💥✨ 1/3 🔭🧪 #highenergyastro
- new Hubble story on the spiral galaxy, UGC 5460, a host to two recent supernovae, SN 2011ht and SN 2015as !! featuring data from Wynn Jacobson-Galán !! #highenergyastro 🔭🧪 Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, W. Jacobson-Galán, A. Filippenko, J. Mauerhan science.nasa.gov/missions/hub...
- reading this by Jialian Liu at Tsinghua University for #paperthursday #highenergyastro 🔭🧪 arxiv.org/abs/2502.18900
- New paper on the arXiv this morning about neutron star pulse profile modeling, led by PhD student Mariska Hoogkamer and featuring statistical sampling archmage @johannesbuchner.bsky.social 🔭🧪 #highenergyastro arxiv.org/abs/2502.13682
- #Einstein Probe captured the X-ray flash from a very odd celestial couple. The pair consists of a hot star, more than 10 times larger than our Sun & a small compact white dwarf, with a mass similar to our star. Find out more 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭🧪 #extragalactic #highenergyastro
- New paper on the arXiv this morning! How does stellar spin rate influence how well we can recover neutron star radius (which depends on the equation of state of ultradense matter inside the star) using pulse profile modeling? #highenergyastro 🔭🧪 arxiv.org/abs/2502.07471
- My latest NY newspaper column. May we all develop Nancy Drew grit to solve any problem before us. Please tell me your favorite physics mystery! www.allotsego.com/citizen-scie... 🧪⚛️ #highenergyastro #scicomm #journalism #mysteries #Edusky #AcademicSky
- This whole thread is great, but this is hilarious. Watch out, finely structured alpha, I'll get you like Éowyn got the Witch-king of Angmar, mark my words. 🧪⚛️ #highenergyastro
- oooooh excited to read this from Shibata et al. #highenergyastro 🔭 arxiv.org/abs/2502.02077
- new from Dr. Lindsey Kwok on her JWST work !! my postdoc is in her former group at Rutgers w/ @sublunar.bsky.social, so Lindsey and I have been working closely on some new projects 👀 read more later this spring : ) v excited to see her featured !! go listen !! 🧪🔭👩🔬 #highenergyastro #womeninstem
- I flew over Greenland on my way to a physics ⚛️ conference. Some of my colleagues have #highenergyastro experiments going in peace and quiet, interrupted only by intermittent polar bears. Let's keep it this way. 🧪
- Access slides from this great conference starting here! (Click on the paperclip icon in the upper-right corner.) I very much enjoyed talking with participants about #AI in #scicomm and how to improve our methods of #highenergyastro detection and analysis. 🧪⚛️ events.icecube.wisc.edu/event/243/ti...
