Apropos #Congress

Aaaand thesis submitted! I’ll be defending my PhD - “Characterizing Variability in the Solar Convective Velocity Field Toward Enabling 10 cm/s Radial Velocity Precision” - on May 2nd at 9 am. Message me for the link!

👀 NASA Goddard is hiring a Chief of the Exoplanets and Stellar Astrophysics Laboratory. Come work with us!! 😀 usajobs.gov/job/787469700 The application deadline is April 25!

I’ll be the new Manager for NASA’s Exoplanet Exploration Program NASA Exoplanets in a few weeks!! I’m super excited and a little terrified, but looking forward to being able to “Dare Mighty Things” with my @NASA and NASA JPL colleagues to move the exoplanet community forward!

#GaiaBH3 is the new record holder in our Milky Way with its 33 solar masses. Most black holes with stellar origin have a mass of about 10 solar masses. The mass of this new Gaia #BlackHole is pinned down with unparalleled accuracy, putting it firmly in the 30 solar mass range!

We are restarting #CHEXO #Exoplanet meetings in the DMV+ area!

We'll be having #CHEXO 11 STScI in Baltimore on Friday May 17th 2024 (abstracts due Today). All day, no fees.

Be sure to register and also subscribe to our mailing list on the new website: sites.google.com/view/chexo-mee…

Leiden PhD student Dirk van Dam Dirk van Dam and I have a paper on 'BeyonCE -- Light Curve Modelling Beyond Circular Eclipsers I. Shallot Explorer' out now on arXiv:

Early career exoplaneteers, today is the last day to register ERES 2024 at Cornell. There is no registration fee and travel support is available.

The 6 body problem #3BodyProblem

State-of-the-art (for the time!) 1962 map of Mars, based on observations by Lowell Observatory’s Earl Slipher & Percival Lowell, & UT Austin’s Gerard de Vaucoleurs - this was the map available informing the first Mars flyby by NASA JPL’s Mariner 4 in 1965.

🔥April 2024 #ExoExplorers Talks🔥

Join us Friday, April 12 at 11am PDT for talks by Daniel Yahalomi of Columbia Astronomy on building TTV model selection techniques, and UT Austin Astronomy's James Mang on developing exoplanet water-cloud models using #JWST data. Info:

Reminds me of simulations of the interstellar medium - converging flows of gas producing molecular clouds and gravity ->protostars, followed by expulsion of the gas as the stars ‘turn on’, due to outflows, expanding ionized gas (H II regions) and stellar winds from massive stars.

Should the probability that an Earth-like planet *shouldn't/can't/doesn't* exist in a certain orbital radius/size (due to being dynamically excluded) range be... 'eta_Dearth'? #exoplanets
