We are having an upcoming educational event in Spanish! Si el eclipse te tiene entusiasmado por aprender más sobre el sistema Tierra-Sol-Luna (o te interesa la astronomía o una carrera STEM en general), te esperamos en Noches Astronómicas este 27 de abril: bit.ly/noches-evc

KIPAC scientists at SLAC just finished construction of the world's largest digital camera! This camera is the result of two decades of work and will be mounted on the LSST at the Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile. www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2024-04-0…

Don't miss our public lecture tonight on stellar-mass black holes, given by Katherine Blundell! Learn how these 'monster eaters' spread matter and affect their surroundings. Register & more info: bit.ly/black-holes-ap…. See you soon in person or online! 🤩

For those wanting to learn more about the science behind the upcoming eclipse, Sushant Mahajan has got you covered! Check out a summary of his recent solar astrophysics work here: news.stanford.edu/report/2024/03…

Discover how KIPAC researchers are working on an innovative new way to detect dark matter: www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2024-03-2…

Join us on April 2nd at 7pm PDT as Prof. Katherine Blundell from Oxford discusses how black holes spread matter and interact with their surroundings. Whether in person or online, this talk is a must-see! More info & register at bit.ly/black-holes-ap…

We had another fun public stargazing night this past Tuesday; a big thank-you to our wonderful volunteers! Check out the images we took of some targets. Want to join the next stargazing event? 🔭⭐ Sign up for our mailing list: bit.ly/KIPAC_outreach

Don't miss tomorrow's public lecture on Dark Energy given by Dr. Sandy Yuan in Hewlett 200 at 7pm PST! There is still time to register here: bit.ly/dark-energy-fe…

The Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) recently celebrated two decades investigating dark matter, black holes & galaxy formation. Now, KIPAC scientists look forward to new telescopes, new synergies & new ways to analyze data. ow.ly/7nf450QE4f6

Mark your calendar for KIPAC’s public lecture on Feb. 26! Dr. Sandy Yuan will be discussing how we put constraints on Dark Energy using galaxy surveys. Register or get more information here: bit.ly/dark-energy-fe…

Stanford Physics welcomes Dr. Victoria Kaspi to give the annual, in-person Bunyan Lecture tonight in Hewlett Center Rm. 201 at 7:00pm PST! She will discuss short, intense blasts of radio waves known as Fast Radio Bursts. Everyone is welcome to attend!

Congratulations to the IXPE Collaboration for winning the 2024 Bruno Rossi Prize!

We had clear skies for KIPAC's Stargazing night earlier this week! A huge thank you to all of the amazing volunteers, and we look forward to observing these beautiful nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies with you next time! Sign up for our mailing list: bit.ly/KIPAC_outreach

Amazing result by Sergio Martin-Alvarez, a KIPAC fellow working on cosmic magnetism using MHD simulation and JWST data.

For those at AAS and interested in astro-education - Anne Metevier is presenting on the Lick Observatory ASTRAL college consortium in session 165 on Monday Jan 8 from 5:30-6:30pm CST. iPoster link: aas243-aas.ipostersessions.com/default.aspx?s…

Check out this new paper with mass profiles measured for galaxies as small as M* ~ 10^8.5. Very excited about this and also about how quickly we'll be able to improve these measurements with more spectra and deeper photometry.

Measuring the dark mass of low-mass galaxies with weak lensing!

In case you didn't get to join our lecture on solar astrophysics on Halloween night, we have it recorded: youtube.com/watch?v=SECe-9…. How many Halloween references can you spot? 😉🎃 Plus, the Sun was having a filament eruption that very evening!

Happy Halloween! 🎃 What about some 'sunlight' 🌞 for the spooky night? Come join our public lecture on solar astrophysics TODAY at 7pm PDT! There will be candies along with great science; costumes strongly encouraged! Register here: bit.ly/solar-oct31
