Second night of the #AuroraBorealis as seen from Kitt Peak National Observatory in Southern Arizona. This time not as bright and intense as yesterday but we still got some #NorthernLights . NOIRLab NOIRLabES

New on the NEID science blog: are the orbits of 'warm Jupiters' aligned with the spin axes of their stars? We investigate for the case of TOI-1670c. Post and accompanying ApJL paper by Jack Lubin. Science conducted at NOIRLab WIYN Observatory

The Milky Way and colorful celestial objects stretch over Kitt Peak National Observatory, a Program of NSF’s @NOIRLabastro in this 📷of the WIYN 3.5-meter🔭. Above the WIYN 🔭is a pantheon of constellations & their stellar companions. 📷:KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/P. Horálek noirlab.edu/public/images/…
Congratulations to NEID PI Suvrath Mahadevan on being named Verne M. Willaman Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics!
.NASA and U.S. National Science Foundation are providing about 100 nights of telescope time, exclusively for exoplanet research. Proposal deadline early September. Come hear about the NN-EXPLORE program (exoplanets.nasa.gov/exep/NNExplore/) on August 9th, 2023, 4:00-5:00 pm (PST) at jpl.webex.com/meet/ardila.
Mounted on WIYN Observatory at Kitt Peak National Observatory, the WIYN High-Resolution Infrared Camera (WHIRC) offers J, H, Ks, and 10 narrowband filters with a pixel scale of 0.10 arcsec pixel-1 and FoV of 202 arcsec × 202 arcsec. Learn more: noirlab.edu/science/progra….

End of the EPRV 5 meeting, and a true delight to catch up with NEID and HPF friends and colleagues! What an amazing group! NEID McDonald Observatory WIYN Observatory NOIRLab PSU Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics
In this #WomensDay we celebrate our amazing colleagues who work at our sites in Arizona, Hawai‘i and Chile. We asked them: 'What word defines women?'. It's easy to see that even though we work in different places, our perspectives are similar! ❤️
What word would you add? ⬇️
Nice graphic! Anyone can apply to use the high RV precision NEID for exoplanet science through the NOIRLab call. Enabling this capability for the community was one of our major motivations for building NEID (and of course we use it too!) WIYN Observatory US National Gemini Office
