Extremely proud and excited to have been part of the team behind today's @eso.org news item about WASP-127 b and its crazy winds (read here: www.eso.org/public/news/...) ... but even more BLOWN AWAY (!) by the incredible animation that I didn't know was going to be attached to it!!! 🤯🪐🔭🧪

Cows aren't often spherical and neither are aerosols. Final-year PhD student Matt Lodge has investigated how non-spherical aerosols in exoplanet atmospheres impact their transmission spectra. Listen to him explain the implications here. #astronomy #exoplanets

SPIDERS is installed on the Subaru Naysmith platform and we got first fringes on from the upstream AO system. Next step, a real star!
Huge thanks to Subaru, NAOJ, and the SCExAO teams for accommodating us.

New paper led by Fabian Polnitzcky & with @sratzenboeck.bsky.social + @joaoalves.bsky.social: based on the ages of stars with infrared excess in Sco-Cen, it seems planet-forming disks last around twice as long as previous estimates suggest - giving twice as long for planets to form. 🔭☄️ #exoplanets

Happy 14 orbits to the NASA #Exoplanet Archive!
Launched on December 5, 2011, the archive has become THE destination for published exoplanet parameters. I've been using it since its inception, and now I'm lucky enough to get to help maintain it and make it better for all astronomers!

New discovery sets humanity up to image “alien Earth”
Yes, astronomers are preparing to directly image Earth-sized worlds around Sun-like stars for the first time.
Here's how the biggest "missing piece" for getting there just fell into place.

New discovery sets humanity up to image "alien Earth"
Finding alien Earths requires seeing Earth-sized planets at Earth-like distances from Sun-like stars. A new discovery completes the roadmap.

I'm sharing this again since I neglected to add #astronomy and #exoplanets, and I don't want you to miss out on the great work done by final-year PhD student Cyril Gapp.
Duncan Christie@astroduncan.bsky.social
The care that has to be taken when analyzing transmission spectra of ultra-hot Jupiters due to 3D effects is always really fascinating. Here is Cyril Gapp's recent talk on his work on the ultra-hot WASP-121b and the cool things going on in its atmosphere. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuZU...

6,000 #exoplanets have been found to date, but ZERO of them are Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars! Why is that? Do any exist? Or is it just hard? ☀️🌍🔭
