Please check out my first paper as a member of the ASAS-SN team: Peak-Luminosity/Decline-Rate Relationship for Tidal Disruption Events (arxiv.org/abs/2001.08214). I also made a brief video summarizing the paper! youtu.be/4bT_Wf6mWaQ

My first astrobite!!

My latest first author paper, "Discovery and Follow-up of ASASSN-19dj: An X-ray and UV Luminous TDE in an Extreme Post-Starburst Galaxy" (arxiv.org/abs/2006.06690) is now on astro-ph! For a brief video description check out: youtu.be/WjTZwO7vcFM

In this episode of #MKO_atHome join UH Institute for Astronomy grad students Alison, Jason, Zach, and Erica as they start at the sun and walk through the Solar System. youtu.be/LNLCCXlOtao #WalkingtheSolarSystem

I’ve been remiss in sharing these recently, so here’s my latest astrobite!

Who just posted his 5th(!*#!) paper? Who is just a 2nd-year UH Institute for Astronomy grad? Who now needs to finish/pass their finals? (Hint: the answer to all is Jason Hinkle) arxiv.org/abs/2012.08521 Take a gander. This paper should be of great use to the TDE/changing-look AGN communities.

From Jason Hinkle: Meet Leo I, one of the dwarf galaxies that may help us understand the earliest galaxies to form. astrobites.org/2020/12/17/fro…

From Jason Hinkle: Massive stars live fast and die young, making metals along the way. astrobites.org/2020/12/23/pum…

Citizen ASAS-SN is now live on The Zooniverse ! Come help us discover variable stars using ASAS-SN data! @SuperASASSN Tharindu Jayasinghe zooniverse.org/projects/thari…

Is this a crime drama or a science paper? UH Institute for Astronomy grad student Aaron Do pieces together a story almost 50 years in the making, translating the position of the nearest Ia in 120 years (SN1972E) from photographic plates to HST to unravel this whodunit. arxiv.org/abs/2102.07796

. astrobites is hosting our very first undergrad webinar. Tell your undergrad friends about it! I'm excited to see how it turns out! And hopefully it's the first of many too! Details here: astrobites.org/advising-webin…

When an unfortunate star orbiting ASASSN-14ko’s monster black hole gets too close, they become a snack! During each close pass, the black hole’s gravity funnels enough gas away from the star to make three Jupiters. #NationalSnackingDay go.nasa.gov/2Oo9ND3

Gourav: "There's a GREAT resource list here: docs.google.com/document/d/1it…"

RT of the well-observed TDE ASASSN-19dj in honor of #BlackHoleWeek. Not only does it have lots of high-quality UV/optical and X-ray data but it occurred in a particularly interesting host galaxy!

If you have telescope time in the south, ASASSN021kl is a good direction to point it. ;-)

Today is PAPER DAY and I’m very pleased to introduce the TESS-Keck Survey, a large RV program using ~100 nights on Keck/HIRES to follow up transiting planet candidates identified by the NASA_TESS mission. (a thread)

new first-author paper up on astro-ph (arxiv.org/abs/2209.15019)! 🥳with the help of my wonderful collaborators, I identified 29 AGN candidates using TESS light curves (1/5)

From @SabinaAstro, Jason Hinkle, & Ryan Golant: We've updated and expanded our "Guide to the Electromagnetic Spectrum"! Read on to learn about all the different flavors of light in the Universe, where this light comes from, and how we can detect it. astrobites.org/2022/10/16/gui…

It's rare for a grad student paper to spark a new subfield—but this collab between UH Institute for Astronomy’s Colby Haggerty and the Shappee transient group might do just that, solving key mysteries in supernovae & kilonovae! Check it out! arxiv.org/abs/2504.15335 In it, Dhvanil Desai Dhvanil Desai
