Update on #ContrerasFire at Kitt Peak National Observatory: noirlab.edu/public/news/no…. The Contreras Fire reached the Observatory early Friday morning. We are working with firefighters at the site to assess possible damage. 1/4

In the Terra Hunting Experiment "we plan to use [a spectrograph]... for the next 10 years to observe a small set of sunlike stars. This should allow us to reach the sensitivities needed to find an Earth analog." Megan Bedell, @FlatironCCA astronomer ow.ly/vbtC50KO7bB

I had such a great time talking to Sean Carroll in this podcast, podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sea…, Check it out if you love black holes of all sizes, and their gravitational waves!

Want to join a research team that will measure the 3D motion of the Local Interstellar Medium for the first time? Understand our path through the Galaxy? Last week to apply for a European Research Council (ERC) 5-year PostDoc position at Universität Wien jobregister.aas.org/ad/383ef264

Christoph Federrath, blakesley burkhart and Philip Mocz, tell us that there is a critical density where gas becomes Jean’s unstable and collapses under its own self-gravity, forming a set of initial conditions for star formation. Tracking these dense regions in space and time therefore

Thrilled to share that I am the 2023 winner of the HEAD Early Career Prize!!! #AAS241

We congratulate Carleton Science alumna Dr. Chiara Mingarelli Dr Chiara Mingarelli on the wonderful news that she is the American Astronomical Society (AAS)'s 2023 Early Career Prize winner for her accomplishments in High Energy Astrophysics! 🏆👏 #WomenInSTEM #SuccessStory head.aas.org/awards/earlyca…

arxiv.org/abs/2301.07723 My student Sabrina Appel shows the star formation rate in molecular clouds is set by the gas inflow rate at disk scales! First of many interesting papers on this topic as we understand how the gas inflow rate connects to larger galactic scales!

Excited to announce that I have accepted a 4-year joint postdoctoral fellowship split between @FlatironCCA and Rutgers SAS Mathematical & Physical Sciences (MPS), working primarily with blakesley burkhart and Rachel Somerville on a multiscale picture of star formation regulated by feedback from massive stars and AGN.

So proud of Monica Gallegos-Garcia for this well-deserved honor! You make the CIERA community and our field a more inclusive, innovative and thoughtful place.

A win for turbulence

Awesome talk by blakesley burkhart about observing the H2 dissociation front directly in H2 fluorescence with a potential UV probe called EOS. A dream for PDR studies! #olympian2023

wow! just wow. arxiv.org/abs/2309.13115

Congratulations to Prof. Blakesley Burkhart, Department of Physics and Astronomy, for being awarded the Board of Trustees Research Fellowship for Scholarly Excellence! academicaffairs.rutgers.edu/2023-2024-facu… #rutgerssasmps #rutgerssas #rutgersuniversity

Our internship program at Polymathic is open for opportunities from now through fall 2025! I believe our program provides an opportunity to work alongside some of the best researchers and engineering experts in the world — exploring the unknown of building foundation models for
