New simulation suggests Milky Way may escape fated collision with Andromeda galaxy - future data releases from European Space Agency ESA Gaia should give us the answer! | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

I admire it, very cute.

At UK ATC we have spent the last 25 years working on some of the most powerful, innovative and exciting projects in #astronomy. 💫🛰️📡 Find out more about our work 👉 ukatc.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/home.aspx

Nice! I know it's impossible to capture all the early works, but I personally like to highlight Ken Freeman (1970: Appendix A(c) of ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1970ApJ...… who makes it clear from the rotation curve of NGC300 there must be missing matter (using data from ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1967AuJPh.…))

I put some slides up on my website I made for a mini lecture on some aspects of magnetic field growth and the turbulent dynamo — take a look (astrojames.github.io/notes/) if you’re interested! Incomplete, for sure, but I will be adding more to the lecture over the year.

A recent article published in Publications of the Astron Society of the Pacific describes the SPECtrophotometer for TRansmission spectroscopy of exoplanets (SPECTR), a new low-resolution optical spectrophotometer designed for transmission spectroscopy of transiting exoplanets. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…. -JGM

Might human and artificial intelligence (AI) have more in common than you think? In their creation of language, for example. Terry Tao improvises in his Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture. Watch the full lecture: youtube.com/watch?v=_sTDSO…

We are organizing a workshop in New York City to discuss how to combine numerical simulations with machine learning techniques to improve our knowledge of cosmology and galaxy formation. If you are interested in attending, please register here events.simonsfoundation.org/event/51977633…

Woohoo, Chandra is saved for 2025!! 🎉🎉🎉

This ESO image of the central parts of Centaurus A reveals the parallelogram-shaped remains of a smaller galaxy that was gulped down about 200 to 700 million years ago.

Welcome to #China 🇨🇳 Zhuhai

“Who cares convection, we care”, haha, convection, overshooting, rotation mixing, mass loss, it reminds me of something ten years ago at NAOC, interesting.

I'm very familiar with this road because my home is just on the left side of it. Along this road, you'll find hot pot, roast fish, fried pork slices, and more delicious food, let us go......

The IAU Symposium #IAUS397 on 'Exploring the Universe with Artificial Intelligence (UniversAI)' will be held from June 2 to 6, 2025, in Athens, Greece. Deadlines: Abstract Submission: From Nov. 1 to Feb. 1. IAU Travel Grant: Open until Feb. 1. universai2025.hua.gr #IAUS397

Excited to be apart of newly $20million AI Institute for Cosmic Origins. Another thing putting UT Austin Astronomy on the international stage! Congratulations to my colleague Stella Offner who will PI this extraordinary effort! oden.utexas.edu/news-and-event…
