Great paper and some amazing visualisations! Astro Plot of the Week

The ultimate faculty recruitment list: Hermann Weyl recommending physicists and mathematicians as directors for the IAS in 1945. The competition is so stiff that Wigner and Bethe are considered second-tier. Oppenheimer is the "most inspiring for younger physicists."

Nice paper led by our student L. Gajovic on what happens if you observe galaxies at frequencies of 50 MHz Low Frequency Array . arxiv.org/abs/2406.06689 with Volker Heesen @fradega Henrik Edler et al.

Published in #MNRAS: "MeerKAT discovery of a double radio relic and odd radio circle: connecting cluster and galaxy merger shocks", Koribalski et al. This is Fig. 3: for the caption & to read the paper please visit academic.oup.com/mnras/article/…

And another paper of ours came out today: Low Frequency Array Deep Fields: Probing the sub-mJy regime of polarized extragalactic sources in ELAIS-N1. led by S. Piras with Shane O'Sullivan and others. Deepest and highest-resolution polarization study at 150 MHz to date. arxiv.org/abs/2406.08346

Need to get this flag for my office

eROSITA DR1 maps and catalogues are now available in ESASky! sky.esa.int/esasky/

On astro-ph today: Cosmological simulations of the generation of cluster-scale radio emission from turbulent re-acceleration led by L. Beduzzi. Shows that radio megahalos can be powered by turbulence. arxiv.org/abs/2406.09859

Out today: Ultra-low frequency Low Frequency Array spectral indices of cluster radio halos led by Thomas Pasini w Rossella Cassano Andrea Botteon Henrik Edler et al. Main result: more massive clusters host flatter-spectrum halos arxiv.org/abs/2406.12005

Out today: Zooming in on the Circumgalactic Medium with GIBLE: Tracing the Origin and Evolution of Cold Clouds led by R. Ramesh with Drummond B Fielding et al. Cold clouds do not live very long & collective cloud-cloud dynamics is crucial to their evolution. arxiv.org/abs/2407.00172

Hamburg is shaking it off! ✨Diese Woche gibt Taylor Swift zwei Konzerte im Hamburger Volkspark. Seismische Wellen, die dabei entstehen nimmt auch die Geophysik der Uni Hamburg genauer unter die Lupe: uni-hamburg.de/newsroom/press…

Machine learning can help extract information about magnetic fields in radio observations: Semi-Supervised Rotation Measure Deconvolution and its application to #MeerKAT observations of galaxy clusters led by our student V. Gustafsson with Torsten Ensslin arxiv.org/abs/2407.16762

This should be helpful to students just getting started in fluid simulations. The container also includes the Python-based yt toolkit for analysis. The Docker file and instructions are here : rtfisher.github.io/summerschool_l…

Today on arxiv: Probing the Magnetised Gas Distribution in Galaxy Groups and the Cosmic Web with #POSSUM Faraday Rotation Measures led vy C. Anderson. arxiv.org/abs/2407.20325

Alright, we’re out of here. This platform and the recents comments by its owner have become too problematic. In fact, we should have left some time ago. You will find us on LinkedIn. See ya.
