It's great that RAS Diversity are taking bullying and harassment so seriously, and that a plenary at #NAM2024 is devoted to the recent survey results.

Congratulations Chiaki Kobayashi of I Hert Space for her RAS award!

Professor Chiaki Kobayashi of the University of Hertfordshire is presented with the 2024 George Darwin Lectureship. She is an internationally recognised leader in the field of chemical evolution of galaxies, and a pioneer in the study of the origin of the elements. Congratulations!

Next up the Winton Award for #Astronomy is presented to Dr Chris Lovell. Chris Lovell is an exceptionally promising post-doctoral scientist whose work is being used to understand some of the earliest forming galaxies discovered by NASA Webb Telescope. #NAM2024

More I Hert Space stars: Emma Curtis Lake giving her plenary talk about all the exciting JADES results

Captivating plenary by Emma Curtis Lake explaining how JWST has helped us to understand what reionized the neutral early Universe, using Ly-α spectra of the earliest galaxies RAS NAM - Hull 2024 #NAM2024

Such a privilege to give a plenary talk at #NAM2024 in a year when dual roles of mother+milk machine and scientist have made even UK based travel challenging. Sorry to not stay the whole week, but thanks to my family for following me here today so I could show up!

Congratulations on a successful viva Dr. Lazar !🧑‍🎓🌌🔭🎉

Congratulations to CAR's newest PhD Dr. Josefine Jensen, who had a successful viva on Friday! Ben Burningham

Our new building I Hert Space (called "SPECTRA"!) is celebrating its opening with very nice branded cupcakes today!

Astronomers find the biggest black hole jets ever – and they are astonishingly vast independent.co.uk/space/black-ho…

Astronomers have spotted the biggest pair of black hole jets ever seen, spanning 23 million light-years in total length. That's equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way galaxies back to back. youtube.com/watch?v=1QsG9v…

An international research team led by Caltech has discovered the biggest pair of black hole jets ever recorded in space. Dr Roland Timmerman of Durham Physics calibrated the high-resolution Low Frequency Array data to aid the discovery. Read more 👉 brnw.ch/21wMOIT #DUresearch

NEWS: Astronomers have discovered a black hole that’s blasting out the largest and longest jets of hot plasma ever observed. Nicknamed Porphyrion after the mythological Greek giant, this colossal jet system spans 23 million light-years, equivalent to lining up 140 Milky Way

A huge discovery, made possible by our #LOFAR radio telescope!

My latest paper is on arXiv today - The LOFAR Two Metre Sky Survey Data Release 2: Probabilistic Spectral Source Classifications and Faint Radio Source Demographics - currently the largest spectroscopically identified radio catalogue around... arxiv.org/pdf/2409.11465

Astronomers have found a black hole jet as long as 140 Milky Way galaxies lined up back-to-back. That's over 23 million light-years long. These jets, known as Porphyrion, span an incredible 23 million light-years in length.
