Congrats to my postdoc Diego Lorenzo-Oliveira (Univ. Sao Paulo) for his recent Letter on the rotation period (~36 days) of one of the oldest solar twins (8 Gyr) known, HIP 102152, reinforcing the expectations regarding a smooth rotational evolution of the Sun: arxiv.org/abs/2003.13871

Mr. Dre

Awesome new paper up by Jason Curtis et al. on gyrochronology: arxiv.org/abs/2010.02272 It's a monster effort by Jason to explore spin rates at 3 Gyr across a wide range of ages using TESS+clusters. There's so much in here it's hard to know where to start!

This is no trick, but all treat! Dark matter is one of the many mysteries of the universe. Roman will help us better understand this mysterious matter that goes bump in the cosmos. Until then, enjoy this Galaxy of Horror dark matter poster! #NASAHalloween🕷go.nasa.gov/2Tp517h

Super excited about my AAS 237 iPoster! It features a quick visually guided narration for those that want a walk through the project in < 10 mins 🤩 Check out iPoster 339.03 for full details or feel free to watch the video on YouTube: youtu.be/0RlatZgo6rE ✨🙂 #AAS237

Today is the day #AAS237 friends! Check out poster 339.03 to learn about a ~precise~ asteroseismic age for an M dwarf in a wide binary and comparisons of the observed rotation to gyrochronology models 🤩✨ (aas237-aas.ipostersessions.com/Default.aspx?s…)

Happening one hour from now!! ⏰ Tune in and learn about the newest additions to the TESS FOV -- it's our panel on young stars and planets! Featuring Ruth Angus Ann Marie Cody Jason Curtis & George Zhou, moderated by Ben Montet

Registration and abstract submission is now open for "Fifty Years of the Skumanich Relations", to be held in-person 8-11 March 2022 in Boulder, Colorado. skumanich.wdrc.org

Confronting stellar isochrones with the most precise stellar binaries in the cluster Ruprecht 147 discovered by Kepler/K2 GO Office. Can new magnetic field altering convection models explain the discrepancies? Torres, Feiden, Andrew Vanderburg Jason Curtis arxiv.org/abs/2112.12155

Will anyone be able to focus at AAS?

New paper in collaboration with Jason Curtis, Ruth Angus, Trevor David, and Soichiro Hattori, where we investigated the intermediate period gap using periods measured from ZTF arxiv.org/abs/2210.06604
