Come check out my #exo3 poster on retrieval analysis of SPHERE and GPI observations of 51 Eri b, a cool (both literally and figuratively) directly-imaged exoplanet. We get constraints of mass, radius, TP structure, chemical abundances of H2O, CH4 and NH3, plus a C/O value!

New paper up on the arxiv today! If a planet-forming system is undergoing gravitational instability, then ALMA Observatory📡 should detect the "GI Wiggle" in channel maps of molecular line observations (circled below). arxiv.org/abs/2007.15686

New paper up on the arxiv! Led by former PhD student Jack Humphries, we ask under what conditions ALMA would be able to detect pre collapse GI protoplanets - you can read it here: arxiv.org/abs/2008.04014

Nice looking paper by James Cadman today on The observational impact of dust trapping in self-gravitating discs arxiv.org/pdf/2008.09826…

Excited to announce our paper is on arXiv this morning after being accepted to MNRAS! We use Monte-Carlo radiative transfer models to analyse the impact of dust trapping on our ability to detect spiral substructure in self-gravitating discs. arxiv.org/abs/2008.09826

The UCL SoP community and BAME action group are proud to be putting on ‘Being Black in Academia’. A talk and Q&A session from four inspiring black academics (UCL, Cork, and Medway). Sign up via the eventbrite link/QR code for zoom invite. 10th September, 10-12. Please share!

Quick post about our new paper, led by James Cadman, with support from @cassidentprone, @tharries and Pamela Klaassen (who doesn't appear to be on Twitter). It's a bit long, but I didn't have time to make it shorter :-)

Piscopia Initiative is expanding! We're building an UK-wide Piscopia Society, where local committees offer support & PhD info events to female & non-binary students at their university. Join us now as a student member or become a local committee chair at piscopia.co.uk/the-piscopia-s…

Planets are born from chaos! 💥🌀🪐 ALMA image of the planet-forming disk around the young star RU Lup, showing a giant set of spiral arms made out of gas. The structure extends to nearly 1000 astronomical units (AU) from the star! 😱 (1 AU=149.597.871 km)

Nice paper today by James Cadman, Ken Rice and @cassidentprone looking at possible planet formation through gravitational instability in AB Aur arxiv.org/pdf/2103.14945…

Very excited about this new paper coming out! This work is a double achievement for me: 1) I managed to convince theorists (James Cadman, @cassidentprone and Ken Rice) to run simulations to test what I thought was going on in my observations💪 2) It actually worked🥳 🧵👇
