Metal-rich H-dominated atmospheres! A nice plot from Nettelmann, Fortney et al. (2011) that connects "times solar," Z, & the mmw. I find myself looking at this plot a lot. ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011ApJ...… We only later wrote down the math, in an appendix in 2013: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013ApJ...…
Great talks today in Oslo from The Kavli Prize recipients David Charbonneau and Sara Seager !
Europe in a nutshell at the The Kavli Prize ceremony post-banquet dance in Oslo: American 80s music never ever dies, and the DJ said that Taylor Swift was "too new for people to dance to."
It was great to see Sara Seager again and meet Charles Darrow in Oslo. I've known Sara since I was a grad student and she was a postdoc. She gave me a lot of important advice when I was a young scientist and we've had many interesting science discussions over the years!
At School of Earth and Space Exploration we have these cool boards showing the countdown to several space missions. I think we should add one for 339 days from now when I will start as Associate Professor. Keep an eye out for postdoc and grad student job postings. Come join us!
