From sahil hegde: For today's first bite, we sat down for a conversation with @jorgito__moreno, the fourth Mexican astronomer to earn tenure at an American university! astrobites.org/2024/09/14/jor…

BOOM 💥 Our nature paper is out and is featured on the front cover of the issue. The paper, led by Martijn Oei, is about a giant radio outflow (7 Mpc) from an active galaxy at z~0.9. This has potential implications on the magnetization of the LSS... nature.com/articles/s4158…

Non-thermal phenomena in galaxy clusters on arxiv today: Giada Pignataro+ is in on the extended emission between A2061-A2067 arxiv.org/abs/2409.15412 Francesco Ubertosi+ is in on the interaction between radio lobes and the ICM in core of A496 arxiv.org/abs/2409.15440

The landscape of the Universe can be discerned by the motion of galaxies toward mass concentrations and away from voids. Here, Valade et al. segment space into 'basins of attraction', mapped with 56 thousand galaxy velocities. nature.com/articles/s4155… / rdcu.be/dVh3s

Suspense! They'll announce that today at 4 pm apparently

Amazing!

Friends: AstroAI is hiring a postdoctoral scholar to work on Foundation AI, Multi-modality and Large Language Models! Come work with us at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian ! trustcareers.si.edu/en/postings/d6…

Hey radio astronomy fans I’m hiring for a 3 year postdoc right now to come work with me at CSIRO in Australia on low-frequency radio astronomy. Message me to chat about it. jobs.csiro.au/job/Perth%2C-W…

If you know anyone (incl. yourself) interested in a DPhil at Oxford in plasma/astro, here are the projects for 10/2025 start. We have quite a few this year, and a fair amount of funding, so not only is this the opportunity of a lifetime but it's also real. www-thphys.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/plasm…

📢📢📢 Now you can find the published version here: doi.org/10.3847/1538-4… The last version has the same conclusions but a couple of new cool plots (Astro Plot of the Week) !

On arXiv: the deepest observation ever carried out by Low Frequency Array, by Shimwell+ We used 505 h of data at 150 MHz on the ELAIS-N1 field and produced a 6" image (rms 10.7 muJy/b) and a catalog of +150k sources (see lofar-surveys.org/deepfields_dr2…). Stay tuned for more... arxiv.org/abs/2501.04093

aaand today the paper led by @kamlesh_laxmi+ Here, a detailed multi-frequency radio study based on Low Frequency Array, uGMRT, and National Radio Astronomy Observatory | NRAO JVLA observation is presented arxiv.org/abs/2501.08390

New study in preprint. In this study we test if supernova-driven turbulence, a large component of the turbulence in our Galaxy, resembles classical Kolmogorov-style turbulence, as it is regularly assumed. It does not. arxiv.org/abs/2501.09855
