Last month, CIERA Professor Jason Wang and incoming CIERA Postdoctoral Fellow Sarah Blunt, PhD 🍉 held the 4th iteration of their 💻 Code/Astro workshop 🌙 , a weeklong astronomy software development program! ciera.northwestern.edu/2023/08/08/cod…

A Northwestern University astrophysicist has created the longest time-lapse video of an exoplanet to date. “We need another six years of data before we can see one whole orbit,” said Jason Wang, who led the work. “We’re almost there. Patience is key.” ciera.northwestern.edu/2023/08/09/wat…

The Brothers Sun makes me miss living in the 626. Time to book that flight to LA

Nice work led by Dino Chih-Chun Hsu that expands the sample of benchmark brown dwarfs where we can get accurate abundance ratios using high res spectroscopy!

Northwestern is a host institution this year for the 51 Peg b fellowship! Happy to chat about possible research opportunities and link to other exoplanet/planetary science faculty here.

I tell tales of exoplanet imaging and add my "retirement planet" to the exocast list of adopted planets in the podcast below!

I love hearing about open-source science enabled by Code/Astro. Glad you enjoyed the workshop last year, Ridha!

Looking forward to seeing everyone showcase their new open source packages tomorrow!

I did a podcast with Paul Duffell on imaging exoplanets, and now it's out! I had a lot of fun on it, and Paul was a great host, but he has zero social media presence, so I'm spreading the word. rss.com/podcasts/astro…

Calling all early Universe observers applying for postdocs: consider applying for the Brinson Prize Fellowship with CIERA as your host institution! We have a great extragalactic group 🌌 and plenty of access to big glass! 🔭 Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions

I had the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to the Observatoire de Haute-Provence and see both the telescope and the spectrograph that discovered 51 Peg b. Super cool and awesome that the telescope is still detecting new exoplanets!

Check out our new paper where we make the first C/O measurements of a protoplanet and compare it to the disk C/O!

So excited to share this news!
