"After we flew through the Jovian magnetosphere ..." as heard in a meeting today. It's little moments like those that make my day 😆

visiting #AreciboObservatory has been on my bucket list ever since I first analyzed Arecibo data in undergrad. 2020 is truly the year of what might have been ☹️

“For the first time, we are seeing significant evidence for a signal in our data that is common among many of the pulsars.” Joe Simon, the lead researcher on this project. #NANOGravAAS

🌟⭐️✨ My paper on using fast radio bursts to study ionized gas in galaxy halos is officially out in ApJ! You can check it out here doi.org/10.3847/1538-4… (arXiv:2101.04784), or alternatively, see the talk I gave to CHIME/FRB Journal Club: youtube.com/watch?v=C-pF1w… 🌟⭐️✨

After >40 years of space travel, Voyager 1 has discovered an intriguing new signature of plasma vibrating in the interstellar medium. Thanks to this detection, we can now continuously track the structure of interstellar space traversed by Voyager 1!

🔊 From 14.1 billion miles from Earth, the Voyager 1 spacecraft has detected a new cosmic “hum” in interstellar space from the Plasma Wave System instrument aboard the craft! 🌊 Learn about what this fascinating discovery means to us here on Earth: go.nasa.gov/3hf1mGs

Happy #PulsarFriday! Today's thread is going to focus on the amazing #WomeninSTEM from around the world who who study pulsars! 🧵

Happy #PulsarFriday! Have you ever seen the picture below of the Crab Nebula? Did you know that this supernova remnant actually contains a very interesting pulsar? Learn more about it on this edition of Pulsar Friday! 🧵

In eight new papers, NANOGrav PFC presents evidence for a gravitational wave background. In this bite, we provide an overview of their results and their implications #pulsartimingarrays #GravitationalWaves astrobites.org/2023/06/28/dro…

Congratulations to NANOGrav for detecting evidence that gravitational waves fill the cosmos. These ripples in the fabric of space happen when massive objects like black holes circle one another before colliding. The result brings us closer to understanding how galaxies evolve.
