Proud moment for UW-Madison Astronomy! Our very own Prof. Thomas Beatty (Thomas Beatty) will be giving a PLENARY TALK at #AAS244 in just 1.5 weeks! Don't miss his insights on exoplanet atmospheres and habitability. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!! aas.org/meetings/aas24…
The #AAS244 meeting is officially underway! Make sure you stop by booth #7 during the week to learn about IceCube Neutrino Observatory , HAWC Observatory , and CTAO ! #ExploreAstronomy
Exciting new result from Thomas Beatty on evolving (mass loss! migration!) planet GJ 3470 b - just the kinds of constraints we need to understand planet formation / evolution!!
Congrats to this team led by Dr. Kate Grier (Beatty) on this exiting result!!
New exoplanet challenge: 1. Survive violent death of a star (w/your oceans intact) 2. Wait ~2 billion years 3. Shift your orbit *a lot* to stay warm & give astronomers ideal backlight for your beguiling atmosphere Fraught! But possible, says Juliette Becker news.wisc.edu/watery-planets…
