Check out this radio broadcast where Vlasiator is said to be the greatest example of Finnish #HPC! ⁦Jari Makinen⁩, ⁦@pekkamanninen⁩ and Sebastian von Alfthan in Tiedeykkönen: areena.yle.fi/1-50873635 #space ⁦LUMI supercomputer⁩

YEAAH - our second Academy postdoctoral fellow about to start a project on ionospheric precipitation! 🥂🍾

Today is exactly 162 years of the Carrington storm, one of the greatest storms in modern history bringing aurora to Caribbean. A good day to start the first Carrington-scale test run with Vlasiator! First 7 seconds done, chugging along happily - nothing to see yet, though.

Vlasiator goes timevarying! In Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland Research Fellow Lucile Turc project we recently added timevarying solar wind conditions so we can start looking at all kinds of events! Here a snapshot of ULF wave interaction with bow shock - pic&code by Hongyang Zhou.

We really love this bit in a recent Nature Physics article by J. Shuster: "As demonstrated by [Vlasiator studies], kinetic theory is applicable from the smallest to the largest scales of the magnetospheric plasma system. 😍 nature.com/articles/s4156…

Aurinkomyrskyn mallintaminen vaatii osaamista ja paljon laskentatehoa, mutta sitähän Suomesta löytyy. 👍 mtv.fi/sarja/uutisaam… LUMI supercomputer Vlasiator Minna Palmroth Valtteri Kykkänen #avaruussää

Thank you Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland!! We can’t wait to see how AI methods can be utilised in #space #plasma #physics!!! 🍾🍾❤️😍

Wohooo - thank you Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland for funding in the #EuroHPC call! I'm sharpening my grid teeth to start chewing on ionospheric data together with CSC and @AnttiKero team using EISCAT_3D!

Researchers at University of Helsinki led by Minna Palmroth have been using #HPC resources at @HLRS_HPC to complement and support satellite research aimed at understanding plasma characteristics in near-Earth space. More info: gauss-centre.eu/results/astrop…

Amazing - we started from scratch about 12 years ago, and now we are a group of more than 20, with 13 different nationalities! FI, FR, DE, RU, UK, ET, USA, IT, NZ, KZ, GR, CN, EE! 😊

The PI of Vlasiator Minna Palmroth's article: "Daring to think of the impossible: The story of Vlasiator" is out. She especially thanks the Cluster mission and CSC for inspiration and support in developing the world's first global hybrid-Vlasov code. doi.org/10.3389/fspas.…

We are again #HIRING - come to work in our fantastic Vlasiator team! blogs.helsinki.fi/spacephysics/2…

Wonderful memories of our Harriet George PhD defence with the world’s most renowned radiation belt experts Richard Horne. Well done, Harriet! ❤️🎉

Insightful Vlasiator defence today with Markku Alho Minna Palmroth and Vincent Génot as the honorable opponent!

New paper alert!🚨 In this very exciting work 📜, led by Lucile Turc, we study the transmission of foreshock #plasma 🎆 #waves 🌊 through Earth's 🌍 bow shock using Vlasiator and our NHDS code together with #MMS 🛰️ #data. Nature Physics #openaccess nature.com/articles/s4156…

Check out a new Nature Physics paper from Lucile Turc!

A prestigious European Research Council (ERC) grant to Lucile Turc in Vlasiator team - ecxiting! This is the 3rd Vlasiator-related ERC grant. Congratulations, Lucile! 🎉
