#NASARoman will soon make particular types of gravitational lenses far more common, pinpointing over 160,000 of them. (To date, we only know of hundreds.) A team plans to study these objects to refine our studies of dark matter: bit.ly/3SyNJDy 🔭 🧪 ☄️

My graduate students Nathan and Bryce passed their grueling PhD quals this week.
May the Fourth be with you.

I presented ExoCore, the open science curriculum my team AstroMusers, @astromusers.bsky.social, is developing for the exoplanet research community. ExoCore will encourage open-science practices, widen and democratize participation in exoplanet research, and facilitate discoveries in the field.

Group member Bryce Wedig just presented our pipeline to simulate strong lens images using the Wide-Field Instrument on the upcoming Roman Space Telescope (#AAS243 presentation 439.05).

Group member Nathan Whitsett just gave his first AAS presentation, showing our initial results from a search for stellar flares in the TESS data potentially induced by orbiting planets (#AAS243 presentation 337.01). Congrats, Nathan!

WashU Physics is participating in the AAS243 grad school & REU fair this evening, where you can talk to some of our students, explore our research thrusts, and learn about our graduate program. As a bonus, we are conveniently next to food and beverage!
