hi Bluesky! I’m Madyson, a 3rd-year phd student at unc chapel hill discovering and studying young transiting planets. Maybe you saw our recent Nature paper on the discovery of my new favorite, IRAS 04125+2902 b (aka TIDYE-1b 😉)

TESS Investigation -- Demographics of Young Exoplanets (TI-DYE) III: an inner super-Earth in TOI-2076
Young (<500 Myr) multi-planet transiting systems are valuable environments for understanding planet evolution by offering an opportunity to make direct comparisons between planets from the same format...

Everyone stop by and tell them about IRAS 04125+2902 🪐
We will be filming #ExploreExoplanets shorts 📽️ at the IPAC/NExScI booth at #aas245, so come by the booth while I'm there to tell me (and the world!) about YOUR FAVOURITE PLANET, real of fictional.

Telling folks in advance so you can prepare your thoughts before I jump you when I see you. 😂🪐🔭

#carrboro and #chapelhill friends! Check out Physics from the Ground Up. Tomorrow (Dec 3) at 6pm at Lanza's Cafe. ☕🔭🧪🪐⚛️

Hear from Madyson Barber (@madysonbarber.bsky.social) on her the youngest transiting planet and Stephen Yates on lesser known physicists of the Middle Ages.

See you there!
