I am speaking/leading a discussion about teaching Machine Learning in the Physical Sciences tomorrow, Nov 12 at 7pm EST! Will share the resources I have put together (textbook, notebooks, slides, assignments, online courses) and my challenges. Join us + spread the word 🙏 www.compadre.org/PICUP/

🔭 The Yale Astro x Data Science Seminar is looking for speakers! Come visit Yale and showcase your work or lead a code demo! Check out our about page for more info: yale-dsaas.github.io/about/

Reach out here or email me at yasmeen.asali@yale.edu if you're interested!

🚨 🔭 🌎💥⭐️ Tiger Lu, David Hernandez, and I have a new paper on the arXiv! It's about TRACE, a new time-reversible hybrid integrator. It performs much better than traditional symplectic hybrid integrators like MERCURY or MERCURIUS.

🔭 Big SAGA (Satellites Around Galactic Analogs) DR3 paper day! III: arxiv.org/abs/2404.14498, IV: arxiv.org/abs/2404.14499, V: arxiv.org/abs/2404.14500 . Too much to summarize here, but upshot: we have 101 MW analogs and 378 satellites around them with completeness understood, and tons of science!

It's SAGA paper day! Mao+ (Paper III) presents the main survey results, Geha+ (Paper IV) investigates the star formation properties of satellites, and Wang+ (Paper V) presents modeling results and explores the galaxy-halo connection!

Check out sagasurvey.org for e-poster summaries of each one!

It's DR3 Paper Day for the SAGA Survey!! 🎉
🌟Mao+ gives a satellite census of 101 MW-like hosts arxiv.org/abs/2404.14498
🌟Geha+ surveys the link btwn environment & star formation arxiv.org/abs/2404.14499
🌟 Wang+ models dwarf quenching with the UniverseMachine arxiv.org/abs/2404.14500

So excited that our SIRIUS B book is now up on arXiv!

Applications are now being accepted for Yale's Dorrit Hoffleit Undergraduate Research Fellowship to conduct astronomy research at Yale during summer 2024! Applications are due February 15th, and more information can be found here: astronomy.yale.edu/undergraduat... 🔭🪐

The AAS Committee on the Status of Minorities in Astronomy offers micro-grants! These can support, for example, funds to pay for grad school apps. Deadline Oct 13. See website for more info

Please reach out if you're interested in presenting! More information on our seminar website: bit.ly/ds-astro-jc

Contact me here or contact yasmeen.asali@yale.edu, imad.pasha@yale.edu, or both. Feel free to tell any friends doing cool work in this area to reach out as well!

-we have a *small* amount of funding for those near enough by to take a train to Yale
- otherwise, we welcome remote/hybrid presentations
- any subfield of astro is welcome, this is a methods focused seminar
- talks are ~30 min, and sessions are bi-weekly on tuesdays at noon. Contact below

Astro folks using novel/cool data science techniques in your work: we’d love to hear you talk about it at the Yale Astro Data Science Seminar . We also have space for code demos or workshops if you want to demo new packages you’re working on. Please reach out if interested! (More info below)
