Hot off the press!

One of my students, Yu Wing (Joshua) Lee, has discovered a new radio transient (along with @manishacaleb.bsky.social).

And you don't need to be an expert to process #JWST images ... you can do it from your own home, for free and it's not that hard.

Here's some guidelines: www.spaceaustralia.com/news/process...

1 in 100 billion!

The double pulsar system, where both pulsar beams point at us, offers astronomers a unique chance to study extreme astrophysics.

@cosmicrami.com chatted with @astromelow.bsky.social on his new paper.

y'all.

FAST is an incredible instrument. It is a radio dish that is so big, they placed it in a valley - it is 500m in diameter! (Murriyang is just 64m!)

This makes it extremely sensitive at certain frequencies.

And the team just announced 473 NEW pulsars, incl. 137 new Millisecond Pulsars 🔭📡

How can pulsars be used to detect gravitational waves? Ripples in spacetime affect the path of light!

I'll be posting some fun infographics in the lead up to my paper release on December 3! Follow along so you're ready for the release 🌟 @ozgrav.bsky.social
