Space Drafts #105 is happening TONIGHT (4/15) at 7:30pm Tucson time at Borderlands Brewing Downtown and bit.ly/SpaceDrafts106. Dr. Laura Rogers (@astroloz.bsky.social) from NSF NOIRLab will be talking about dead planets around dead stars and then we have trivia!

First day as a postdoc at NoirLab in Tucson today, keen to connect with US researchers and if anyone wants a talk about white dwarf planetary systems let me know! 🔭🪐

New paper out today where we find simultaneous dust and gas emission in the disc surrounding a white dwarf star - this tells us that the dust and gas must be produced together around this white dwarf - more details here: arxiv.org/abs/2412.07647
Simultaneous emission from dust and gas in the planetary debris orbiting a white dwarf
There is increasing evidence for the presence and variability of circumstellar dust and gas around white dwarfs that are polluted with exoplanetary material, although the origin of this dust and gas r...

Such a great astrobite on our recent paper! Pollution is definitely not all bad :)
From Amaya Sinha: Understanding the compositions of exoplanets it a key piece to understanding their formation as well as their chemistry. But how can we do that? 🔭✨️

It’s a great day to wake up as PI of 2 new Hubble programs! Bring on the white dwarf science! 🎉

Some great arxiv papers for April fools day, my favourite this year is ‘multi-messenger astrology’ - arxiv.org/abs/2403.19749

Andrew Swan kicks off the final day of #DustDevils24 with a review on Extreme Debris Disks (those systems with fractional luminosities > 1%) - including lots of fun information on white dwarf disks, a topic close to my heart

Back for day 4 of #DustDevils24 and we are starting the day off closer to home with a great review talk from Bryce Bolin about the Solar System as a debris disk

And we are back for day 2 of #DustDevils24 with Schuyler Wolff taking us on a tour of observations of debris discs from Hubble scattered light images, all the way to new JWST images of the inner disks

Debris Disks in the Sonoran Desert kicking off with a great talk by Joan Najita, key takeaways: Planet formation begins early (during Class I phase) and is efficient (30%), big protoplanetary disks make the bright DSHARP Debris disks and compact disks make solar system like disks

I can't type 'white' without automatically typing 'dwarf' after it, I think I write 'white dwarf' too much ... !

Finding new people to follow whilst waiting for the HST reference files to download is a great Tuesday morning start!

It's that time of year again - updating my "how to apply for astro postdoc jobs" talk. Webpage and (draft) slides for the 2023 edition below - suggestions always appreciated.

All of them are my favourite, is that allowed?
Today, we have new views of the Whirlpool Galaxy from the JWST! I laid the images taken by each instrument side by side, plus the composite, and the Hubble version. You can really see how the mid IR (MIRI) brings a whole new light to galaxies!
Which version is your favorite?
