Radio astronomer at the Uni of Edinburgh. Has a moustache.
The whole book is _only_ $3000 USD... oof. The one chapter itself is a ~100th of that in cost, but you can read the preprint version (which doesn't weirdly add a hyphen to the title!) for free :v arxiv.org/abs/2410.24072

Saw even more of them in other parts of Greece. Including the islands!

Huh... I was there only two days ago!

It was one of the shootouts of all time :v

We found there are some significant correlations! Scattering timescales correlates with compactness (stellar surface density), mass-weighted age, and gas-phase metallicity.
Meanwhile, |RM| increased in hosts with more edge-on disks.

The signal was a right pain to find, I might add. Thanks to the rest of the CRAFT team involved who helped me debug a bunch of things and figure out this was actually really darn close, and super short timescale (10s of milliseconds!)

I also got some quotes in this space.com article about us finding the Relay 2 satellite - out of operation since 1967! - with ASKAP by chance.

Astronomers thought a mysterious radio burst came from deep space. It was actually a dead NASA satellite
"What caused this signal from Relay 2? That's a good question. We don't know!"
