Thanks @pinkastrophysicist.bsky.social for making me the delicious cake and taking this photo of me being equally excited and terrified 5 minutes after submitting my PhD 🥰🎂🧑‍🎓
A photo of me in a green vest holding a pink cake with yellow sprinkles that says "p h done". I have a big smile with a slightly anxious look in my eyes

~Infer gamma-ray burst jet physics with this one weird trick!~
A population of neutron star-black hole mergers might let us discover new physics about GRB jets. 🔭 🧪
Check out my brand new paper with @plasky.bsky.social and Eric Thrane to find out more.

Figure 1 from https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.07035 Schematic explaining the possible fates of an NSBH merger, depending on the binary parameters. We are interested in answering the question: what threshold remnant baryonic mass is required to launch a GRB jet? We consider the remnant mass and orientation of the system as the two requirements to measure a GRB from an NSBH merger.
