Wanna misalign a disc? Who ya gonna call? 👻
Please enjoy the fantastic summary by @richardalexander.bsky.social of our work on IRAS04125, the enigmatic planet-disc-binary misaligned system which we suggest is from a triple stellar system dissolution. Keep your eyes peeled for further work!

New paper, led by the amazing @becastro.bsky.social (with Jeremy Smallwood, Andrew Winter, @astrohoss.bsky.social, and others). In which we try to understand the formation of the crazy-looking young planetary system IRAS04125... 🤔 🔭

Disc-planet misalignment from an unstable triple system: IRAS04125
The IRAS01425+2902 wide binary system was recently reported to have both a young planet and a puzzling geometric arrangement, where the planet and binary both orbit edge-on, but misaligned by 60 deg t...

Can penguins fly? How do aeroplanes work? Does hand washing actually get rid of germs? How do natural water filters work? I was the guest judge for a primary school science competition so now I know! The best school event I've ever participated in, thankyou Whitnash Primary!

Guys if you haven't seen this already CHECK IT OUT. We found that when you take into account that planet forming discs can be curved/warped the dust naturally collects into rings. This has huge implications as @astrohoss.bsky.social brilliantly explains 👇🏻
It's paper day!🔭🧪 Together with @becastro.bsky.social and @jfg-astro.bsky.social , we've obtained what's easily the coolest result in my career so far

WInDI: a Warp-Induced Dust Instability in protoplanetary discs
We identify a new dust instability that occurs in warped discs. The instability is caused by the oscillatory gas motions induced by the warp in the bending wave regime. We first demonstrate the...
