Heading into Christmas Day with 39/50 stars on #AdventOfCode! Will I finish? Absolutely! I learned a ton so far (mostly about path finding algorithms after rage quitting day 16).
There’s a lot I don’t know, but there’s nothing I can’t learn. :D

Showed the kids Fellowship of the Ring, and the next day, kid the older was describing the Balrog to his cousin:
Kid: imagine me, tall as the hills, in fire, and insanely buff
Cousin: that’s a lot to imagine
Kid: imagine me, tall as the hills, in fire, and insanely buff
Cousin: that’s a lot to imagine
a demon with horns is surrounded by a group of people in a dark room .
Alt: A huge horned demon, humanoid but with fiery wings. It roars, revealing an internal inferno. It seems very strong but “insanely buff” was not my first thought.

Prompted by this and a need for distraction I Did Some Math. Turns out most extrasolar planets are quite cauliflower-compatible. A thread, with citations. And laboratory astrophysics. And footnotes.

All right, let me rephrase-- if you are a current or former PhD student in astronomy (or adjacent field) willing to comment on 1-2 statements of purpose for applicants, please let me know!
Is anyone in Astro organizing grad school SoP reviews for applicants this year?

I am excited to share my third paper of this year, and my first exoplanet paper with @thejason.wang, accepted to ApJL. We detected CO and water in the atmosphere of PDS 70 b, a protoplanet around its natal disk using Keck/KPIC. PDS 70 b shows a stellar-like C/O ratio (!). arxiv.org/abs/2411.15117

expect the expected! new paper from our team on the arxiv today: our observations of the directly imaged planet AF Lep b with optical interferometry. we revise the planet's orbit and composition; both indicate unbothered formation within a disk via core accretion.

Hi bluesky, just popping on to let you know that I'm going to be heading to UC Santa Cruz as an NSF AAPF fellow in the fall! It's been absolutely wonderful hanging out with @thejason.wang and co remotely at CIERA, but I'm looking forward to working in-person again. Go banana slugs!
