A recent open-access article published in @paspjournal.bsky.social utilizes the well-studied Star-forming Main Sequence and integrated Kennicutt–Schmidt Relations to characterize star formation in the low surface brightness regime of galaxies. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

I’m pleased to say that my MSc. work done with @pbarmby.bsky.social and J. Young has been accepted for publication and is now up on the arXiv! We study star formation scaling relations in LSB galaxies and try to understand their faint appearance

always a good time when they let you push the button to rotate the dome “just for fun” 📍Elginfield Observatory

Join us at Cronyn Observatory on July 26, 2025, for a free public night!
🔭 Explore our historic dome, enjoy a guided tour, and peer through our telescopes (weather permitting).
❓ Bring your questions for our astronomy team.
No registration needed - just drop by for a unique evening under the stars!

Join us for the next public night to tour the Observatory and gaze through our telescopes (weather permitting).
Hannah Christie will talk about why we need different telescopes, how they work, and the unique cosmic insights they deliver. Admission is free, and no registration is required.

Current Me is quite displeased with Past Me for the number of [INSERT CITATION HERE]’s left in this draft…

Next public NIght: Saturday, May 31 • 8:30–11 PM @ Cronyn Observatory 🌙🔭
Free & open to all—no sign-up needed!
• Telescope views (Moon craters, weather permitting)
• Demos on finding exoplanets & the Universe’s makeup
• Talk: “A Cosmic Tango: Hot Stars in Binary Systems” by Rina Rast

celebrating a happy 1st birthday to this project! @pbarmby.bsky.social who knew there were so many great/terrible “NGS” acronyms out there!

Minor planet 299631 has been named for Kaylie Green, who was a PhD student in our department when she passed away almost 2 years ago. A fitting memorial for someone who practiced and shared astronomy with such passion. www.wgsbn-iau.org/files/Bullet...

feeling incredibly privileged to have spent last evening celebrating the accomplishments of women in Astronomy surrounded some fantastic female astronomers

Join us this Saturday for Women in Astronomy Night! Celebrate the amazing contributions of women in astronomy and spark curiosity in the next generation of scientists! 🚀🔭 With hands-on activities, trivia, and great prizes, it’s an event you won’t want to miss. Hope to see you at Cronyn Observatory!

The stories we tell about science shape, from a young age, how we think about who scientists are and what they do. That means films hold an enormous power for change. Read more on the Columbia University Press blog:
