Our next paper is out! We explore different Pop III initial mass functions and star-by-star modeling in galaxy simulations

It’s been almost ten years since I did my first astro research (asteroid modeling) at the SETI REU and I still have my asteroid model sitting in my office!

Incredible talk by @astrotamalasado.bsky.social about the Cenca Bridge program

The program provides research and professional development opportunities to students in Central America and the Caribbean through remote internships #AAS245 cencabridgeastro.weebly.com

Our first Aeos paper is finally on arXiv!! ✨🔭 Read the summary below and the full paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2410.16366

Right outside the clean room containing the pristine asteroid sample! It’s carefully contained to avoid terrestrial contamination #NASASocial #OSIRISREx #ToBennuAndBack 🔭

The carbon content of the Bennu sample is 4.7%, the highest carbon abundance ever measured in a sample returned to Earth. “This sample is LOADED with organics!” #NASASocial #OSIRISREx #ToBennuAndBack 🔭

Day 2 at NASA Johnson and we’re in Mission Control Center with Flight Director Pooja Jesrani! One hour before asteroid sample reveal #NASASocial #OSIRISREx #ToBennuAndBack 🔭

with Jessica Meir, astronaut and Brown alum 🤘

4.7 BILLION year old carbonaceous chondrite meteorite! And the most recent lunar soil core sample from Apollo 17 (until Artemis collects more), a sample from the moon’s surface to 30 cm deep!! #NASASocial #OSIRISREx #ToBennuAndBack

Turns out astronaut rock collection just uses a fancy version of one of these #NASASocial

Moon rover that is being used during training for Artemis - two people LIVED in this for a week in the Arizona desert 🤯 #NASASocial #ToBennuAndBack #OSIRISREx

Viewing the prototypes of the glovebox used by scientists to open the #OSIRISREx canister and process the samples #NASASocial #ToBennuAndBack

day 1 at NASA Johnson, let’s goooo #OSIRISREx #ToBennuAndBack 🔭
