Very proud of the #jwst 'Signal in the Noise' workshop @lili-alderson.bsky.social and I organised together with @benrackham.bsky.social and Michael Radica (+ @afeinstein20.bsky.social who sadly couldn't join us) 🏰
We'll be sharing lessons learned soon so stay tuned! 🪐

Had a fabulous week at Ringberg for the “Signal in the Noise“ workshop hosted by two brilliant ECRs in the #exoplanet field @eahrer.bsky.social & @lili-alderson.bsky.social. Loads of ideas on how to get the most out of #jwst data & many new collaborations formed across an eager cohort of scientists

If you spend your time working on JWST observations of transiting exoplanets, and want to spend a week in a castle assessing systematics, the impact of stars and more then check out and apply to Signal in the Noise!

Delighted to announce that in September I will be joining Cornell University as a Klarman Fellow, where I will be continuing my research exploring exoplanet atmospheres with JWST and Hubble! 🪐🔭🌟

Excited to share the 1st direct evidence of quartz clouds in the atmosphere of a transiting #exoplanet! With #JWST MIRI we found nanoparticles of quartz, SiO2, causing a spike in the planet's spectrum at 8.6 micron unveiling the Oxygen locked in the clouds

Always happy to see that Hubble is still making cool science happen 😎
Another key aspect we were able to measure thanks to data from the Hubble Space Telescope (@lili_alderson), was that these quartz crystals are just a fraction of a micron across (0.01micron) - in fact 10,000x smaller than width of a hair!
