Budget cuts are not "just" a US issue.
The Dutch government has planned budget cuts for over half a billion euros from higher education. This will lead to a disastrous deterioration of the quality of education and research.

And that's why we are striking! 🟥

One day late, but yet another work by Joshiwa van Marrewijk 🚀

Characterizing the statistical properties of noise in interferometric images is a tricky game. And, indeed, many past high-z lines might actually be just false detections of spurious noise features

An amazing piece of work led by (my brother in science) Joshiwa van Marrewijk and Thomas Morris.

Are you building a single-dish telescope (not not talking about you, @atlastdesign.bsky.social) and want to test for mapping and filtering strategies, atmospheric mitigation, etc?

Just ask maria.

See and hear #herakoi in action (JWST alert!)

Tiny, but significant milestone for #herakoi!

Earlier this year, the SAIt invited me and @micginolfi.bsky.social to present our "motion-sensing sonification experiment" at the VITEII workshop.

And today, we got a short proceeding out on #arxiv:
arxiv.org/abs/2412.09152

Being cool, the Spiderweb way 🕸️

Marika Lepore led a re-analysis of the central region of the Spiderweb protocluster at z=2.16, combining Chandra X-ray and ALMA SZ data. And we find evidence for a strongly cooling core.

This is highlighted, for instance, by the marginal evidence for the presence of a filamentary-like structure infalling into XLSSC 122, in turn inducing localized shock ICM heating.

Despite the measured spatial offset between the X-ray and SZ signals is smaller than reported in previous studies, the combination of multi-wavelength data shows that the cluster is experiencing a disturbed dynamical phase, likely due to an ongoing major merger.

[proud scientific older brother mode: on]

Live on arXiv today, the first first-author by Joshiwa van Marrewijk! He used high-res ALMA and ACT data to peer into the pressure structure of XLSCC 122, among the most distant clusters ever observed.

Just me asking “what about the SZ?” to every AGN person in the room

[and learning a lot from all of them]
