Well the time has come. Unfortunately the last 2 years of being on the academic job market in the UK hasn’t been fruitful, partly due to dwindling funding opportunities and partly to my own personal restrictions on location and moving. As a result I’ll be leaving Astronomy in a months time. 🫡

I wrote a research note about the recent publication of the MIRI/LRS spectrum of K2-18b. The authors had claimed the detection of potential signs of life. I find the data to be consistent with a flat line 🔭🧪
Are there Spectral Features in the MIRI/LRS Transmission Spectrum of K2-18b?

It’s April fools day, so why not take a look at our ABSURD (ALMA Band-3 Selection of Ultra-high Redshift Dropouts) galaxy we found in the COSMOS field with a highly constrained redshift of 40

ALMA Band 3 Selection of Ultra-high Redshift Dropouts: The final challenge to ΛCDM
The Lyman-break technique has been used to successfully identify high-redshift candidates in broad-band photometric data in the rest-frame optical and NIR using the dropout technique. We pioneer the a...

Jumping on the Lore bandwagon to introduce myself to the BlueSky peeps. Come distract me from getting my next paper submitted before Christmas 😬
1 like = 1 piece of Emily lore
I told my husband this morning that the thing I was saddest about having deleted from the internet with my Twitter account was the 40-tweet (one/day) countdown I did to his 40th birthday were I told the whole story of our relationship memory by memory.
Anyway, feel free to like this for more lore!

Working on a space-based telescope from an office, it can be hard to appreciate all the infrastructure that’s required behind the scenes. Spending the day at the 76m wide Lovell Radio Telescope and Square Kilometre Array HQ last week helped contextualise just how big Astro projects are today! 🔭

Made this account a year ago but never really kicked off with it. Maybe it’s time for take two! Everything seems much calmer over here 😅
