I’m presenting a Het Talk at UNC Research Week! As a recipient of the Phillip and Ruth Hettleman Prizes for Scholarly Achievement, I will present about my research on Young Planets.

The live webinar is limited to UNC (unc.zoom.us/webinar/regi...). The talks will go on YouTube later. 🔭🧪 #exoplanets

So. Farewell
Then
Leap second.

Cause of joy
And agony
For all timekeepers everywhere.

Now we will have
Leap hours instead.

Which will not cause
Any problems whatsoever.
Obviously.

The Stellar-MADE project team (nicolascuello.github.io/Stellar-MADE/) is studying multiple #stellarsystems, and exploring whether the #exoplanets that form within them are different to those that emerge from single stellar systems, as Professor Nicolás Cuello explains.

FUN FACT: In 1990, we knew 0 planets orbiting other stars. By 2025, NASA's count hit over 6,000!

The Milky Way likely has at least one planet per star. The universe really outdid itself.

Pretty neat: using time-resolved spectra of an exoplanet transit, you can get temperatures and composition as a function of planet longitude. Another way to look at the 3D structure of Hot Jupiter atmospheres, thanks to JWST.

PRESS RELEASE:
🪐 Planetary systems come in two families, and the host star decides which one is born.
