@davideiannone.bsky.socialInteresting new project in citizen science, from the CHEOPS space telescope. I'm involved there as a volunteer. There are, also, further interesting variable sources, around targets preselected for potential new exoplanets.

@alexis-space.bsky.socialAnd the follow-up paper, where the authors exploit these groups to study the bursty star formation history of the Orion massive star-forming region, has appeared on arxiv today! 🔭
@drnereide.bsky.socialThis is one of the largest images #JWST has ever put out.
IC 348 is a stellar nursery about 1,000 light-years away in Perseus.
Shot in 2024; public view of a 2025 paper.
The image release is from 2026: esawebb.org/news/weic2619/

@samilamby.bsky.socialI had the pleasure of writing an article for @ca.theconversation.com about some of the cool science Roman will do -- including studying the rotation of tiny stars (aka ultracool dwarfs)! Check it out here:
@alexis-space.bsky.socialThis week I am attending and presenting at Star Formation Fields, a conference organised by @univie.ac.at at Rethymno in Crete! 🔭
A great opportunity to discuss the latest developments on star formation, the interstellar medium and young stellar populations!
@astrokeat.bsky.socialNew paper led by @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social Physics PhD student Andrew Dublin demonstrating five important strategies for characterizing results of fitting grids of asteroseismic models to measurements of white dwarf pulsation periods. ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2026arXi... #stellarastro
@astrokeat.bsky.socialNew paper out from me an my colleague Agnes Bischoff-Kim "A Seismic Technique for Obtaining White Dwarf Fundamental Parameters from Mean Period Spacings and Astrometry"! ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2026arXi... #stellarastro
