I was invited to write a short article for the @leverhulme.ac.uk newsletter out this month, and excitingly it was chosen to feature on the cover! Read about our work on exoplanet atmospheres and why clouds are kind of great, actually #WorldSpaceWeek πͺπ
The Trustβs latest Newsletter is out now! Read about women and screen culture in Central Asia, the origin and extinction of mammoths, the invisible currency of cobalt and much more: leverhulme.ac.uk/newsletter
Absolutely fantastic show, and nice to meet you all in the pub the following day!
If @science.org is covering it, I guess I should share something here- we have for the first time definitively detected radio emission from a planet around another star! ππ§ͺπ’
What does this mean? Details in thread! (But TL;DR- still not aliens) π§΅
With the press release out, I'm delighted to share our work reporting the discovery of a 3rd planet in the beta Pictoris system! Say hello to beta Pic d - a gas giant with 2.4 times the mass of Jupiter that takes 91 years to orbit its host star, far longer than the 2 known planets in the system πͺπ
