I spent this week at the Hi-Res In The Desert: High-Resolution Spectroscopy for Exoplanet Atmospheres Workshop at Arizona State University. I presented a poster on my research I did this summer at Michigan State University on a young exoplanet with Gemini-S/IGRINS observations.

Another wonderful article about our RZ Psc work!

This! Here's a slide pulled from my class lecture notes this semester. Comets have two clear tails - one from dust and one from ions. They point in different directions because one feels the solar wind while the other feels radiation pressure.

A slide from a lecture showing the difference between the dust and ion tails of comets, which are affected by radiation pressure and the solar wind, respectively

So excited that our paper is finally out! We analyzed archival TESS observations of RZ Psc and detected 24 transiting exocomets. And, Adalyn is an amazing undergrad applying for grad school this year!

Gibson et al. “TESS Discovers a Second System of Transiting Exocomets in the Extreme Debris Disk of RZ Psc” showing 24 exocomet transits and the existence of a broken power law for the sizes of these exocomets, unlike Beta Pic’s exocomet distribution #exoplanet #astrodon #astrosci

TESS light curve of RZ Psc, showing several dog tooth-like dips indicating exocomet transits.

Plot os radius of exocomet versus cumulative number count - the RZ Psc shows a distinct change in slope at 2.5km, whilst the Beta Pic distribution from des Etangs shows a single straight power law.

Maybe “walking” is a better term.

This summer I have been working with Prof @afeinstein20.bsky.social at MSU, I presented my research via a poster at the Mid-SURE undergraduate symposium. I have loved Michigan’s “hiking” and lakes and the entire research group - pictured here.

I successfully defended my undergraduate honors thesis and was awarded the degree designation Magna cum laude in Astronomy–Astrophysics. I’m incredibly grateful to my advisors, Dr. Adam Kowalski and Dr. Adina Feinstein, for their exceptional mentorship and support.

I presented my iposter today at #AAS245 thank you to everyone who came to support me, I will be doing the final round of the Chambliss poster competition tomorrow! I presented on my research using the Hubble Space Telescope to characterize the stellar flare atmosphere of AU Mic.

This talk was amazing! Dr. Charbonneau did a great job at handling the technical problems!

Had a great first day at #AAS245 I will be presenting a poster tomorrow (Monday) at 5:30 - 6:30 pm, terminal #105! I will be presenting my research on stellar flares with HST.
