my last phd thesis paper is now accepted to ApJ and is on the arXiv today! arxiv.org/abs/2510.11021 We simulate the PDS 70 exoplanet system's future using hydrodynamic + n-body simulations involving the disk and the two planets to see how its orbital architecture evolves! 🪐🪐

On The Orbital Evolution of Multiple Wide Super-Jupiters: How Disk Migration and Dispersal Shape the Stability of The PDS 70 System
Direct imaging has revealed exoplanet systems hosting multiple wide-orbit Super-Jupiters, where planet-planet interactions can shape their long-term dynamical evolution. These strong perturbations may...

I’m thrilled to share that I will be an EXP Postdoctoral Fellow in Astrophysics at Caltech 🥹🥹🦫🦫 I will continue working on the direct imaging of exoplanets. So excited I get to continue doing what I love while staying in my beloved Southern California 🫶🪐🔭

Look at those two spiral galaxies. Two Milky Ways. Two hundreds of billions of stars and planets. Two homes. *slams fists onto table* DAMMIT the universe is SO COOL.

two things I keep telling myself that may be helpful: 1. It is perfectly normal to have bad semesters. It’s not about how many times you fall but about how many times you get up 2. Astronomy is hard! Nature is complicated - there’s a reason it’s such an active research field :)

Very excited about this paper led by Ilyse Clark resolving an extragalactic, low metallicity photodissociation region for the first time! 5x more CO-dark H2 column than the comparable Milky Way PDR! arxiv.org/abs/2504.06247

The Resolved Structure of a Low Metallicity Photodissociation Region
Photodissociation Regions (PDRs) are key to understanding the feedback processes that shape interstellar matter in galaxies. One important type of PDR is the interface between HII regions and molecula...

how the phd acknowledgements section is going... she's so timely with her album drops it's actually insane

Dr. Clarissa R. Do Ó @astroclary.bsky.social · 09/03/2025
opted for writing the intro to my thesis, as apparently I can yap indefinitely about exoplanets

Dr. Clarissa R. Do Ó @astroclary.bsky.social · 09/03/2025
ah, yes, the daily question arrives: should I write my thesis intro or should I write my last dissertation paper (chapter)?

Dr. Clarissa R. Do Ó @astroclary.bsky.social · 07/03/2025
feeling accomplished because I found the two major questions my phd thesis is trying to answer in a way that everything seems related. It only took four years and six months, but I guess it's good it happened before my defense?

PDS 70 c. This young protoplanet (which has been directly imaged) is orbiting around a star that still has a disk around it, and is believed to have a little disk of its own - a moon forming disk! :O

actually so sad that Michelle Trachtenberg passed away :( when I was 10 I watched ice princess and that’s what got me into physics and ice skating which are both things I pursued even as an adult…. She unironically inspired me to be where I am now. RIP Michelle

Perhaps a little premature since it's still under review, but I'd like to share a couple results from our preprint now up on the arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2502.05359 🔭 We dive deep into the orbits of the binary brown dwarf companion 🪐 GL229 Ba / Bb newly discovered this fall by Xuan et al. [1/4]
A two-panel figure, showing plausible orbits of the outer companion, then a zoom in (labelled "1000x zoom") to show the inner orbit of the two brown dwarfs.

makes one wonder if any AAPF offers were made at all this year, since broader impacts sections are mandatory (as they should be!)
