I took this image last night on Sep 19, 2026. Imaged with a 11” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph equipped with a ZWO ASI294MC camera. Exposure time: 50 seconds. Editing done with DS9. Telescope located at the Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

⭐Another new paper! ⭐🔭 Proud Advisor Moment 🤗 Skylar, my PhD student, just had their first PhD paper accepted for publication! They did a fantastic job 😀 We update the orbit of the sub-Neptune pi Men c and find evidence of another planet 👀 Paper here for free: arxiv.org/abs/2607.12088

This new possible detection gives us confidence that the tools and techniques we are developing now can be applied to future Lunar-based radio telescopes (which can study Earth-like planets and whether they are habitable). More about my work on Lunar radio telescopes 👇 bsky.app/profile/astr...

Two caveats: 1. ) The exact source is still unknown. But the observed characteristics point towards planetary auroral emissions 2.) There is still some excess correlated noise in our data. Thus, this is why we classify this as a tentative detection. We need more observations

Dr. Jake Turner 📡🧲🪐 @astrojaket.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Using our new observations, we find evidence of burst radios signals coming from the HD 189733 system! 😀 This adds more evidence that the there is real radio signals coming from the system. The signal also looks like real emissions of Jupiter scaled as if it was an exoplanet

100

Dr. Jake Turner 📡🧲🪐 @astrojaket.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

In our new paper, we analyze beamformed data taken simultaneously with the imaging observations. This dataset allows for an independent verification of the detected burst with a different backend and processing steps. We used the BOREALIS data reduction pipeline that I created in my PhD

Dr. Jake Turner 📡🧲🪐 @astrojaket.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Last summer, we reported on a possible detection from HD 189733 using imaging observations from the NenuFAR radio telescope in France The emission source was uncertain. It could be a statistical fluke. Or it was coming from the star or planet Paper (Zhang et al. 2025): arxiv.org/abs/2506.07912

Dr. Jake Turner 📡🧲🪐 @astrojaket.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

HD 189734 is our 2nd possible radio detection Our 1st possible radio detection was on another hot Jupiter, Tau Boo b. We are in the process of following this up to confirm. Tau Boo Press Release: news.cornell.edu/stories/2020... See video more on that discovery here: 👇 youtu.be/IUhT7bUdCRI?...

Why radio? Observing planetary auroral radio emission is one of the most promising method to detect exoplanetary magnetic fields. 📡🧲 All the magnetized planets in our Solar System emit natural radio waves The same time we see optical aurora (see my pic below), radio emissions are happening

The purpose of this work is to study the magnetic field of the canonical hot Jupiter HD 189733 b. Planets with and without a magnetic field form, behave, and evolve very differently. Thus, we need to know them! For small planets, magnetic fields may be important for habitability.

Tonight, Diana (my PhD student) & I are observing on the Allen Telescope Array! 🔭 We are searching for signs of technology (technosignatures) from a transiting Earth-like planet in the habitable zone 👽📡 Even cooler, the exoplanet has seen Earth transit in the past 👀 @carlsaganinstitute.bsky.social

It depends on what the research goal is. A radio array is better to study exoplanets
