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! 🔭🧪🎢 What does this mean? Details in thread! (But TL;DR- still not aliens) 🧵 www.sciencenews.org/article/exop...

First radio waves seen from an exoplanet hint at otherworldly auroras
The gas giant Beta Pictoris b, about 63 light-years away, has the mass of 10 Jupiters and a magnetic field thousands of times as strong as Earth’s.

Very sad to hear this. Ralph was the director of API during the first half of my PhD there and he always took such a kind interest in the professional and personal lives of everyone in the institute - our friendly chats whenever we passed in the corridor always brightened my day. He will be missed.

Published in #MNRAS: "Chasing the storm: investigating the application of high-contrast imaging techniques in producing precise exoplanet light curves", Sutlieff et al. This is Fig. 1: for the caption & to read the paper please visit academic.oup.com/mnras/articl... @royalastrosoc.bsky.social
The left-hand and centre panels are examples of the final processed LBT/ALES + dgvAPP360 images produced when the data were median-combined in both time and wavelength. Left: the case where no artificial companions were injected to the data, so only the bright host star HD 1160 A and its bonafide companion HD 1160 B is visible. Centre: similar to the left-hand panel, but three artificial companions have been injected at 90° intervals in position angle from HD 1160 B. All three artificial companions were injected with contrasts of 2.88 x 10^(-3) (6.35 mag) relative to the host star. This image is a composite; for the purposes of the analysis, only one companion was injected at a time. Right: a single frame of data highlighting examples of the apertures (solid lines) and annuli (dashed lines) used to extract photometry and background measurements for the host star (in green) and artificial companions (in blue). The left-hand and centre panels use the same arbitrary logarithmic colour scale, while the right-hand panel uses a different one, and all three panels are aligned to north, where north is up and east is to the left.

Swapped ‘on sky’ in the astronomical sense for ‘on Skye’ in the Scottish sense last week - I’d been meaning to visit this stunningly beautiful place since moving to Edinburgh and it definitely lived up to expectations! So many amazing hikes and things to see (+ we even had surprisingly good weather)
A selfie of me smiling in front of The Storr, a mountain on the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye in Scotland, which has several unique jagged rock formations. The view from the summit of Blà Bheinn, a mountain on the Isle of Skye that has stunning views over a large area of the island including the Black Cuillin ridge, a famous mountain range that gets its name from the dark colour of the gabbro rock it is composed of.A photo of the cliffs at Neist Point, the headland that represents the westernmost point of the Isle of Skye. There is a yellow and white lighthouse on the top of the cliffs with green hills in the foreground. There is a seabird colony on the cliffs themselves, perched high above the sea.A photo of Dun Beag Broch shortly after sunset. Dun Beag Broch is an iron-age broch, largely in ruins today but the walls can still be seen. There are mountains in the distance and the sky is a sunset gradient of blue to orange.

🔭 Undulatus Clouds over Las Campanas Observatory - ©Yuri Beletsky apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap24111...
What's happening with these clouds?  While it may seem that these long and thin clouds are pointing toward the top of a hill, and that maybe a world-famous observatory is located there, only part of that is true. In terms of clouds, the formation is a chance superposition of impressively periodic undulating air currents in Earth's lower atmosphere. Undulatus, a type of Asperitas cloud, form at the peaks where the air is cool enough to cause the condensation of opaque water droplets.  The wide-angle nature of the panorama creates the illusion that the clouds converge over the hill.  In terms of land, there really is a world-famous observatory at the top of that peak: the Carnegie Science's Las Campanas Observatory in the Atacama Desert of Chile.  The two telescope domes visible are the 6.5-meter Magellan Telescopes.  The featured coincidental vista was a surprise but was captured by the phone of a quick-thinking photographer in late September.   Your Sky Surprise: What picture did APOD feature on your birthday?

Hi new followers! Seems like a good time for an #introduction post - I'm Ben, a postdoctoral researcher in astronomy based in Edinburgh. I study the atmospheres & weather of exoplanets (and brown dwarfs, their higher mass cousins) using observations from telescopes both on the ground and in space 🪐🔭
The artwork from the cover of my PhD thesis. A large red gas giant exoplanet can be seen. It has bands of clouds and a large storm, similar to the Great Red Spot on Jupiter, in its atmosphere. Two small blue moons orbit nearby. The background is the dark of space, but not black alone - there are also faint blue swirls. There are swirly, red, cloud-like features in the foreground at the top and bottom, partially obscuring the rest of the image. The artwork was designed by @sophiecavelldesign and is partially inspired by the works of Hokusai and van Gogh.
