☀️ We have a new paper out—work led by @drbjl.bsky.social: We analysed a simulated CME via synthetic (remote-sensing and in-situ) observations, incl. Parker Solar Probe-like encounters close to 10 Rs and WISPR imaging. We reproduced many features found in real data. ApJS link: doi.org/10.3847/1538...

Just witnessed the launch of #PUNCH and #SPHEREx, the rocket emerging from behind the LA skyline and over the ocean here in Orange County 🚀🛰️🛰️ A super cool view, good luck to the two missions! (and congrats @drzowie.bsky.social ☺️)

On the way home from a week in New Orleans for #AMS25, looking forward to visiting again in December for #AGU25!

☀️ Parker Solar Probe sent a beacon home to confirm that it successfully survived the historic flyby (closest approach to the Sun!), so it's now safe to share this 🙃

Happening on Xmas Eve: Parker Solar Probe's first-ever closest approach to the Sun, at a distance of only 9.86 solar radii, is scheduled for ~11:45 UT on Dec 24, 2024. This animation shows the trajectory of Parker's Encounter 22 projected onto the solar equatorial plane ☀️🛰️ #heliophysics #parker

Newest addition to the spacecraft family on my arm: #heliophysics legend and fellow 90s kid SOHO 🛰️ #spacetattoo

Extremely thrilled to have participated in this very cool work led by @nonlinearchris.bsky.social, who is giving an excellent rundown of the results in this video/interview. We used Parker Solar Probe data to find evidence of synchrotron radiation generated at CME-driven shock waves ☀️ #heliophysics

Fun fact: Venus is the third brightest object in the sky (after the Sun and the Moon, duh) if we only consider natural bodies, but gets bumped to fourth position if we include artificial satellites—in that case, the bronze medal goes to the International Space Station (ISS)

Concluded my #AGU24 with a Friday afternoon poster on modelling CME–CME interactions from the solar corona to 1 au ☀️

Kicking off this Bluesky thing with a fresh new paper! We analysed and modelled a CME that impacted four spacecraft spread out between ~0.4 and 1 au from the Sun—we investigated radial evolution and whether measurements at an inner probe improve predictions at an outer one: doi.org/10.1093/mnra...

A coronal mass ejection encountered by four spacecraft within 1 au from the Sun: ensemble modelling of propagation and magnetic structure

ABSTRACT. Understanding and predicting the structure and evolution of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the heliosphere remains one of the most sought-after
