New preprint alert! 🚨https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.07897 We posted a new paper on the arXiv on gas simulations of accreting binary black holes. We find that if their orbits arent perfectly circular, the electromagnetic emission gives a way to measure this deviation! Research led by Stan DeLaurentiis🔭🧪

Published in Astronomy and Astrophysics! 🚨 Razor sharp images in reach when we put radio telescope in space! 🛰 ✨ The Event Horizon Imager concept will be able to make movies and images so sharp that we observe the direct surroundings of black holes with exquisite precision. 🔭🧪

Albert Einstein passed away #OTD in 1955, a result of complications from a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. Doctors recommended surgical intervention but Einstein declined. “I have done my share; it is time to go. I will do it elegantly." Here is his office as he left it. 🧪 Image: R. Morse/LIFE

A black and white photo of Einstein’s desk, blackboard, and bookshelves after he passed away. Journals, magazine, and papers are strewn over the desk and shelves. A few of the shelves are organized, but mostly they contain haphazard, listing stacks that seem like they could fall over at any moment. The desk is a beautiful disaster, with papers and journals covering every inch. A pot for tobacco, a small glass jar, and Einstein’s pipe sit near the middle. The dark leather chair is pushed back slightly from the desk. The blackboard is sectioned off into several different regions, each of which contains one or more boxed formulas from whatever Einstein was working on when he fell ill.

And....Event Horizon Telescope 🔭🧪 Campaign 2024 is off to a roaring start with a trigger on the first night! We'll be observing our two favourite supermassive black holes, together with a wide array of other space/ground facilities! Sometimes we see them go bang if we're lucky! 📸 #EHT

I am so incredibly proud to share that NASA awarded me their prestigious Hubble Fellowship! After summer I will move office to Princeton University where I will continue to work on accreting black hole binaries! hubblesite.org/contents/new...

Always wanted to generate a black hole image just like the new awesome Event Horizon Telescope image of our galactic centers black hole? RAPTOR could be the code for you! We used RAPTOR to make more than a million realizations of SgrA Check out the code here: github.com/jordydavelaa... 🔭🧪

Proud to have been a part of this very exciting science result! We measured the magnetic field structure at the event horizon of the black hole in the center of our galaxy! 🔭 🧪 www.simonsfoundation.org/2024/03/27/a...

Four years ago around this time I was putting on disposable kitchen gloves to ride a citibike over a bridge to get to my girlfriend’s house because we didn’t know if it was a contact virus and riding by box trucks that I later learned were filled with dead bodies. So I’m gonna go with yes.

As an alumnus of this program, as I joined CCA as a pre-doc in 2019, I can only say good things about it. It is an incredible opportunity, and it paved the way to where I am now scientifically. Please apply and share! And feel free to reach out if you have questions. 🔭

Booting up a high-resolution GPU-accelerated black hole accretion simulation. And I just can't keep my eyes off all the tiny details and substructures it has... 😱and this is _just_ the initial stage...🔭🧪

Reminder: "embryo" refers to any point in development from fertilization to 8 weeks development. But those used in IVF are pre-implantation, meaning they are only a few DAYS old. Every news story should be obligated to show what development we are REALLY talking about.

grayscale photo of round blastocyst at 5 days which looks like a weirdly scaled discoball and not a teeny weeny bitty baby. Picture reads "THIS is what the Alabama Supreme Court is calling 'an extrauterine child' and 'minor'" Also should be noted this picture is massively blown up because we are talking head of a pin size right now.

Geeking out at the Kennedy Space Center. Seeing to holy grounds of space exploration, that ignited my curiosity in space research when I was a little boy. So incredibly awesome! Dream big folks 🌙 🧪🔭

We published some new cool black hole results! The Event Horizon Telescope measured the black hole in Messier 87 again in 2018 to confirm our observations from the previous year! The ring has a remarkably similar size to our 2017 data, giving us additional confidence that it is a black hole. 🔭🧪

Queens College just forced chairs to fire 26 of my colleagues, two weeks before the semester starts. They've lost health insurance and income, we've lost 79 sections and over 1600 students have lost their classes. Please help us protest! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Hi Folks! Am I too late to the part?? My name is Jordy, and I am astrophysicist at the Center for Computational Astrophysics! I study accreting black holes, in the context of the event horizon telescope (single black holes), or LISA (black hole binaries).
