The second UPAC colloquium speaker session featured @Jonas_Enander from the University of Amsterdam discussing the question "Is the Universe a Black Hole?". youtube.com/watch?v=0GKH_6Ow…

A special Happy Birthday to my husband #roykerr
90 years old today. A recent photo and a photo from 1963
Hosting international students = a fun day at work.
Today the Leonardo da Vinci study association from @Radboud_Uni in Nijmegen, Netherlands visited the Oskar Klein Centre. About 30 students got to hear about our research, how it is to do move to Sweden and also see the @Stockholm_Uni telescope.

New episode of the space and science podcast #spacetimefika by Swedish physist @Jonas_Enander .
Did I mention that I created the logotyp? Right, I guess I did. Anyway, listen via the link in the post below.
New episode of the podcast Spacetime Fika with Ann C. Thresher from the @eht_ng, where we discuss astronomy, colonialism and responsible telescope siting.

The gorgeous polarized image of Sgr A* is finally out! So so proud of this result, and leading this project alongside @RicarteAstro the last two years has been quite the experience! Look at this beauty!!
Breaking news: the Event Horizon Telescope team unveils strong magnetic fields spiraling at the edge of Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*. This new image suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes.

My first youtube video as science communicator for the OKC is out, have a look 👇
How did galaxies transform the universe after the Big Bang?
Alexandra Le Reste, who did her PhD at the OKC and Astronomy department of @Stockholm_Uni, explains the research she did with the MeerKAT telescope @SKA_Africa.

Preparing a colloquium on science communication and watching this excellent video by @veritasium, highly recommended:

Released a new podcast: Spacetime Fika! Fika means coffee break in Swedish, and for my first podcast coffee break I talked with Salvatore Vitale / @sasomao
about @LIGO and the future of gravitational wave astronomy.

Svenska astronomer har löst gåtan om vad som blev kvar efter supernovan SN 1987A. Filip Jennerholm Hammar har pratat med Stockholmsforskaren Claes Fransson, som är huvudförfattare till den nya studien. popularastronomi.se/2024/02/…
Happy to have been involved behind the scenes in this press release from @Stockholms_univ, which is already getting widespread media attention.
Scientists can finally show that a neutron star formed from our most well-studied supernova, SN 1987A. The breakthrough was made possible thanks to James Webb telescope #JWST New study in @ScienceMagazine from @stockholm_univ @TheOKC @KTHuniversity et al su.se/english/news/james-web…

GRAVITY+ instrument demonstrates its full potential 💪 by making a direct measurement of the mass of a #BlackHole ⚫️ at record distance in the early Universe! 1/

The EHT has released new images of the M87* black hole from observations taken in April 2018. The brightness peak of the ring has shifted by about 30º compared to 2017, consistent with our theoretical understanding of variability from turbulent material around black holes.
ALT Left: the famous 2017 image of the M87* black hole showing a bright ring with peak brightness in the lower left, surrounding a dark region. Right: the newly released image of M87* using observations taken in 2018 with the first participation of the Greenland Telescope, showing a bright ring with peak brightness in the lower right, surrounding a dark region.

Using ESO's #VLT and NTT, among other instruments, astronomers have found direct evidence that #supernovae 💥 give rise to #BlackHoles or neutron stars — a process at which prior clues hinted, but which had never been witnessed in real time until now. 1/
