So pumped for the 2025A semester!! My proposal was awarded time with the #NEID spectrograph on the WIYN telescope to measure the masses of and confirm 2 possibly 3 exoplanet siblings around a Sun-like star. Thank you to all who helped make this possible! @SESEASU @astro_educator

Amateur planet chasers – including one retired dentist! – teamed up with NASA scientists to measure the most precise physical and orbital parameters to date for an important planet, making other very important predictions possible! Learn more: go.nasa.gov/47wr15o

Kicking off my 61 inch Kuiper telescope remote observing season the next 3 nights to push limits on detecting shallow exoplanet transit depths for validation! Please send good weather vibes. @astro_educator @SESEASU @NASA

So excited to give my first talk at #AAS243 @AAS_Office! I will be discussing combining transit, eclipse, and radial velocity data from multiple sources for updating the ephemeris and orbital parameters of #exoplanet WASP-77 A b. Please join me today Jan10 at 2:40 PM in room 215

Arizona State University School of Earth and Space Exploration (@SESEASU) is having a webinar about our graduate application process on November 6, 2023 from 12-1pm Arizona time. Please join us using this zoom link: asu.zoom.us/s/88025173771
ALT A flyer titled “SESE Graduate Programs Application Webinar. The main body of text on the flyer reads: “Learn about the SESE graduate program and application process from the graduate program director, SESE faculty, and the SESE Graduate Council. Date: Monday, November 6. Time: 12:00pm- 1:00pm Arizona Time. Zoom link: https://asu.zoom.us/s/88025173771”. Images of space, geoscientists using lab equipment and other space-related images are arranged as the background as well as across the bottom of the flyer.
The #undergrads in my research group have dubbed themselves the Eager Beavers, and now they’ve created an awesome logo to match! I may have to name my whole group Eager Beaver Research! Credit to @AstroFredNoguer for the hilariously awesome logo. – at Chicago, IL
So proud of my @asuonline students from the first cohort of our online #exoplanet research class! Their publication led by @Heather_Brynne is officially published, and all 15 undergraduates from the course are now published authors! app.aavso.org/media/jaavso/3… – at Tempe, AZ
