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.

JWST ❤️ OKC
The OKC is happy to share that it will have a strong presence in the forthcoming Cycle 3 program of the James Webb Space Telescope, which will bring a wealth of data that will help improve our understanding of the cosmos.

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…

Congratulations to OKC members Claes Fransson from the Astro Dept at @Stockholm_Uni and Josefin Larsson from @KTHuniversity for this important discovery!

I'm looking for a postdoc to work on computational simulations of core-collapse supernovae in Stockholm. If you, or someone you know is interested please apply! deadline January 12 (this Friday) su.se/english/about-the-univ…
The project has a broad focus on black hole formation in core-collapse supernovae and next generation computational methods.

The @astronomy_su and @TheOKC are incredibly vibrant research environments for astronomy and astrophysics. We also have one of the largest communities of supernovae-based research in Europe covering all aspects from theory to observation.

new paper alert ‼️
have u ever wanted to use the stellar evolution code, MESA, in your class but don’t know where to start or don’t want install it?
then you should try MESA-Web!
paper online now: arxiv.org/abs/2309.15930
w/ @Michael_Zingale + more ✨

And also this edition of MICRA came to an end. It was a very interesting meeting and I was very happy to meet new and old people. Thanks to @EctTrento in #Trento for hosting this meeting. All talks are available on line

How is it that time already? I am going to be applying to postdocs this cycle and would love to share my work with y'all, if you'd have me! I spend my time modeling core-collapse supernovae and predicting light curves, GRRMHD code development, and upcoming collapsar work!

The next Galactic #supernova — which will be a multimessenger treasure trove of neutrinos and gravitational waves (hopefully!) — will likely come from a red supergiant listed somewhere in this new catalog by S. Healy I’m excited to be associated with.

More Supernova Detections May Be on the Horizon with High-Energy Neutrinos
Certain supernovae might produce high-energy neutrinos, allowing our neutrino detectors to track down exploding stars out to greater distances. By @skyponderer aasnova.org/2023/04/21/more-… @UU_University
