The diagram has been updated to include expected gamma-ray emission, and features a better representation of the geometry of the dust torus! Thanks to all who provided comments 😀
Anyone joining threads?
The people I follow on Twitter and Insta are two entirely separate circles, so trying to fill the intersection up some more! You can find me at the same handle 😃

⭐️Come do a PhD with us! ⭐️
We're looking for excited and talented students to work on a range of projects, using #ProSpect and #ProFuse to study black holes and galaxies, using data from @NASAHubble, @ESA_Euclid, @NASAWebb, and plenty of other cutting-edge facilities!
Just a small update to the name 💁🏼♀️ #PhDone
Congrats to *Dr* @_jessthorne for officially passing her PhD! Jess worked on DEVILS & GAMA data, focusing on uncovering the properties of galaxies using multi-wavelength data. Two big highlights were uncovering new AGN populations, and combining optical & radio data in a new way.
The final paper of my PhD has been accepted for publication!
In the paper we explore the benefits of combining traditional FUV-FIR SED fitting with a two component radio continuum model!

First she evolved metallicity in ProSpect.
Then she incorporated AGN.
Now, in the fourth ans final paper of her amazing PhD, @_jessthorne includes radio data by consistently modelling free-free and synchrotron emission!
Check out what she's modelling in galaxies now 👇

Yes, calculating when and where exactly we can watch an eclipse in its full glory can be surprisingly hard.
As Aaron Robotham + @SabineBellstedt (@uwanews) writes, there are complex cycles dictating the movement of the Sun and Moon in our skies.

The most chaotic plot I’ve ever made has been nominated for “Astro Plot of the Week”! Please vote for it 🤩
It is time to vote for the "Astro Plot of the Week" - pick one:
- Plot from Loureiro et al. (arxiv.org/abs/2210.13260)
- Plot from Thorne et al. (arxiv.org/abs/2210.13696)
The poll is below - vote now, and spread the word!
Thanks to my co-authors @aaronrobotham @SabineBellstedt @astrowelshluke @AstroRobino @astroquokka @BenneHolwerda, Steven Phillipps and Malgorzata Siudek! 🤩 5/5

We also explore how the entire star formation history of a galaxy links to its location on the mass-metallicity relation.
This is shown in the most colorful plot of my PhD, but if you want to know more please check out the paper! 4/5
In the paper, we use our metallicity estimates for ~90,000 galaxies to explore the relationship between stellar mass, metallicity, and star formation ⭐️
We find that galaxies with less star formation have higher metallicities at fixed stellar mass. 3/5

Yes! Differences in the shape of a galaxy's SED due to changes in metal content are strong enough to be detected by high-quality panchromatic surveys (like @devilsurvey and #GAMASurvey) 2/5

🌟 New paper day! 🌟

Can galaxy metallicities be measured from only broad-band spectral energy distributions (SEDs)?

Paying PhD students more would go some way to improving their mental health.
ANU say that it’s unethical to stick to the government stipend amount 🤔Any plans to match this at @uwanews? @UWAresearch @ProfChakma @perth_meso_dr @colmer_tim
6/ In summary, if you're not already using @zotero you definitely should think about it!
If you're worried about starting from scratch and abandoning your mammoth .bib file you can easily import that .bib file into Zotero! (you just won't have the pdfs saved in Zotero)
5/ Using the "Better BibTex" extension for Zotero you can change the citation keys, keep your .bib file updated and more!
1
4/ You can export .bib files from Zotero to use in your LaTeX documents! (or link Zotero straight to overleaf!)
You can also make different .bib files for each of your collections of even your whole library!
1
3/ You can also copy a BibTeX formatted entry (from @adsabs for example) and add it to Zotero using the "Import from Clipboard" feature!

2/ using the chrome extension on @arXiv works well to save the pdf and arXiv details, but if the paper is published then you'll have to go back and edit or re-save the paper to get the publication details
