Four New Planets & Six Direct Imaging Spectra
The #NASAExoArchive has added Kepler-139 f, TOI-3493 b, TOI-6478 b, and 2M1510 b, as well as direct imaging spectra for three planets.

ALT This graphic says "It's New Exoplanet Day! Find all the exoplanets at the NASA Exoplanet Archive. New planets and their data added semi-weekly. exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu." The image has a blue background with a cartoonish star field along the top third, and a drawing of a ringed exoplanet that resembles Jupiter.
If you're at #ukexom and want to come talk to me about a new, very cool😎 (and actually very cool❄️) Neptune-like exoplanet orbiting a thick disk M dwarf, come find me at poster 78! Here's a sneak peak🪐
We went straight from #exoplanets5 to Taylor Swift in Wembley💪🏼 an amazing way to end an already amazing week!

I’ll be at my poster until 13:15, and then in the next break! #exoplanets5

Anyone at #exoplanets5 ever panicked writing a transit proposal re: how long an exposure *should* be? There are 👍/👎 for both longer/shorter exp so it’s fair to be confused… if you want to learn, find me in poster area A (downstairs) all day Thu!
Explanation thread w/ gifs ⬇️
📢Exoplanet observers!🪐 Have you ever wondered which is better: taking lots of short exposures across a transit, or fewer long exposures?
My new (1st-1st-author!) paper explores exactly this & what the best strategy is – because yes, it matters! arxiv.org/abs/2312.08320

If you at #exoplanets5, come check out my poster tomorrow (Thursday) in poster room A!🪐
Presented my first poster at @ukexom2024 which was super exciting! Of course had our group’s mascot Billy the Bison for moral support🦬

✅ Day 3 of @pintofscience
Someone had it out for Jeff last night, as they beat him and 1,548 other players to the top of the national leaderboard. Amazing work!

The Sky at Night repeats tonight at 7pm on BBC4. Tune in to learn about the nail-biting return of OSIRIS-REx and find out what it takes to analyse a piece of an asteroid ⭐ ☄️

At my third, and maybe favourite #UKEXOM, I was very grateful to receive this cute crocheted bison for the student poster prize. Thank you for a wonderful meeting @ukexom2024 (please could you tell me which name bison I have😄)

The poster prizes for #ukexom2024, handmade by our LOC members Daisy and Yaz (+ Maddy, Amalie & Emma). From left to right, we have the bison Bart, Betty, Bonnie and Bruno, and up top we of course have Billy the Bison, the Sun, Stars and Exoplanets' group mascot🦬

A BIG thank you to our fabulous chief bison crocheters Daisy & Yaz (@_daisyastro & @astro_yaz) and their helpers Maddy (@_maddyastro), Amalie & Emma!

Each bison has a name and personality; which one is your favourite? #ukexom2024

Billy is eagerly waiting for the post-coffee break session! Not worked out why our mascot is a bison yet? Go check out the posters downstairs! #ukexom2024
