Huge congratulations to Dr Ben Sutlieff @BenSutlieff on getting his PhD! One very proud advisor right here 🤩 Dr Sutlieff’s thesis was an adventure in direct imaging meets high cadence light curves. Co-advisor @mattkenworthy and I had a lot of fun with Ben on this! @uva_api 1/N

Press release for our new JWST results about GJ1214b! Was so much fun trying to figure out what is going on in the atmosphere of the exoplanet that produced the flattest transmission spectrum seen via HST. physics.ox.ac.uk/news/myster…

This is the story of how the amazing @nzicher and his team used @ESO HARPS to measure the masses of the two young planets transiting AU Mic. Check the paper (arxiv.org/abs/2203.01750) and this 🧵to learn more

Happy to share my recent paper on "Weak Seasonality on Temperate Exoplanets around Low-mass Stars" doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac… via @AAS_Publishing This is open access :). The idea is simple, just one simple equation in Section 2 can tell you the whole story.

The BBC have been making shorts, mostly using old footage - but I did some new filming for this one too. It was fun to think about that time when we explored Pluto with @NewHorizons2015 facebook.com/118883634811868…

What's the weather today ? Probably rainy, this May has been the wettest one on record in Oxford. However, be glad it's raining water, on WASP-76b it might be raining *iron*, among other nice stuff. Today, Joost Wardenier throws his new 3D, high-resolution fancy model at it !
