I've been asking for a database that excludes statistically validated planets for this exact reason. Statistically validated is not the same as confirmed.
K2-399b is NOT a planet. Today, we publish in A&A an unusual paper: a planet demotion. We show that the "confirmed" Saturn planet that was wandering the Neptune desert is actually a hierarchical eclipsing binary. arxiv.org/abs/2408.11732

I hope people truly understand the monument of this. I've watch @That_Astro_Chic start highlighting Black astronomers on her Twitter years ago. She founded @BlackInAstro. The leadership team for @BlackInAstro worked to develop #BlackSpaceWeek formally known as #BlackInAstroWeek
As we celebrate the start of #BlackSpaceWeek, tune in now for a live event from @NMAAHC featuring @NASA_Astronauts Victor Glover, Jessica Watkins, and Yvonne Cagle: youtu.be/oq_OqySiJfQ

Almost all of college football’s major problems are rooted in trying to pretend it’s something more fair, collegiate, and innocent than a billion dollar business. This too.

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

If this isn't your area of expertise, are you able to allow an external mentor guide them? Are you supportive in the choices that they make? How do you handle conflict? These are questions I HIGHLY encourage people looking at doctoral programs ask!

Folks keep saying this like white society doesn’t react violently when Black people achieve things
Years from now, black students admitted to top schools will say Thank you Supreme Court for a decision that removes the perception the only reason I got in is due to my race. You re-established merit as the core criteria to be considered against a standard bar of excellence.

From Guest: When harassers coauthor papers, the community suffers, but nobody is more affected than the Early Career Researchers within those groups. This is how we, the ECRs within the California Planet Search, have tackled the recent authorship debacle. astrobites.org/2023/06/25/ex…

im tired of pretending. @es_em_ell is a top 5 dust astronomer rn and shes not 5. don't @ me.
howdy astro folks. new (dusty) paper on the arxiv this morning! this time concerning dust temperatures. i again put my pretend observer hat on to test how well we can infer dust temps for high-z galaxies. the results may (or may not) surprise you. arxiv.org/abs/2306.07338

From @JunellieG: Is there more to life than oxygen? Today's authors look into what other molecules could be observed with extremely large ground-based telescopes in the search for life on exoplanets! astrobites.org/2023/05/01/mo…

mediocre, attention-starved right-wingers all have a button labeled “put vulnerable people in danger” that they are constantly pushing like a little rat hooked up to a dopamine dispenser. the trick is not to give them NYT articles about it
