Three researchers from @UFastro and @UFGeology have been selected as @RCSA1 fellows!🥳
They will be lending their expertise to the "Signatures of Life in the Universe" initiative, collaborating on high-risk discovery research on extraterrestrial life.

We spy a few of our 'stellar' researchers from @ufphysics and @UFastro making Carl Sagan proud.🌟
The @NASAWebb telescope is poised to answer the big questions about our universe, and @UF scientists are on the vanguard of these discoveries. Read about six projects pushing the bounds of our knowledge about the cosmos. news.ufl.edu/2022/08/james-w…

Chance et al. 2022(B?) (arxiv.org/abs/2208.05989) is out and it's been a long time coming! We think the radius distribution of small planets is very likely sculpted by atmosphere loss- what if that atmosphere loss was dominated by erosion from giant impacts? #paperday 1/N

New paper: Scientists have detected gas in a circumplanetary disk around an exoplanet in the constellation Ophiuchus, which challenges current assumptions about planetary formation. A 🧵 (1/7)

ALT Image alt text: A scientific image of the star AS 209 and its circumstellar disk. The sun is center and is yellow, with a small disk of orange surrounding it with a small yellow ring inside. There are two purple rings, with a small gap between the orange disk and the first purple ring, and a larger gap between the first purple ring and the second ring. The background is black; in the upper left corner is the text "AS 209" and in the lower left corner is a white sphere.

spt smg = best astro collab in the world. Jared got to show us extremely exciting first images from JWST this morning - couldn’t ask for a better way to close out a great week of science. Special thanks to @FlatironCCA for hosting us! – at Brooklyn, NY

Discovery of new #exoplanet raises questions about planet formation. Fortunately, the researchers @UFastro may not have to wait much longer to get a clearer picture of the planet’s unusual #genesis.

ALT AS 209 is one of several young star systems being studied by the ALMA telescope for clues to planet formation.

GTC presence at #SPIEastro. @mahulo2009 presenting our monitoring service. Not an easy task for a telescope like us.
