This was a very fun project! I’m happy to see the results published today (and now I can finally share this LBTI image!)
I'm happy to share this exciting result that @StewardAstro PhD student @ggdoubleu played a major role in! WISPIT-2b is one of the few known accreting protoplanets, allowing us to directly study how planets form. Read more in the paper from Close et al.: iopscience.iop.org/article/1…

A team of astronomers from the University of Arizona has discovered a growing planet, WISPIT 2b, outside our solar system. This discovery provides evidence that protoplanets can create gaps found in planet-forming disks. kvoa.com/news/u-of-as-team-o…

I'm very excited to share that my first (and first-author) publication is up on the arXiv today! arxiv.org/abs/2501.16429 We studied a circumbinary brown dwarf companion in the Pleiades with direct imaging taken using both apertures of the Large Bincocular Telescope.

We also fit atmospheric models to photometry of HII 1348B and infer the possible formation channels and dynamical interactions for this triple system.

A big thanks to @AstroWagner and co-authors (incl. @danielapai, @AstroJarron, + others not on Twitter/X) for making this possible!

I'm happy to share this paper by @StewardAstro PhD student @ggdoubleu on an intriguing substellar companion in the Pleiades! Few such objects are known, and understanding the orbit of HII 1348B helps to piece together its method of formation. arxiv.org/abs/2501.16429

A new image released from the Large Binocular Telescope showing Jupiter's moon Io. The sharpest ever taken from a ground based telescope and well beyond what even HST has produced. From Earth Io spans around 1 arc second across. news.berkeley.edu/2024/05/30…

Our undergraduate students conduct leading research across many fields in astronomy, from the study of exoplanets to galaxies forming 13 billion years ago! During UA's undergraduate research week, 12 students presented at our Astronomy Undergrad Research Symposium.

Annual request to please respond with any post-bacc positions in astronomy you know of! Grad admissions was rough this year, and there are lots of awesome undergrads now looking for research positions to help prepare them to apply again.

Are you a foodie that wants to meet new people at #AAS243? I have reservations for six people on Wednesday at 7pm at Herbsaint, one of the best restaurants in Nola. Respond to this tweet if you’d like to join. I did this last year with great success.
