Happy to announce our public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation: arxiv.org/abs/2202.06969 flathub.flatironinstitute.org/fire

For #InternationalWomensDay I’d like to celebrate Anna Yu - Sijie (Ana) Yu. She is a brilliant scientist, creative and technically adept researcher, and amazing leader in our research group. Bright future ahead. sijiey3.github.io

arxiv.org/abs/2203.04321 Today is a paper day 5+ years in the making! I'm so proud of these results from my 1st project in grad school! tldr; disk galaxies in the FIRE simulations settle from explodey boys very quick when they decide to get some chill more below in a 🧵/9

Using data from APOGEE, this paper arxiv.org/abs/2203.04980 shows that the high-redshift Milky Way was a hot mess and settled into a disk quite late. Oh, and it seems that massive star clusters played quite a role in the Galactic star formation and chemical enrichment at the time.

Happy Pi Day from UCI Physical Sciences! James Bullock UCI Math UCI ESS UCI Physics & Astro UCI Chemistry

Worm moon rising over Mount Hamilton yesterday captured in this time-lapse video by Elinor Gates. She chose the location at Jollyman Park in Cupertino to have the Shane Telescope and 36" Lick Refractor domes in front of the Moon as it rose. #wormmoon2022 #observatory #cupertino

The kind folks of UC Irvine School of Physical Sciences wouldn’t let this one pass quietly 😂

Nice explanation. Def one of the most common errors we see in science/cosmology communication

Breakthrough in atomic-scale quantum sensing, an ultra sensitive quantum microscope, from UCI Physics & Astro⁩ out today in Science - congratulations to Prof Wilson Ho & Lead author PhD student Likun Wang ⁦UCI Grad Division⁩ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A personal story here. ⁦Blake Bullock⁩ and I are happy to have helped establish this endowment honoring José. We lost him way too soon but hope his legacy can endure through this prize. news.uci.edu/2022/05/11/lat…

10, 9, 8, ...3, 2, 1! Revealing the 1st image of the black hole in the center of our Galaxy by Event Horizon 'Scope! Epic zoom into the dark heart of the Milky Way using radio light. I hope you like it … #OurBlackHole #SgrABlackHole Thx: European Research Council (ERC) BlackHoleCam Radboud University

Fun impromptu lunch with some group members today. After all the remote work, appreciate the in-person randomness so much

I'm gonna miss it a lot!

Can't remember when was the last time I visited Mount Wilson Observatory but it's still cool as ever! Many thanks to Kev Abazajian for organizing this UCI Physics & Astro field trip 🔭

I got myself excited writing the blurb and it ended up kind of long but tbh I am just so psyched to be giving this talk!!

"Hooded by Dean James Bullock"😭😭😭 THANK YOU!!

Michael Boylan-Kolchin, James S. Bullock and Manoj Kaplinghat's 2011 MNRAS article "Too big to fail? The puzzling darkness of massive Milky Way subhaloes" inspirehep.net/literature/891… reaches 1,000 citations. #topcites RAS Journals @MBKplus James Bullock

Right @aussiastronomer -- so I made this.
