Paper day! We examined JWST active galaxies at z=4-7 and found a high-z Mbh-M* relation that deviates at >3sigma from the local one. Black holes are 10-100x overmassive compared to their local counterparts. This fact is not due to a selection effect. arxiv.org/abs/2308.12331

The X-ray microcalorimeter, developed by a NASA-GSFC-led team, is an amazingly sensitive device where the energy of an photon is measured by noticing the increase in temperature of the pixel caused by absorbing it! To do this, each camera pixel is cooled to 50 milliKelvin !!!

Excited to share the first of several positions opening up in my group GRAPPA Centre. This one is a postdoc position on multi-messenger astrophysics with the LISA mission. Please share widely & applications from ECRs are welcome, esp. those from underrepresented gps in physics

Congratulations to the #XRISM instrument teams! Resolve (the microcalorimeter) has even better energy resolution than its requirement, and look at that beautiful image from Xtend! Excited for all the AGN science to come :)

For 24 years, the Chandra X-ray observatory has unraveled the mysteries of the universe from right here in Massachusetts. With Chandra poised for groundbreaking discoveries into the 2030s, I'm urging NASA to continue Chandra's missions and enable many more years of discovery.
