Open-source software suite MESA has transformed how researchers model the evolution of stars — and now, the Flatiron Institute is securing its future. Read more: simonsfoundation.org/2025/03/31/fla… #science #astrophysics

ICYMI: #FlatironCCB scientist Henry Mattingly developed the first analytical model for predicting how bacteria spread in obstacle-laden environments, which will help inform strategies for curbing bacterial infections or designing better drug delivery devices. Read more:

"Being a scientist is really like being a detective. You know there’s a mystery that needs to be solved, and it won’t be easy, otherwise someone would have already solved it." — #FlatironCCA research fellow Elena Pinetti in a Q&A with Physics Magazine. Learn more about her work:

Finnegan Keller, Fei Dai & Wenrui Xu Flatiron Institute use an extensive set of damped N-body simulations to model the formation of resonant low-mass exoplanet systems. Decent agreement with data supports a convergent migration interpretation. arxiv.org/abs/2504.12596

I'll be at VSS (visionsciences.org) this year presenting about plenoptic at two different events: a symposium about model-optimized stimuli and a hands-on tutorial! See neurorse.flatironinstitute.org/events/2025/04… for more details!

Wrapping a great week of discussions at the CCA Flatiron Institute workshop on ML in planetary dynamics. Thanks everyone! A few personal takeaways: (1/4)

Filaments thread the cosmos together, yet their properties and evolution remain uncertain. Check out my latest work where we investigate radio signals from dark matter within these cosmic bridges arxiv.org/abs/2504.08025 Flatiron Institute Perimeter Institute Fermilab The University of Chicago Supernova Foundation Mentoring Programme

Gold, uranium and other heavy metals are only made in extreme cosmic environments. Now, #FlatironCCA astronomers have uncovered a new place where these elements are born — the giant flares of supermagnetized stars. simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/29/fla… #science #astronomy

Sabina Sagynbayeva, in work with Will M Farr Flatiron Institute, develops a hierarchical Bayesian model that can exploit multiple exoplanet transit light curves to better map stellar surfaces. (link in replies)

Come check out our #AISTATS2025 poster Sunday Hall A—E 79. Previously we showed how to fit a full cov Gaussian approx via “batch and (score) match.” Here we show how to make the update cheaper using a “patch” step that projects the update to one that is low rank + diagonal.

#FlatironCCA astronomers have discovered a previously unknown birthplace of some of the universe’s rarest elements: a giant flare unleashed by a supermagnetized star. simonsfoundation.org/2025/04/29/fla… #science #astronomy Flatiron Institute

✨Thank you AISTATS Conference for the Best Paper Award!! 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2410.11067 💡 What does VI learn and under what conditions? The answer lies in symmetry. 🤝 Honored to share this award with my colleague Lawrence Saul from Flatiron Institute.

Magnetars, which have been around since before the solar system was created, could have been an early source of precious metals — like gold — on our planet, according to a study published in the Astrophysical Journal. wapo.st/3GGMkrW
