"This continuous, more than 50-year time series allows us to see things that we never would have noticed from the 10-year snapshots that we were doing before." — Eberly researcher Jason Wright buff.ly/3JA1RWK PSU Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics Penn State Research

Missed the department pizza party PSU Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics so we flew to Vegas for dinner instead #Exo4

Are you at #aas240? Stop by the NOIRLab booth during the afternoon poster session (5:30 Wednesday) where Jason Wright will be on hand to answer all your questions about NEID!

If you are at #aas240 and are or mentor a graduate student aiming to apply for fellowships next year, please find and talk with Jason Wright about CEHW and Penn State! We have a prize fellowship for astronomy, and can host 51 Peg b fellowships.

Come join us studying planets at Penn State!

Gave a talk at Penn State today and had soooo much fun. This place has so many friendly people doing interesting work, and everyone's giving me such insightful feedback! It's like all the best parts of AAS meetings!

Really excited to finally share some cool results I've been working on! In this paper (arxiv.org/abs/2210.00544), we use NEID and NASA_TESS data to look at how p-mode oscillations manifest as a source of correlated noise for precision RV measurements. Some highlights:

It was fun to help on this project! I love that the first night of NEID science observations were used for some cool stellar astrophysics with EPRV implications; there’s something really cool about seeing p-mode oscillations resolved in the time domain. Check out Arvind’s paper!

Astrobiologists, save the date! May 5-7, 2023 at Green Bank Observatory, the 2nd Blumberg Memorial Workshop on Astrobiology: Oxygen in Planetary Biospheres Leaning towards junior researchers with international representation. See more here: greenbankobservatory.org/science/meetin… Astronomy Meetings

Astrobiologists take note: applications to attend the Oxygen in Planetary Biospheres workshop are now open! Space is very limited, and all invitees will have full travel expenses covered. greenbankobservatory.org/astrobio2023/ Deadline is Feb. 1.

New paper led by Arvind Gupta now on arxiv! We use a Fisher information approach to predict success of Earth-finding EPRV surveys and determine the preferred observing strats for different stellar noise sources. Lots of interesting results! (cc #EPRV5 😄) arxiv.org/abs/2303.14571

Congratulations to **Doctor** Arvind Gupta !! NEID PSU Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics

Congratulations to Dr. Macy Huston on their successful thesis defense! They will be joining UB Berkeley Astronomy as a postdoc in Jessica Lu’s group in the fall.

From the poster session: Evan Sneed (UC Riverside grad student) presents photochemical models of Archean-like exoplanet atmospheres. #Sagan2023

New Faculty Job in Astronomy: Assistant Professor at Penn State. Come work in one of the largest and broadest departments in the country! We are a growing, vibrant, and collegial department in a town with a high standard of living. jobregister.aas.org/ad/7faa4f24

Astronomers: Please help us boost this ad! We are casting a wide net here and want a broad pool of applicants. We welcome applicants that would help us cross silos and are open to joint appointments across departments and colleges. Send any questions to Jason Wright.

I’ll be the new Manager for NASA’s Exoplanet Exploration Program NASA Exoplanets in a few weeks!! I’m super excited and a little terrified, but looking forward to being able to “Dare Mighty Things” with my NASA and NASA JPL colleagues to move the exoplanet community forward!

Excited to be hosting Stephen Kane here at Penn State on the day of this big new Nature Astronomy paper!

Just concluded an incredible visit to Penn State. To anyone thinking of applying to grad school there in Geosciences Dept PSU, PSU Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics, or PSU Meteorology and Atmospheric Science, do it! They have incredible programs and diverse faculty that encompass the future of planetary science, exoplanets, and astrobiology.

Paper day! Noah Tuchow has been working on how to calculate not just a planet's location in the Habitable Zone, but the *evolution* of its location within the Zone as its host star evolves. In our Research Notes, he provides code to do this calculation: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384…
