I'm very happy to have been selected as an Science and Technology Facilities Council Ernest Rutherford Fellow. Grateful for the opportunity to spend the next 5 years uncovering the causes and consequences of the largest explosions in the Universe! University of Southampton Physics & Astronomy Rubin-LSST:UK
Great to see Phil Wiseman awarded an Science and Technology Facilities Council Ernest Rutherford Fellowship! 🎉 Last year Dr Wiseman discovered the largest cosmic explosion ever witnessed. This fellowship will support him to search for more explosions and to understand what causes them.
Really proud of the Dark Energy Survey supernova group with a second batch of papers including full data release (former Duke Physics postdoc Bruno Sánchez et al.), new studies on weak lensing of supernovae (Shah et al.), an inverse distance ladder measurement (Camilleri, Tamara Davis
Next we have the light curves and data release paper led by Bruno Sánchez Bruno Sánchez. All the data are public and we'd love other people to use it! (Image from key paper showing the light curves!) arxiv.org/abs/2406.05046
Photos so good they're worth tweeting. Me having the best time on the centurionrunning South Downs Way 100 Miles, somewhere on Ditchling Beacon (mile 70 or so), preparing for the night shift and a cracking downhill section. Best part was the next checkpoint had soup and coffee.
Look how pretty our Dark Energy Survey supernova light curves are!
