New paper on galactic bar formation and evolution in the cosmological context is out! 🤩 Tldr; we explore 1) the question “which galaxies form bars?” (spoiler, it has a lot to do with their dark matter content), and 2) how bar properties evolve in time 🧵 arxiv.org/pdf/2406.09453

Paper day! arxiv.org/pdf/2407.13876 We find that the "shell" of young stars in the northeastern SMC formed due to ram pressure stripping as the SMC travelled through 1. the LMC's bowshock and 2. the Milky Way's circumgalactic medium (edited image from @astro_delgad 2019) (1/7)

🔭 The ancient accretion of a dwarf galaxy, and the way that its stars still move together, may give a clear indication of the structure of the Milky Way's dark-matter halo, so say Woudenberg & Helmi in my #arXivoftheweek arxiv.org/abs/2407.21790

My first first-author paper is on ArXiv now! With Dr. Andrew Cooper, we used the DESI Legacy Survey to study the projected density profiles and number counts of globular clusters around 707 nearby galaxies. Check out the results at arxiv.org/abs/2408.07124

The Extragalactic Streams group DARK is hiring postdocs & PhD students! Join us at U. Copenhagen to study galactic dynamics & dark matter. Apply by Nov 1, 2024. Links below: PhD call: employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=1624… Postdoc call: employment.ku.dk/faculty/?show=…

GALAH Data Release 4 is out now!! Nearly 1,000,000 stars observed in the Milky Way.🤩Congrats Sven Buder and the GALAH Survey team. astro3d.org.au/fingerprints-o…

So long and thanks for all the fish! I just observed my last star this morning... #GaiaDPAC and European Space Agency Gaia teams will do their best to make some great data releases from all the data I gathered! #GaiaDR4 in 2026, #GaiaDR5 around the end of the decade. Keep posted for our news

Our Milky Way-mapper ESA Gaia has completed the sky-scanning phase of its mission. Over the last decade, it has made more than three trillion observations of about two billion stars and other objects, revolutionising the view of our home galaxy and cosmic neighbourhood.

The 47th International School for Young Astronomers will take place at the National Taiwan Normal University, in Taipei, from Nov. 17 to Dec. 5, 2025. We invite applications from MSc/PhD in Asian countries. The deadline is July 1, 2025. iau.org/Iau/News/Ann20…
