My latest paper is up on arxiv this evening! It’s about a 3-body system (2 stars + 1 warm Jupiter) that has been lots of fun to explore — it’s consistent with both spin-orbit alignment *and* orbit-orbit alignment (everything’s [potentially] aligned?! 🤯) arxiv.org/abs/2212.02542

Interested in giving a galaxy lunch talk at Yale this Spring? Please shoot me an email! mid-to-upper year grad students, postdocs, and faculty/researchers are all welcome; talks are 20-25 min semi-informal presentations about ongoing work in the field of galaxy evolution. 1/2

1/ Cao, Pinsonneault, & van Saders (2023) arxiv.org/abs/2301.07716: If stars experience an effect called core-envelope decoupling---where their envelopes spin down independently of their cores for a time, strong radial shears may drive an alternative dynamo mode. (Submitted, ApJL)

Paper Day!! Now on arXiv: Self-consistent spin, tidal & dynamical equations of motion in REBOUNDx. We walk through equilibrium tide theory, discuss implementation, and benchmark against analytic predictions & independent results. Check it out! 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2303.00006

Check out this great paper from Andrew Sullivan on arxiv today about the timing system of LIGO!! He’s done a fantastic job - this paper represents a significant fraction of my undergraduate work so I’m very glad to see it out there! arxiv.org/abs/2304.01188

I look inside the Earth (kinda), my brother looks inside stars! Congrats on your asteroseismology paper!! 🌌🔅🔆⁉️🌠

It's official — I'm hiring a postdoc to join my research group at Yale University! Particular topics of interest include exoplanet dynamics, stellar spectroscopy, and outer solar system detection. Applications are due December 15th; please spread the word! :) jobregister.aas.org/ad/b02812dd

Grab those glasses — from New Haven's Prospect Street to the ‘path of totality,’ Yalies have this eclipse covered. Find details about the Monday, April 8, 2024 eclipse and a viewing event on Yale's campus here: bit.ly/3xrVnZ4 #Yale #Eclipse #NewHaven #Eclipse2024
