We're elated today to be announcing something awesome on the horizon: a new rich companion magnetic dataset to rotation datasets like TESS and Kepler/K2 with order 10^6 stars in it! Plenty of details to come! #skumanich

Happy 175th, The City University of New York! I am so proud to be a part of the past, present, and future of your amazing students. I hope to be around to celebrate 200th, too! 💙⭐️💙

Now going live! #GaiaDR3 fully kicking off. #GaiaDR3 complements the astronomy and photometry from #GaiaEDR3 with the third velocity component, chemical info, dust maps, and much more.

Caught presenting = asked to have photos taken for my mom lol. But I had a great time and got lots of cool questions! #CoolStars21 #cs21

#tasc6 first poster session coming up later this morning, so let me plug my poster (#14) with Dr. Rocio Kiman, May Gade Pedersen, Sarbani Basu, Bill Chaplin, Viktor Khalack, and Callum Hyder. Image below, and PDF at fys.kuleuven.be/ster/events/co…

My amazing student Lisseth Gonzales Lisseth Gonzales was admitted to the Masters in Astronomy program at Wesleyan University and is starting this fall!!

If you could go back to your early postdoc years, what would you tell yourself? Asking for me.

If you are in Pasadena next week, come to Astro on Tap where I will be talking about star ages!

Traveling to Athens for XMM-Newton Conference: THE X-RAY UNIVERSE 2023 #XRU2023 !

Traveling to RRLA-LARIM-2023 Very excited about this Astronomy Latin American meeting!

Last month, we hosted several Astronomy on Tap events at the Grand Canyon. Here are photos highlighting the activities we produced on the North Rim. We set up next to the North Rim Lodge Saloon, a rustic building with extremely dark skies and amazing views of the canyon. (1/4)

We're partnering with the Institute of Technology of Piedras Negras to host events in Mexico for the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Activities include solar telescopes, eclipse glasses, a star party, and public science presentations in Spanish and English. See you there!

A team led by Prof. Jackie Faherty examined a cold brown dwarf and discovered that it was emitting methane, something that’s never been seen before on a brown dwarf gc.cuny.edu/news/astronome… Jackie Faherty American Museum of Natural History CUNYGC_Astro Dr. Rocio Kiman Dr. Eileen Gonzales

Hi #exoplanets5! If you are interested in estimating precise and model independent radius of FGK and M single stars, come and check out my poster today (Friday) in section B. You can also find the paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2406.00229

We were at the Explore Caltech Science Fair over the weekend, engaging with hundreds of families about astronomy and providing views of the Sun through a couple of solar telescopes. We hope to see you at a future science fair soon!
