I'm very excited to share my and my collaborator's work analyzing the environments and spectra of a population of super-AGB stars we previously identified. The paper came out on the arXiv Wednesday! https://t.co/53vSMirACm Paper thread below, with a quick recap of Paper I!

@astrogrant @AAS_Office Thank you and everyone at AAS for the work you put in to putting off AAS241! It was my first in-person AAS and it was a tremendously positive experience.

[Anna O'Grady @AstrOGrady]

@AstroNoMorePat Thank you Patrick!!

[Anna O'Grady @AstrOGrady]

I'm giving a dissertation talk today at #AAS241! Come by room 614 at 10am to hear my and my collaborators journey trying to identify a peculiar population of stars in the Magellanic Clouds. We were looking for one stellar class and found another! Sometimes science surprises you!

[Anna O'Grady @AstrOGrady]

In Seattle for the first time for #AAS241! Ultra excited to meet so many astronomers and hear about so much amazing science! I'll be giving my dissertation talk at 10.30 on Wednesday, session 320 in room 614!

The paper was accepted by the Astrophysical Journal last week, and we've posted it here: https://t.co/UJtfvo51qo To me, this will always be my "pandemic paper"--I struggled with this for many, MANY more months than I would have under more normal circumstances. But we got there!

[Philip Massey @MassiveStarGuy]

Arguably, the greatest uncertainties in modeling the fate of massive stars is what to assume about the mass-loss rates during the red supergiant (RSG) phase, as most of the mass is lost episodically. @KathrynNeugent and I plus other collaborators tried a different approach.

@PeterDEdmonds Thank you so much Peter!!

[Hubble @NASAHubble]

Coming soon to a screen near you! ⭐

Starting on Monday, join us for two weeks of *stellar* star cluster content! New Hubble images, videos, and more are headed your way.

Get ready to explore #StarrySights from Hubble! Get ready here: https://t.co/pIP3v465l7

Finally the thread art was created by my wonderfully skilled friend @astromadelinew! I asked not for scientific accuracy but instead art that shows how I feel about my work and the stars I study; gleaming red jewels of light on a celestial SMC. The very bright one is HV2112!
