Postdoc @NUCIERA of @NorthwesternU | Physics PhD @UCSanDiego | studying ultracool dwarfs and exoplanets

[Dino Chih-Chun Hsu @ChihChunHsu]

Glad that this massive paper is finally published! Thanks Keck and Adam Makarenko for making this beautiful animation to summarize our findings!

A new spin for a decades-old cosmic struggle 🔭

Young giant planets and brown dwarfs are difficult to distinguish. Now, a Northwestern-led team has uncovered a crucial clue that separates the two: how fast they spin. https://t.co/MovjOXlNMM

From mutual stewardship to major discoveries, our week at #AAS247 was about more than results. It was about people, purpose, and collaboration. 🔗https://t.co/7gUJ7YTrcJ

I’m attending the #AAS247 this week in Phoenix. Look forward to catching up with friends and colleagues!

I can validate that working with @philosicist is amazing, and a great opportunity to enjoy sunny San Diego!!

Is scientists' current model of planet formation too simplified? A new study led by CIERA postdoc Dino Hsu (@ChihChunHsu) found that exoplanet PDS 70b's atmosphere differed from that of its natal environment - contrary to what theory predicted https://t.co/Tfq3mzgp2h

Northwestern press and Nature Astronomy research highlights nicely summarize our new paper on a baby planet’s atmosphere

[Giant Magellan Telescope @giantmagellan]

We are pleased to welcome @NorthwesternU as the 9th American institution to invest in the Giant Magellan Telescope. With institutions from the US, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Israel, South Korea, and Taiwan, they join one of the largest public-private partnerships in science advancing construction of one of the world’s most powerful observatories. https://t.co/KhKnadGTM3

[Dino Chih-Chun Hsu @ChihChunHsu]

This is a huge team effort and success by the full KPIC team; I’m very grateful and fortunate to work with them!

[Dino Chih-Chun Hsu @ChihChunHsu]

I am excited to share my third paper of this year, and my first exoplanet paper with @semaphore_P , accepted to ApJL. We detected CO and water in the atmosphere of PDS 70 b using Keck/KPIC. PDS 70 b shows a stellar-like C/O ratio (!). Paper here: https://t.co/ocxxQAJaNI

[Dino Chih-Chun Hsu @ChihChunHsu]

This can be explained as follows: (1) PDS 70 b accretion was dominated by ice and solids rather than gas, or (2) the disk was enriched with carbon after PDS 70 b was formed.

Calling all early Universe observers applying for postdocs: consider applying for the Brinson Prize Fellowship with @NUCIERA as your host institution! We have a great extragalactic group 🌌 and plenty of access to big glass! 🔭 Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions

[Dino Chih-Chun Hsu @ChihChunHsu]

@johannamvos @ERC_Research @tcddublin @ESA_Webb Congratulations Johanna!!

[Dino Chih-Chun Hsu @ChihChunHsu]

@sylvia_bisco @PrincetonPhys That’s awesome news! Congratulations!!

[Dino Chih-Chun Hsu @ChihChunHsu]

@semaphore_P Very fun to listen!

[Jason Wang @semaphore_P]

I did a podcast with Paul Duffell on imaging exoplanets, and now it's out! I had a lot of fun on it, and Paul was a great host, but he has zero social media presence, so I'm spreading the word.
