ExoCup2022

Official new home of twitter's definitive exoplanet competition: the #ExoCup.
Invented & run by hosts of "Exocast: the exoplanet podcast" - @exo_cast

[Exocast: The Exoplanet Podcast @exo_cast]

New ep out now! The #exocast team reflect on where their careers & research have led over the past few years as a chance to (re)introduce ourselves to new and regular listeners alike. We hope you’ll appreciate a slightly different format for this show.

For the Exocast #exoplanet #news this month we:

🛰️ Consider the first @NASAWebb transmission spectrum of a small planet.

☀️ Peek at @NASAWebb phase curves of WASP-121b & WASP-43b.

🌋 Ponder serpentinization as a source of energy at hydrothermal vents.

@GeneralGreatnes @StellarPlanet Glad you have enjoyed the show and hope you had fun with the ExoCup!
Let us know if there is anything in 2023 you want @exo_cast to cover 🤓

🚨It's here; the 1st poll of #ExoCup2022!🚨
In Round 1 Group A we have #WASP121b, #TRAPPIST1e, #GJ1132b, & #PSR1257b fighting for two slots in the Round-of-16. hot Jupiter, temperate rock, dense super-earth, or resurrected pulsar world. Which #exoplanet will prevail?

#Proximab is your #ExoCup2022 Champion #exoplanet! 🏆
Our closest neighbour in its temperate orbit around the small cool Proxima Centuri pulled the the stars light & tugged on our heart
It is officially* the greatest exoplanet of 2022👑
Condolences to #WASP39b
What a great final!

cómo no vas a votar por Próxima b

[Tom J Wilson @Onoddil]

I don't wish to be one of "those" guys but given the state of the poll atm... can we just declare exoplanets as a whole the winner, since it's basically going to be a draw 😱? Or will you be drawing straws between the 3 of you @exo_cast to randomly determine who is victorious?

[Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie @mpi_astro]

You are of course free to vote how you please, but may we just say that WASP-39b recently had really cool JWST results, the best characterization of any exoplanet yet? Doesn't that call for celebration? https://t.co/IeElKfd84u

🚨 #ExoCup2022 FINAL! 🚨
Which #exoplanet will be crowned 👑 the champion of 2022 & take the trophy🏆?

#WASP39b a low density giant w/ a jam packed atmosphere of molecules
OR
#Proximab our coolest nearest neighbour

We are gonna need some science with these ones so get sharing!

[Dr Joanna Barstow @DrJoVian]

It has to be #WASP39b this year, without a doubt. Proxima b has had a fair dose of limelight and it probably will again in the future. Let #WASP39b have its moment!

[Anitha Raj @astro_ann]

The final is here!!
Vote for your favorite exoplanet here !! <3

[Jayne Birkby @jaynebirkby]

Vote for #Proximab, the nearest exoplanet! It might even be cozy enough for life, and the extremely large telescopes will help us figure that out very soon!

[Natalie Batalha (@[email protected]) @nbatalha]

Before we know what life is, we must know what life is not. Giant planets are laboratories for studying the formation & evolution processes that produce the diversity of worlds we see. WASP-39b is the crown jewel of giants so far thanks to #JWST. Vote #WASP39b!

[Tansu Daylan @TansuDaylan]

Go WASP-39 b! You deserve it with those beautiful CO2 and SO2 features.
