If you're looking to do a PhD (DPhil) in Astrophysics in the city of dreaming spires, check out our projects in @OxfordPhysics! I have one on exoplanet atmospheres, and another with @ClimateBook on technosignatures. Email questions. Apply before Jan 5th! https://t.co/KfustTWSx2

Congrats to Sophia Vaughan on her 1st paper! https://t.co/kCr0GDE3b1 Do you like rainbows? Sophia & her team look at designing NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory to detect rainbows on exoplanets! 🌍🌈 #exorainbow @SophiaRVaughan @OxfordPhysics @lorentzcenter @NASA 🧵1/N:

Huge congratulations to Dr Ben Sutlieff @BenSutlieff on getting his PhD! One very proud advisor right here 🤩 Dr Sutlieff’s thesis was an adventure in direct imaging meets high cadence light curves. Co-advisor @mattkenworthy and I had a lot of fun with Ben on this! @uva_api 1/N

Press release for our new JWST results about GJ1214b! Was so much fun trying to figure out what is going on in the atmosphere of the exoplanet that produced the flattest transmission spectrum seen via HST. https://t.co/dXhtpFJzwK

Who wouldn't want to go on a journey with the awesome @StellarPlanet? @OxoPlanets @OxfordPhysics

[Claire Nichols @TinySpaceMagnet]

Interested in applying for a PhD at @OxUniEarthSci? Curious about planet formation, Earth habitability or tectonics? Mad about magnets?

I'm advertising 4 projects (all available via NERC DTP or STFC departmental funding).

Better late than never! My @ERC_Research team is now on twitter - follow @gprv_oxford for exciting updates on new papers, workshops and seminars

[GPRV Oxford @gprv_oxford]

This is the story of how the amazing @nzicher and his team used @ESO HARPS to measure the masses of the two young planets transiting AU Mic. Check the paper (https://t.co/nxN7ZkBO1x) and this 🧵to learn more

[Xianyu Tan @tntfat]

Happy to share my recent paper on "Weak Seasonality on Temperate Exoplanets around Low-mass Stars" https://t.co/Qvg2OCKnXH via @AAS_Publishing This is open access :). The idea is simple, just one simple equation in Section 2 can tell you the whole story.

Job ad time, please RT... I'm looking for a postdoc to join our awesome @ERC_Research team working to overcome the challenge of stellar activity in radial velocity planet searches https://t.co/kHZQz2cmTM @oxoplanets @OxfordPhysics

[EAS Annual Meeting @EAS_meeting]

Great example of #CitizenScience in astronomy. Visual search for exoplanets by @planethunters TESS presented by Nora Eisner (Univ. Oxford) at #EASLeiden2021. Citizen Science -> Spread the word! https://t.co/AMQKsNxqjS

[Oxford Earth Sciences @OxUniEarthSci]

JOB ALERT: We are looking to appoint an Associate Professor in Geophysics. See further details: https://t.co/ZLhnhKn9Mo

[Colin Wilson @PlanetaryColin]

I'm delighted to share this news about the selection of our mission to Venus!

The BBC have been making shorts, mostly using old footage - but I did some new filming for this one too. It was fun to think about that time when we explored Pluto with @NewHorizons2015 https://t.co/rURB6sYh5w

[Vivien Parmentier @V_Parmentier]

What's the weather today ? Probably rainy, this May has been the wettest one on record in Oxford. However, be glad it's raining water, on WASP-76b it might be raining *iron*, among other nice stuff.
Today, Joost Wardenier throws his new 3D, high-resolution fancy model at it !

[Sarah Rugheimer @SarahRugheimer]

My 5 min TED talk is out!! wooohooo - so excited and so proud of it!! Grateful for the @TEDFellow team for helping make our remote COVID @TEDTalks talks this year a success. https://t.co/mZfN5QzNbf

[Neil Lewis @neiltlewis]

Two exoplanet papers out from @OxfordAOPP today!

Check out https://t.co/jNZvhNRtG6 for Monte Carlo RT applies to WASP-76b from Joost Wardenier et al. (Including @V_Parmentier).

Then, for magma oceans on super earths check out https://t.co/yieNdQ2FVp by @tim_lichtenberg!
