I wanted to be like Rafael, Leonardo and the other two turtles, now I am an Astrophysicist. PhD candidate at National Observatory Athens & Uni. Southampton🤓🕳️
As a part of @BiD4BEStITN program I'm carrying out research on the formation of Super-Massive Black Holes (SMBHs). I study the effects of the (large-scale)environment on the triggering of SMBHs that live at the center of galaxies, a.k.a Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). (1/5)

My paper on MUSE observations of a quasar that was previously discovered using the eROSITA EDR catalog (eFEDS) appeared on the arxiv today https://t.co/gilLpgzOKh along with many other @eROSITA_SRG papers. Enjoy!!
🆕 Webb spots a second lensed supernova in a distant galaxy, which appears warped by the powerful gravity of an intervening galaxy cluster.

Sueña el rey que es rey, Sueña el rico en su riqueza, Sueña Granada en su belleza … Sueña Granada que es investigación y divulgación … Sueña Granada que es ciencia. Y los sueños, sueño son.

Used the opportunity of being away from the office to write fresh code, for the first time in a long while. Made a prototype real-time 3D viewer for cosmological simulations (here showing dark matter around a galaxy, then zooms out to the broader simulated volume).
Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics are timeless: their main strength is in demonstrating how to reason about physics. You may not know all the lectures are completely online:

Bigger and better together!
Hubble and @NASAWebb have both studied Pandora's Cluster in great detail, revealing gravitational lensing – which occurs when a massive object's gravity warps and magnifies the light coming from more distant objects behind it. ⬇️
