New paper on the arxiv today! We looked at ram pressure on simulated low-mass galaxies throughout the Local Group. https://t.co/tCvOhPIsB3

From @sahil_hegde: For today's first bite, we sat down for a conversation with @jorgito__moreno, the fourth Mexican astronomer to earn tenure at an American university!

Hey, it’s me!

[Lina Necib @linoush95]

I'm hiring a postdoc in my group (@MITKavli @MIT_Physics ), working on a combination of machine learning, Dark Matter, Gaia, and simulations. The due date is FRIDAY! Please forward to interested candidates! https://t.co/LAx6Knesci

@jorgito__moreno Thank you!!!

[Isaiah Santistevan @IsaiahSantiste2]

Today is paper day! We compared the orbits of satellites of MW-mass galaxies in the FIRE simulations to a static potential model to better understand the uncertainties in the latter.

[Francisco J. Mercado @AstronoMerc_]

I successfully defended yesterday! 🥳
Now that I'm caught up on some much needed sleep, it's time to share a paper that we have out on today's ArXiv: "Hooks & Bends in the Radial Acceleration Relation: Tests for Dark Matter and Challenges for MOND" https://t.co/zzxGaIF24K

[azalee bostroem @astro_az]

I'm super excited to share the earliest FUV spectrum of a Type II supernova! This was a huge feat to discover, classify, and execute a disruptive ToO with @NASAHubble. There are a lot of high ionization metal features that we haven't seen in later spectra. https://t.co/nfVYYM2nVD

@astroarianna @uwastronomy @UW Congratulations!!!!!

[Andrew Wetzel @AndrewWetzel]

Happy to share the first paper form PhD student Megan Bary: "The dark side of FIRE: predicting the population of dark matter subhaloes around Milky Way-mass galaxies", https://t.co/jRbCc1GZ5H (with @astro_jenna). Some key takeaways:

[Jenna Samuel @astro_jenna]

We also find anisotropic density, ram pressure, and quenching around MW hosts in Local Group-like pairs, similar to massive galaxy clusters.
