Astrophysicist studying black holes 🕳 (he/him)

[University of Southampton @unisouthampton]

Could our universe be filled with hidden black holes that we've not spotted before?

Our academics have been working with NASA – and what they found is out of this world.

@NikoSarcevic @borkarabhijeet @PlotAstro Hey @NikoSarcevic, thanks for asking! Are you referring to the chord diagrams? If so, these are showing model selection. Each circle shows the proportion of models that were able to fit the data well as a function of every other model that was able to fit the same data well.

We released today on @arxiv the work we have all been preparing for a while now, to showcase the amazing science @HEXP_Future will accomplish. Shout out to all team members for this tremendous work! I had the pleasure to lead the paper on coronal physics https://t.co/HUM4zodnfB

It's Paper Day! 🎉
In a series of articles out on @arxiv today, we showcase all the exciting X-ray science enabled by @HEXP_Future 🧵

HEX-Perts at the X-ray Universe @ESA_XMM conference in Athens #XRU2023 @HEXP_Future

[Elias Kammoun @EliasKammoun]

#paperday !! It's a paper led by @picdumehdy, based on the work he did for his MS thesis, to study the complex X-ray variability in NGC 7582 using @ESA_XMM and @NuSTAR_Science @NASAUniverse. Here's a thread 🧵⤵️1/7

@HEXP_Future @lmallick_astro Superb work by @RyanPfeifle on how hard X-rays can study the environments close to interacting AGN in detail with HEX-P!

How long do stars actually live? How do we detect supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies?

Roman's primary and secondary mirrors have been integrated together at @L3HarrisTech to create the Forward Optical Assembly! In honor of #Groundhogday, our partners have tested the optics over and over again to make sure they are just right!
