I am thrilled to share that I was awarded the Rubicon Fellowship by @NWOFunding to conduct independent research at @Smithsonian at @Harvard for two years! After India, the Netherlands, and South Africa, it's time for the US. 🤓🥳 I couldn't be more happy!

Here is a photo of the participants of the #AstroAIworkshop last week at @CenterForAstro. Thanks to all who came to learn with us, and to a great group of keynote and contributed speakers.

@DrEAMoravec It was really great! How did you get the group photo? Could you share it with me?

[Dr. Tirna Deb @DebTirna]

My favourite jellyfish galaxy (the galaxy about which I wrote my very first paper) is Hubble picture of the week!

[HUBBLE @HUBBLE_space]

Our ESA/Hubble Picture of the Week features JO204, a ‘jellyfish galaxy’ 🐙🌌 What gives their dreamy appearance? Let's find out. 🧵👇

[Dr. Tirna Deb @DebTirna]

@AstroDanJC You definitely did a great job! :)

[Dr. Tirna Deb @DebTirna]

Happy to randomly find an article in Astrobites about my recently published paper! Thanks Dan Cornwell :)

First in person presentation since COVID! Glad to give an invited talk at CfA Harvard and meet great folks there. Things seem to be back on track! @AcademicChatter

@AritraNathKundu @peytonlab Congratulations Dr. Aritra! I am so so proud of you 💐

[Aritra Nath Kundu @AritraNathKundu]

It has been 6 years since I joined the @peytonlab. Over these 6 years, I have been fortunate enough to work with some wonderful folks! I have learnt a lot from everyone in the lab and all of this have been instrumental in the successful defense of my work! PhDone!!!

[Dr. Tirna Deb @DebTirna]

We also observe an anti-correlation between HI and CO, hinting at an efficient conversion of HI to H2. We find that both RPS and HI-to-H2 conversion are significant depletion channels for HI gas. HI-to-H2 conversion is more efficient in the disc than in the tail.

[Dr. Tirna Deb @DebTirna]

It's a paper day! We present MeerKAT HI observations of six jellyfish candidate galaxies in the galaxy cluster, A2626. Two of the six galaxies JW100 and JW103, that were identified as JFCGs from B-band images, are confirmed as jellyfish galaxies (JFGs). https://t.co/rwcRDTGqgR

[Dr. Tirna Deb @DebTirna]

We detect HI, Halpha, and CO tails of similar extent in JW100. Comparing the multi-phase velocity channels, we do not detect any HI/CO emission in the northern part of the tail where Halpha is present, possibly due to prolonged interaction between the stripped gas and the ICM.
