Aaaand I’m in Madrid! Now I just have to start the job!

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

Second leg of @esa trip gone! Managed to arrive near #barcelona where I had the privilege to say hello to one of my old friends with a sober background! And huge support from @vanerrina the almighty for this 13 hours drive!

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

Ok so the first leg of the #roadtrip to @esa is over! Got near Bologna so I can say #goodbye to my country in a trample of its cuisine! 🇮🇹

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

So the second iteration of #London is over. What a ride!

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

Coming back to London after the #IMAP meeting at @LASPatCU . Feeling super #energised and looking forward to the launch! Did pretty good at the Pub Trivia too!

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

A productive week working on #shocks at @UArizonaLPL with @HelioJoeG . Amazing group, scenery and vibes ⚡️

[Daniel Verscharen @DVerscharen]

New paper alert! 🚨
In this new #openaccess article 📜 in ApJL, led by Chuanpeng Hou, we link velocity spikes ⚡️ in the solar wind #plasma 🎆 with brightenings 🌟 in the solar corona ☀️. Observations from @ESASolarOrbiter 🛰️ and @dynamics_solar 🛰️.

Aaand that was the final @H2020Serpentine seminar. I met excellent people doing excellent science thanks to this. And what a nice final meeting in sunny #Helsinki!

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

Just surfaced into the pub from the good old @MSSLSpacePlasma basement where the good old @NicolaouGeor treats me with @ESASolarOrbiter electron observations. Excited for the next efforts!

[Peter T Gallagher @petertgallagher]

Boom! The largest solar flare of this solar cycle is currently in progress. An X8.8 from sunspot group 3664 just as it rotates off the disc. Complex solar radio bursts also detected by @LOFARIreland.

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

London!

So it looks like energetic particles do exist!

@MSSLSpacePlasma @DVerscharen @RoyalAstroSoc @NicolaouGeor Missed the presentation but the speaker @NicolaouGeor is fantastic indeed!

[Yannis Zouganelis @SolarBoy_2020]

Meet our new @esascience Research Fellows!

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

Excited for this new adventure ⚡️ ⚡️

[ESA Science @esascience]

We are excited to present the new Research Fellows joining us at @esascience later this year!

🚨🚨MIST Nugget Alert🚨🚨
@dtrottao and team report direct observations of the closest to the Sun interplanetary shock to date.

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

@CHKChen Can’t wait to see you wearing them at the group meeting where i sometimes sneak into ihih

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

….aaand that is 100 shocks for the @ESASolarOrbiter shock list of the @H2020Serpentine project! Nice way for the Sun to close 2023 ☀️.

Stat tuned for the paper looking at the shocks features!

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

Boring Sunday? You could read our latest paper on the funky properties of the closest to the Sun ever recorded shock using @ParkerSunProbe and @ESASolarOrbiter!

Also known as the #shockback project within and beyond the @H2020Serpentine consortium ⚡️ https://t.co/VCeKFjMKoy

[IMAP MAG @IMAPMAG]

Cleaned, packed and ready to go. Our flight model electronics box and sensors are safely stored in their cases, ready to fly to the US on Monday.

[Domenico Trotta @dtrottao]

Interesting #shock meeting today with @DVerscharen and Seon Park, who made me realise once again how little I know about instabilities!
