Postdoc @UMDAstronomy | PhD @UCSDPhysics @ucsdastro | study molecular gas & star formation in galaxies

[Yu-Hsuan (Eltha) Teng @elthateng]

My new paper was accepted to ApJ and is now updated on arXiv😎Super excited about getting these results published!

We propose a new CO-to-H2 conversion factor prescription for star-forming galaxies and reveal its systematic impacts on SFE measurements:

@EgboDaniel1 @UMDAstronomy @TheNRAO The ALMA overview talk will be recorded, but not the afternoon tutorial sessions.

[Yu-Hsuan (Eltha) Teng @elthateng]

Happy to share that I am organizing an ALMA data reduction workshop on Oct 29 at @UMDAstronomy, supported by @TheNRAO! Anyone interested in ALMA is welcome to join. Free registration, and lunch provided if sign up by Oct 23!

@AstroCosi Congrats!!

[Cosima Eibensteiner @AstroCosi]

🆕✨My latest paper is on arXiv! We study the molecular gas ratio and how it depends on local conditions in nearby galaxy disks using multi-wavelength observations. New and astonishing MeerKAT HI observations from the PHANGS and MHONGOOSE collaborations.

@AstroCosi @UMDAstronomy Thank you Cosima! My official start date is Oct 1st 😁

[Yu-Hsuan (Eltha) Teng @elthateng]

PhDone!! 🥳 Ready for my next step -- moving to College Park and joining @UMDAstronomy as a postdoc 🙌

[Karin Sandstrom @karinsandstrom]

Congratulations to Dr. @elthateng who gave an excellent PhD defense talk today!! Eltha's results on the CO-to-H2 conversion factor and star formation efficiency are a huge step forward in understanding molecular gas in nearby galaxies. Very proud of her and her work!!

My PhD defense is happening this Thursday (May 30) at 10 AM PT!
Anyone interested is welcome to join in person or on Zoom 🙂

Thesis title: Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Nearby Galaxy Centers
Location: SERF 383 @ucsdastro
(DM me for Zoom link!)

@realMikeBusch Thank you Michael!!

[Yu-Hsuan (Eltha) Teng @elthateng]

@samscibelli @UMDAstronomy Yay! I'm sure there'll be a lot of chances to visit 😁

[Yu-Hsuan (Eltha) Teng @elthateng]

@ucsdastro Thank you @ucsdastro for the warm celebration event afterwards!! ☺️

I'm ready to present my dissertation talk at the AAS Meeting today!!

#AAS243

[Karin Sandstrom @karinsandstrom]

Very proud that two of my students are giving their dissertation talks today: Eltha Teng @elthateng and Ryan Rickards Vaught. Come by R03 at 2:20-2:40 and 2:40-3:00! Very cool @PHANGSteam work from both! #AAS243

[Karin Sandstrom @karinsandstrom]

Very excited about @elthateng’s new paper on star formation efficiency and CO-to-H2 conversion factors in the @PHANGSteam sample! 🙌

[Hao-Wen (Herman) Dong 董皓文 @hermanhwdong]

Second journal paper this year by my partner @elthateng 🤩

Always wanted to do a cool Astro x Music project, any thoughts? 🤔
