I'm an Astrophysicist. I (try to) blow up stars for a living.

@samayanissanke @ScienceAcad_swe @Dr_CMingarelli @antiqueDB5 @rlunnan @CJHaster So great to see you again!

[Evan O'Connor @evanoc]

@MaxFagin @smartereveryday @planet4589 I agree, and came here to say this. 0.1 degrees at 135 meters puts the object at 77km [~180*135m/(0.1*pi)]. At the angular speed @planet4589 mentioned (0.5 degrees/0.5 second), that is 1300m/s... very curious

@AstroDunham Congrats!

[Evan O'Connor @evanoc]

@sanjanacurtis @OregonState Congrats!! Yay!

How did galaxies transform the universe after the Big Bang?

Alexandra Le Reste, who did her PhD at the OKC and Astronomy department of @Stockholm_Uni, explains the research she did with the MeerKAT telescope @SKA_Africa.

JWST ❤️ OKC

The OKC is happy to share that it will have a strong presence in the forthcoming Cycle 3 program of the James Webb Space Telescope, which will bring a wealth of data that will help improve our understanding of the cosmos.

[Stockholm University @Stockholm_Uni]

Scientists can finally show that a neutron star formed from our most well-studied supernova, SN 1987A. The breakthrough was made possible thanks to James Webb telescope #JWST New study in @ScienceMagazine from @stockholm_univ @TheOKC @KTHuniversity et al https://t.co/tEaND9wvoh

[Oskar Klein Centre @TheOKC]

Congratulations to OKC members Claes Fransson from the Astro Dept at @Stockholm_Uni and Josefin Larsson from @KTHuniversity for this important discovery!

[Evan O'Connor @evanoc]

The @astronomy_su and @TheOKC are incredibly vibrant research environments for astronomy and astrophysics. We also have one of the largest communities of supernovae-based research in Europe covering all aspects from theory to observation.

[Evan O'Connor @evanoc]

I'm looking for a postdoc to work on computational simulations of core-collapse supernovae in Stockholm. If you, or someone you know is interested please apply! deadline January 12 (this Friday) https://t.co/QahXao3ppz

[Evan O'Connor @evanoc]

The project has a broad focus on black hole formation in core-collapse supernovae and next generation computational methods.

[Prof. Carl E. Fields @carlnotsagan]

new paper alert ‼️

have u ever wanted to use the stellar evolution code, MESA, in your class but don’t know where to start or don’t want install it?

then you should try MESA-Web!

paper online now: https://t.co/jymYlpGfaI

w/ @Michael_Zingale + more ✨

[Bruno Giacomazzo 🇺🇦 @BrunoGiacomazzo]

And also this edition of MICRA came to an end. It was a very interesting meeting and I was very happy to meet new and old people. Thanks to @EctTrento in #Trento for hosting this meeting. All talks are available on line

@emilydoesastro The only Astro I’m seeing on Twitter is your offer of codes, I’ll take one!

[Brandon Barker, PhD✨ @AstroBarker]

How is it that time already? I am going to be applying to postdocs this cycle and would love to share my work with y'all, if you'd have me! I spend my time modeling core-collapse supernovae and predicting light curves, GRRMHD code development, and upcoming collapsar work!

[Danny Milisavljevic @astro_dan_mil]

The next Galactic #supernova — which will be a multimessenger treasure trove of neutrinos and gravitational waves (hopefully!) — will likely come from a red supergiant listed somewhere in this new catalog by S. Healy I’m excited to be associated with.
