Exocomets Workshop

🛰☄️ We’ve got a new #comet mission! Welcome #CometInterceptor! Three spacecraft in one, it will be the first to visit a truly pristine comet or other #interstellar object that is only just starting its journey into the inner Solar System. Full story: https://t.co/hp8GAwaUOk

The @ESA_CHEOPS proposal group at the @exocomets workshop. It was a very fun and productive week learning about #exocomets. ☄️☄️☄️

[Isa Rebollido @Yollevoreloj]

I can’t believe it’s already over! I could easily use a month surrounded by wonderful and brilliant people to learn and share the few things we know about #exocomets. I bet that’s going to change soon. See you in the next @exocomets meeting! ☄️

Dutch pankakes! #exocomets

[Isa Rebollido @Yollevoreloj]

Still can’t believe we put a super nice proposal for @ESA_CHEOPS guest observers program in less than a week! I’m so thankful for the opportunity @exocomets gave us #exocomets adicts to collaborate!! ☄️ :D

Lovely cruise in Leiden as part of an amazing workshop!! Great science and great people #exocomets @exocomets

@Yollevoreloj But more often the impactor is more severely altered than the impacted body 😉

So cool seeing people all around the world trying their best in pronouncing the entire comet name Churyumov-Gerasimenko instead of the short designation #67P👍If you’re still not sure how to pronounce this complicated #Ukrainian name I’ll be happy to help😁

CO is detected in ALMA images and we think the gas is produced by colliding #exocomets. This is because CO is a short lived molecule (photodissociated very quickly) and has to continuously generated to be detected @lucaroundthewo1 informs us.

[Exocomets Workshop @exocomets]

.@paulmolli telling us about how we can find isotopes in #exoplanet atmospheres and how their detection can potentially constrain the accretion and evolution history of planetary atmospheres, where #exocomets may have contributed to high D/H ratios.

[Exocomets Workshop @exocomets]

Flavien Kiefer giving us an introduction on how we detect the compositions of #exocomets.

[Exocomets Workshop @exocomets]

.@FitzsimmonsAlan gives us a great introduction to Solar System #comets and shows us the Sodium tail of Hale Bop. To create this image Alan had to hold the Sodium filter in place during a long exposure as there was no filter holder. 🙈 #effort #exocomets

Wonderful illustrations!

On my way to the #exocomets workshop in Leiden. Excited about the upcoming week of science! @exocomets Also bringing along new poster which summarizes my entire PhD 🎉

[Exocomets Workshop @exocomets]

First poster is up on the website! "Exocomets: Comets under a different Sun?" by Maria Teresa Capria. Check it out at: https://t.co/OJPrIgFf5w #exocomets

[Exocomets Workshop @exocomets]

We're super excited about our lineup of speakers! 👏 We have people from the #exocomet, #SolarSystem, #exoplanet, #disk and #astrobiology communities giving talks at the same workshop! #crossdisciplinary. To see the speakers check out: https://t.co/R7lVRSNgM3

[Exocomets Workshop @exocomets]

We have posted an updated preliminary schedule with loads of exciting talks! https://t.co/eQHrl3B68C #exocomets

[Exocomets Workshop @exocomets]

@molaverdikhani @Paul_A_Wilson There is no remote link set up planned, unfortunately. A large part of the workshop will happen in small working groups each tackling different aspects of a problem. We will make any presentations available online and also aim to write a white paper summarising the workshop.

[Exocomets Workshop @exocomets]

We have our workshop poster! 👏

@frantseva_k Looking forward to welcoming you in Leiden! 🤓
