Excited about the 2024 Summer School for Astrostatistics in Crete is about to start!

Fear. No. Statistic.

A great team work! Big thanks to the brilliant young researchers @Almarino_Sci , Clara Dehman and @kovlakas ! 🚀🔝

The quest for understanding the composition of neutron stars is one of the biggest in modern physics. Three young and cold neutron stars have been discovered, showing how dense matter can cool down extremely rapidly at early ages. @Almarino_Sci et al.: https://t.co/aGusPULCyE

🔥Neutron stars are born hotter than hot, so @ice_csic scientists were surprised to find three young and cool neutron stars 🥶 hiding in the data of @ESA_XMM & @chandraxray.

Their quick-cooling secret changes our understanding of neutron stars 👉 https://t.co/k8dMfZMBr2

Miembros del @ice_csic lideran estudio en @NatureAstronomy donde 3 estrellas de neutrones detectadas por @ESA_XMM y @chandraxray son 10-100 veces más frías que otras de su edad, invalidando ~75% de los modelos de estrellas de neutrones conocidos @csic

[Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC) @ice_csic]

Three neutron stars detected by @ESA_XMM and @chandraxray telescopes are between 10 and 100 times colder than others of their same age, ruling out ~75% of known neutron star models.

Researchers from @ice_csic led study published in @NatureAstronomy.

[Konstantinos K. Kovlakas @kovlakas]

@claudiacicone Totally agree. I am not an observational astrophysicist, but still as a postdoc it is quite hard to find the golden ratio between spending time applying to fellowships, and doing science or other activities that help in advancing my CV to have higher chances in the applications!

[Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC) @ice_csic]

@brunthal @BIGfalke By the way, there are ways to publish something really fast. Should a journal or a refer care about my logistics? Just saying...I wouldn't like to care if the first author of the paper I'm reading is moving out or leaving academia...

[Konstantinos K. Kovlakas @kovlakas]

@brunthal @BIGfalke It's true that sometimes we want to move on fast, but should we sacrifice quality? I would like to think that when I read and use a paper, it has been thoroughly checked by the authors and the referees. Of course, there are referees who will ask for extreme stuff...

[Konstantinos K. Kovlakas @kovlakas]

I’m using Overleaf, the free online collaborative LaTeX editor - it’s awesome and easy to use! https://t.co/nEmM5UARnm

A *new* binary population synthesis code using detailed binary stellar evolution models: POSYDON🔱

The team has been working have on v1.0 for the last few years, so it's great to be sharing the preprint. I've learnt a lot. Code release coming soon
