Browsing arXiv? Check out my first first-author paper, with @amvanderburg: we reassess the claimed detection of atmospheric variability on exoplanet HAT-P-7b, & find that the apparent variations could instead be caused by supergranulation on the host star. https://t.co/r1XVTcPd1z

HEY go check out my paper which just got published in GRL!!!!!!!! https://t.co/cj6kMmntRU

⚠️ATTENTION EARLY-CAREER EXOPLANET SCIENTISTS⚠️ Registration for ERES IX is now open at https://t.co/LoIowOOISE ! Come join us at Cornell this July!

[Maura Lally @mauralally9]

@SamanthaHasler_ Ah yes, hopefully someone from the audience was able to create a 2d spherical harmonic map of my head

[Maura Lally @mauralally9]

Incase you missed my talk on Monday, here is an artist rendition of what it looked like (next time I present behind a lectern, I will bring my own stepstool)

[Maura Lally @mauralally9]

Good morning #AAS243 !! Excited to see everyone’s talks and posters today… and for the exoplanet fans, be sure to drop by my HD189 eclipse mapping talk :)

[Maura Lally @mauralally9]

I keep seeing cosplayers from the fan expo and thinking that I deeply misunderstood the vibe of #AAS243 and came severely underdressed

[hot librarian lesbian (she/they) @mafflepaffle]

this is gonna sound wild but I actually AM a real scientist some of the time, and I just put my very first first-author paper up on the arxiv!! please go read it and tell me how good it is (it is NOT peer-reviewed yet though so grain of salt etc etc) https://t.co/WFWUiEFrzj

networking with some esteemed colleagues 🐢 at #sagan2023

[Maura Lally @mauralally9]

If you didn’t catch this at Exoclimes, you have another chance this week… track me down at the #Sagan2023 Workshop, or find my poster at the back of the poster room!

[Maura Lally @mauralally9]

Had some great conversations at the first #ExoclimesVI poster session! If you haven’t already, head to poster 21 to read about my eclipse mapping research, and see preliminary results for an 8 micron map of HD189 with MIRI.

A lot of excitement here at @Cornell @CSInst seeing the first JWST exoplanet spectrum!

[Maura Lally @mauralally9]

Tried to shed my “file_test” “file_test2” etc. file naming habit, only to immediately fall into the “file_real” “file_real2” etc. trap

[Carl Sagan Institute @CSInst]

Many past/current Carl Sagan Institute fellows attended the Exoplanets IV conference this past week

Nice of them to decorate the rafters of the poster tent with two big poster tubes #exo4

[Maura Lally @mauralally9]

I have a poster on this result at #exo4—head over to poster 102.403 to check it out & chat with me about some very pesky stellar variability!

[astrobites @astrobites]

From @lili_alderson: HAT-P-7b was one of the first exoplanets with evidence of atmospheric variability, but hold off on your application to be its resident weather forecaster! Today’s paper casts a shadow on the original detection… https://t.co/89Fh0S2jlR

[Fong Group at Northwestern @FongGroup]

A huge congratulations to our former wildcat @mauralally9 for having her 1st first author paper accepted to AJ!
Maura is a 1st year PhD student @CornellAstro, and completed this work during her REU @UTAstronomy working with @amvanderburg. See 🧵for blurb!

[Andrew Vanderburg @amvanderburg]

Congrats to Maura Lally @mauralally9 on her first first-author paper! In it, we study the variability in HAT-P-7 b's atmosphere and show that it may not be as clear as previously believed: https://t.co/zIg89z3MoT
