The masses of #GW200105 & #GW200115 reveal a new type of #GravitationalWaves source: our first confirmed detections of #NeutronStar #BlackHole binaries merging! This plot shows the estimated masses of our new sources on the left, in blue and orange https://t.co/eK8Isb82IG

Our paper is out today in Nature Astronomy on a long-theorized but never definitively seen supernova type - an electron capture supernova. We think that explains SN 2018zd, and a supernova seen in 1054 that became the Crab Nebula. https://t.co/oWtThOF6qU

I did a podcast on unidentified aerial phenomena with #AustinForum Director @JayBoisseau. Surprised myself with how much I had to say. Check it out at https://t.co/teoXCd5ROn. A footnote re Navy pilots: they have been operating under explicit instructions to report UAP.

#AllTheStarsRollCall My name is Carl E. Fields and I am a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow @LosAlamosNatLab!

I work on simulations of massive stars + their explosions.✨💥

Check out this simulation of O-shell burning coming to an arXiv near you soon!

Back in my office on campus for the first time since March 2020. #Vaccinated

Paper day! This work was led by a Master's student Oliver Eggenberger Andersen in our department. Congrats on your first first-author paper, the first of many we hope! https://t.co/Eyi2MPjWAg

So last night https://t.co/vgxe3MvD2Y claimed could remove H0 tension because of dust. I’m all for us discovering that dust is really weird, but paper changes H0 by changing Black Body physics for Cepheids, not dust. What has been discovered (something/nothing)? A thread.

Are you or do you know an awesome grad student in cosmology or astroparticle physics? If so, make sure to nominate said awesome grad student by this Friday, May 28, for a CCAPP Price Prize! https://t.co/8PhdxQTsrP

[Astronomy on Tap LAN @AoTLansing]

A reminder that our next virtual event is tonight! We’ll be streaming astronomy live to your internet-enabled devices at 7:30pm EDT. Join in to learn about exoplanets and distant galaxies. You’ll be able to access the live stream here: https://t.co/TN7XNwzup0 #AstroOnTap

🗞️ In today's @LSJNews: One year later, restaurants in the Lansing area are grateful, more nimble and mostly hanging on, but facing a new crises as they try to recover.

(And coming later today: A look at many of these restaurants individually)

@astrophysics Why am I not surprised, neighbor?
