🚨Today is paper day!!! (and also my b-day 🥳)🚨 https://t.co/nhelILAtjI

This paper is about constraining the timescale required to halt star formation in satellite galaxies of massive clusters at z~1.

Why do we care & what does this tell us about satellite quenching at z~1?

Now we will hear from Morgan Najera discussing AI-based optimization of the OPTICAM instrument. #esdasmeeting

[Karin Sandstrom @karinsandstrom]

Next up Ana Zurita talking about the 2CAN instrument on the 1.5m telescope at San Pedro Martir which will search for and classify Minor Bodies in the Solar System with spectrophotometry #esdasmeeting

[Karin Sandstrom @karinsandstrom]

Next up Jayke Nguyen @AstroJayke on improving background removal in mid-IR direct imaging of exoplanets. #esdasmeeting

[Karin Sandstrom @karinsandstrom]

Next up is Devontae Baxter telling us about the evolution of galaxy protoclusters using the TNG-Cluster simulation - most protocluster observations capture only the inner cores! #esdasmeeting

Having a lot of fun in Ensenada, Mexico for the first ever Ensenada-San Diego Astronomical Society Meeting! #esdasmeeting thanks for the picture @karinsandstrom !!

🌟Exciting Opportunity for Physics & Astronomy Community College Students in San Diego! 🌟

[Tae Baxter @sentientbaryons]

The Computational Astrophysics Research Preparation (CARP) workshop will provide participants with foundational programming skills and relevant mentorship, with the goal of facilitating their transition to a four-year university and preparing them for undergraduate research.

It was an honor to return to Tech as an invited CRA seminar speaker. I had a wonderful time sharing my research, engaging with community, and witnessing how the campus has evolved since I graduated back in 2017. Many thanks to @AstroAhura and the CRA for the invitation! 🤍💙💛

@sentientbaryons Dr. Tae Baxter (new NSF AAPF Fellow at UCSD!) giving the 2nd @ucsdastro colloquium of the quarter on how Galaxies quench their star formation!

[Thomas Henning @15thenning]

I am happy to announce that the Black Scientists and Engineers of @Caltech (BSEC) are hosting the Inaugural Conference for Emerging Black Academics in STEM (#cebas).

Dr. Tracy Johnson is the keynote speaker, and it will take place on @Caltech on May 12th!

[Tae Baxter @sentientbaryons]

@astroarianna @uwastronomy @UW LET’S GOOOOOOO!!!!! I’m so happy for you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[Dr. Lucianne Walkowicz @RocketToLulu]

Read about our upcoming splinter session at #AAS241! The NOLP fellows will be leading a round table discussion on two ideas that we’ve been thinking about a lot in the past year…

@prappleizer I’m interested in presenting. Please let me know if there are anymore open slots.

[Tae Baxter @sentientbaryons]

I gotta say, the fact that “luna” 🌙 and “estrella”⭐️ are two of the most frequently used words by my 14-month old daughter makes me a proud astrodad 🥹

[Tae Baxter @sentientbaryons]

Altogether, the results from our analysis suggest that “starvation” -- or the exhaustion of cold gas in the absence of cosmological accretion -- may be the dominant environmental quenching mechanism at z > 2.

[Tae Baxter @sentientbaryons]

Moreover, if we modify our fiducial model to include pre-processing within the infall region of our clusters, we find that the mass dependence becomes slightly weaker with galaxies quenching between 1.5-1.0 Gyr after infall.
