FAME |

Great to see @unisouthampton Associate Prof. @poshakgandhi giving insight into the #Hubble #telescope in this great read: https://t.co/worX99jO71

Also, #HappyBirthdayHubble ...a bit late, but by the time the message reaches you it'll be late anyway 🤔

[Soton Supernovae @UoS_SNe]

Congrats to @COSMO_83 for showing that superluminous supernovae (one of our favourite types in Southampton!) can be used as an independent test of cosmological models. Because they're so bright, you can use them at higher redshift than 'normal' SNe! https://t.co/8KC0ZtpFMp

[Seb Hoenig @SebHoenig]

Open permanent position at the Lecturer/Assistant Professor level @sotonastro. Come work with us! https://t.co/58lDCWlvHj

Happy #halloween2019 from everyone at @sotonastro: Protecting humanity from #blackholes; it's what we do best.

[Adam Hill @AstroAdamH]

#VCawards2019 finalists at @unisouthampton. It has been a privilege to build social impact with #DataScience to deliver #Data4Good, it's been a wonderful partnership with @DataKindUK

[Phil Wiseman @astro_pwise]

Privileged to be nominated along with @AstroAdamH, @AstroChildress and Christian Knigge for the #vcawards2019 Southampton University Vice-Chancellor’s award for Research Impact for our @DataKindUK #DataDive last year featuring @ParkinsonsUK and @Shelter.

And now the main event by @boorm .

[Poshak Gandhi @poshakgandhi]

2.6 eV spectral resolution demonstrated for @AthenaXIFU!!! That's only ~120 km/s for the iron line studies and about 15x better than current. Reviewed by Paul Nandra and thanks to the efforts of Didier Barret. Can we please fast forward time to c.2031? @AthenaXobs

[Physics & Astronomy @AstroPhysSoton]

Super excited to see our very own Dr Francesco Shankar opening @WinSciCentre Space Lecture series! 👇

[NRF|SAAO @SAAO]

An international team of astrophysicists from @AstroPhysSoton, @OxfordAstro and @SAAO have detected a very hot, dense outflowing wind close to a black hole 25,000 light-years from Earth using the 10m @SALT_Astro telescope! Read more:

Some beautiful spectra for your amusement, and some weird objects too.

[Physics & Astronomy @AstroPhysSoton]

At last weeks' graduation, something rather special happened...

Dr. Peter Boorman (@boorm) received his PhD and was joined in celebration by his mum, dad and brother, who are all @unisouthampton alumni!

We had to grab a snap! Congratulations again Peter! 🥳

[Adam Hill @AstroAdamH]

A pleasant surprise to find on a Friday; the @AstroPhysSoton #Data4Good team has been selected as a finalist for the @uni_southampton #VCawards2019 for Research Impact for our charity data science work in partnership with @DataKindUK. Thanks to the team and all the volunteers!

[PESSTO @PESSTOsurvey]

But whilst we’re not on sky, let’s introduce the second observer for our current subrun! It’s @c_r_angus from the @UoS_SNe at @sotonastro!

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

A few missing pics from yesterday's poster session... @boorm Sourabh Nampalliwar, Corbin Taylor, Dom Walton. Thanks for all the excellent contributions.

[Peter Boorman @boorm]

Beautiful setting for the #xcal2019 excursion to @EH_Stonehenge

[XCalibur2019 @XCal2019]

Peter Boorman (@boorm) et al. present how XRISM (due to launch in 2021) will be able to probe AGN obscuration in unprecedented ways. Stay tuned for the poster competition information tomorrow!
