Keeping you up-to-date on all of the latest news from the Astrophysics Group @tcddublin

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

Look in the upper arm of this galaxy- you'll see a star appear to blink in and out of existence. That's a supernova! Very recently discovered in m101: the Pinwheel galaxy (which I happened to be shooting when this happened)

[TCD_physics @TCD_physics]

Delighted to congratulate all those receiving offers for #TR063 Physical Sciences @TCD_physics today leading to @tcddublin degrees in Physics, Physics and Astrophysics @tcdastro or Nanoscience @npcamtcd ; and those offered #TR035 Theoretical Physics with @MathsTCD ! @tcdalumni

[Trinity Astrophysics @tcdastro]

Their work revolutionised our understanding of some of the most extreme objects in the universe, magnetars (highly magnetised, rapidly rotating neutron stars). Thought to be the source of some of the most energetic explosions we can see, superluminous supernovae

Congratulations to Victoria M Kaspi, Chryssa Kouveliotou! The Shaw Prize https://t.co/xEMIwOIxab

[Peter T Gallagher @petertgallagher]

With solar and auroral activity picking up, great to get first light from our new very low frequency (VLF) antenna @DIASDunsink (overplotted with data from Birr). Seems to be working! Nice work @tcdastro final year project student @oscar_s_ohara!

[I-LOFAR @LOFARIreland]

This is on tomorrow and we are looking forward to it!

#InspiringGenerations

[Trinity College Dublin @tcddublin]

A group of physicists led by the @QuSysTCD team at Trinity has proposed a #quantum thermometer that could measure the coldest temperatures in the universe (a billion times colder than those in outer space).
