Hey #sciart! This is "Punching Above (Normalized)". This piece is a view of the Earth from space through the lens of my plasma physics research. The piece reveals Earth's true intention is to become the next Jupiter. It won 2nd place at the Art of Planetary Science show, open this weekend!

Mapping the Cloud-driven Atmospheric Dynamics and Chemistry of an Isolated Exoplanet Analog with Harmonic Signatures
Mapping the Cloud-driven Atmospheric Dynamics and Chemistry of an Isolated Exoplanet Analog with Harmonic Signatures, Plummer, Michael K., Cocchini, Francis P., Kearns, Peter A., McCarthy, Allison M., Artigau, Γtienne, Cowan, Nicolas B., Akhmetshyn, Roman, Vos, Johanna M., Nasedkin, Evert, Visscher, Channon, Benneke, BjΓΆrn, Doyon, RenΓ©, Metchev, Stanimir A., Rowe, Jason F., SuΓ‘rez, Genaro
Publication day for our paper on the T2.5 brown dwarf/exoplanet analog SIMP0136! We find cloud formation appears to drive upper atmospheric temperature and chemical structure. We also debut a new, novel method for vertical mapping extrasolar atmospheric dynamics.

Outstanding new paper from Evert Nasedkin on the variable, isolated exoplanet analog, T dwarf, SIMP-0136! Time resolved atmospheric retrievals find temperature driving variability and potential auroral signatures (stratospheric temperature inversion)!

The original RE4 marked the shift in the series away from survival horror to action as I recall; I wasnβt a fan of RE5/6 but still really liked RE4

I need to play this; havenβt played RE4 since the PS2 days but loved the RE2 remake

The IAC leads the first scientific results of NIRPS, the new infrared exoplanet hunter
The new infrared spectrograph NIRPS, built with the participation of the Instituto de AstrofΓsica de Canarias (IAC) and installed on the 3.6-metre telescope at ESOβs La Silla Observatory in Chile, has...
It's NIRPS day! Today we are publishing the first results of the new near infrared planet hunter. A high resolution spectrograph with YHJ coverage and capable of measuring radial velocities with a precision better than 1 m/s.
We debut it with the detection (in the NIR) of Proxima b. #exoplanets π

If you could hear in the infrared, what would CO2 sound like? We calculated this recently for a Gen Ed course, and the result is a little eerie.
Results were generated by mapping IR frequency in inverse cm to sound frequency in Hz.

Itβs thought to be a shallower ionic ice layer, perhaps explaining the extreme multi-polarity in Neptuneβs magnetic field.

Neptuneβs magnetic field is thought to be generated in an ionic layer of ice (water, methane and ammonia).

Good morning #aas245! My students Peter Kearns and Francis Cocchini will be presenting a talk on 1D mapping brown dwarf atmospheres with ground-based photometry on Wednesday at 11:20 AM (319.07) in Stars/Cool Dwarfs/Brown Dwarfs II. Hope to see you there!

Glad to meet you! I research brown dwarf and exoplanet atmospheres with a current focus on the sources of variability. I am a new assistant professor at the US Air Force Academy.
