New preprint alert! 🚨https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.07897
We posted a new paper on the arXiv on gas simulations of accreting binary black holes. We find that if their orbits arent perfectly circular, the electromagnetic emission gives a way to measure this deviation! Research led by Stan DeLaurentiis🔭🧪

Razor sharp images in reach when we put radio telescope in space! 🛰 ✨ The Event Horizon Imager concept will be able to make movies and images so sharp that we observe the direct surroundings of black holes with exquisite precision.

Albert Einstein passed away #OTD in 1955, a result of complications from a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. Doctors recommended surgical intervention but Einstein declined. “I have done my share; it is time to go. I will do it elegantly."
Here is his office as he left it. 🧪

And....Event Horizon Telescope 🔭🧪 Campaign 2024 is off to a roaring start with a trigger on the first night! We'll be observing our two favourite supermassive black holes, together with a wide array of other space/ground facilities! Sometimes we see them go bang if we're lucky! 📸 #EHT

I am so incredibly proud to share that NASA awarded me their prestigious Hubble Fellowship! After summer I will move office to Princeton University where I will continue to work on accreting black hole binaries!

Always wanted to generate a black hole image just like the new awesome Event Horizon Telescope image of our galactic centers black hole? RAPTOR could be the code for you! We used RAPTOR to make more than a million realizations of SgrA

Four years ago around this time I was putting on disposable kitchen gloves to ride a citibike over a bridge to get to my girlfriend’s house because we didn’t know if it was a contact virus and riding by box trucks that I later learned were filled with dead bodies. So I’m gonna go with yes.

As an alumnus of this program, as I joined CCA as a pre-doc in 2019, I can only say good things about it. It is an incredible opportunity, and it paved the way to where I am now scientifically. Please apply and share! And feel free to reach out if you have questions. 🔭
Applications are open for the pre-doc program at the CCA!
This program is for current astro grad students to come visit NYC for 5 months and collaborate with a CCA scientist on a research project. I ❤️ this program so much!!

Reminder: "embryo" refers to any point in development from fertilization to 8 weeks development. But those used in IVF are pre-implantation, meaning they are only a few DAYS old. Every news story should be obligated to show what development we are REALLY talking about.
