On the arXiv today, the paper presents how we did 80,000 simulated cluster injection & retrievals to derive the first ever (!!!) full selection function for the open cluster census! 🔭☄️ #galactic
The selection function of the Gaia DR3 open cluster census
Open clusters are among the most useful and widespread tracers of Galactic structure. The completeness of the Galactic open cluster census, however, remains poorly understood. For the first time ever,...

If you have an idea to put on our creative wall, a puzzle, a thought, or just want to start a discussion: Grab a pen and bring that to the white board!✍️🖍️

P.S: There is no un-creative person, so that does not count as excuse😉

If we sweep the "unpleasant parts" of science history under the rug, then we're also doing a disservice to the many women who have lost chances at science careers because of past abuse, and we're neglecting a chance to learn something as a society about fixing it in the future.

Connecting different scales of SF and molecular cloud structure poses still many open questions. I propose the HPM (Hierarchical Pasta Model), connecting molecular gas at galactic scales to the smallest scales. Bigger baseline, 37 min of observation time + a redbull are needed. Fig: adapt. Hacar23

exam answer for why we should reject the filament idea: justice for spherical cows
yknow cows used to be spherical. nowadays they are elongated, filamentary. And sometimes they don't even collapse anymore. true astrophysics is dead.

add my purpose was also not to use github
i was born in the wrong century, my purpose was to squint my eyes at the sun and draw poor sketches of its spots in a little notebook but instead im wrangling data and importing scikit-learn

tried to fire my supervisor first (make @akataleptos.bsky.social come to Salzburg), sadly only I got thrown out (I got a lanyard out of it)
unfortunately had to fire my intern* due to funding reasons** today ***

20 minutes in and the physics people are doubting our units and are convinced we should use km as a unit over everything else #sillylittlejournalclub

we love stellar ages in this #sillylittlejournalclub, almost as much as @akataleptos.bsky.social loves gaia
