Got a look at @nasaromantelescope.bsky.social this morning. And it was looking right back.

I don't post a lot, but I am particularly proud of this paper. It's the first observational sample of binary companions to stripped envelope supernovae. And places constraints on the binary evolution physics.

It only took me 10 years to build with HST!

In these turbulent times for science, I can't resist putting out my "Case For Space". It's sometimes a little scary to speak up, but here I go. I hope this doesn't go viral. 😉

Very proud to see @NASARoman ROTAC report on initial 5-year mission plan come out today...and have my name on it! This is the FUTURE of astronomy. #Roman #LongLiveRoman

Incredible night for #TFS25 where Karrie Gilbert gives a @astroontapdc.bsky.social at Guilford Hall Brewery.

Yvette Cendes: Ignore radio at your own peril. #TFS25

Masterson: Incredible Mid-IR spectra of TDEs with JWST! The WISE-selected TDEs sit up with the AGN host-galaxy line strengths. #TFS25
March 12, 2025 at 6:57 PM
Megan Masterson: TDEs prefer post-starburst host galaxies. #TFS25
March 12, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Christos Panagiotou: Deep IR surveys from WISE discovered the closest TDE ever! #TFS25
March 12, 2025 at 6:42 PM
Yuhan Yao: Highly Variable X-Ray emission detected with Swift tells us this can't be a SN, but must be an offset TDE from a wandering black hole. #TFS25
March 12, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Anya Nugent: Host galaxies are key to distinguishing transient types and identifying their progenitors. #TFS25
March 12, 2025 at 4:29 PM
Fed Bianco: AI is used in every stage of survey science! #TFS25
March 12, 2025 at 4:23 PM
Kishalay De: IR Surveys stand to make a big impact in all astrophysics (BOOM!). #TFS25
March 12, 2025 at 3:39 PM
Haojing Yan: PEARLS is finding great transients, too. North Ecliptic Pole the best place because of the CVZ. #TFS25
March 12, 2025 at 2:46 PM
Wenlei Chen: Lensing measurements of SNe Ia can potentially put some important constraints on the Hubble tension, although the small sample and large error bars are not too constraining...yet. #TFS25
March 12, 2025 at 2:39 PM
Justin Pierel: High-z SNe Ia are WEIRD! Look at that red color of SN2023adsy at z=2.90! #TFS25
March 12, 2025 at 2:28 PM
Christa DeCoursey: Supernovae Supernovae everywhere you point with JWST. 1-2 SNe per square arcmin down to 30th mag. #TFS25

Kirsty Taggart: Incredible HST pre-explosion imaging of the Type Ibn SN 2023fyq. #TFS25
March 11, 2025 at 6:57 PM
Arka Sarangi: Dust condensation is when more molecules attach instead of disassociate. But the conditions of the CSM and the explosion make all the difference! #TFS25

Josefin Larsson: 30 years of #HST observations of SN 1987A! #TFS25
