If you’re at Cool Stars right now, make sure to check out my poster! She’s beautiful and full of fun stats!!🌟
Leiden PhD student Dirk van Dam and I have a paper on "BeyonCE -- Light Curve Modelling Beyond Circular Eclipsers I. Shallot Explorer" 🔭🪐out now on arxiv. arxiv.org/abs/2404.07378 /1
Context. Time-series photometry has given astronomers the tools to study time-dependent astrophysical phenomena, from stellar activity to fast radio bursts and exoplanet transits. Transit events...
I just realized that my projects could’ve been finished a long time ago if I didn’t do “hmm let me check something”. They would’ve been finished with mistakes but finished!!
From the Astrobites collaboration: The genocide in Gaza demands our attention and our action. As astronomers and members of the global scientific community, we cannot ignore the immense suffering and devastation inflicted upon our colleagues. 🔭 astrobites.org/2024/03/27/a...

Them: we regret to inform you… Me: they hate me
- I think I should just give up on this project - Or you can say “postpone indefinitely”
Leaking the terrestrial planet spectra here: ------------------------------
I have one question to my model: why are you doing this?
Clouds can destroy some exoplanet signals, but they also impart signals in phase curves in reflected light. Using five Kepler hot Jupiters, we find: – 2/5 have asymmetric cloud distributions – clouds are compatible with enstatite – atmospheric variability is a mirage 🪐🔭🧪 arxiv.org/abs/2401.13635
Optical phase curves of hot Jupiters can reveal global scattering properties. We implement a Bayesian inference framework for optical phase curves with flux contributions from: reflected light...
The worst thing is that planets and stars (especially HAT-P-11) don’t care about how much I care about them. Like they just continue changing their surfaces and evolving. It is very one-sided relationship!
