Our work "A renewable and socially accepted energy system for astronomical telescopes" led by Guillermo Valenzuela-Venegas at @UiO_ResearchMN during the #AtLAST design study has been published by @naturesustainab @HorizonEU nature.com/articles/s4189…

#AtLAST is more than just an idea. Check out our deliverables and tell us *your* ideas. 👇👇

Over the past years, a team of ~100 astronomers from around the world worked to hone the science cases for #AtLAST.  The result is a compendium of eight white papers and an overview report. Read more about them and find all the relevant links here: atlast.uio.no/news-and-event…

VPHAS+ r-band HiPS is now available at alasky.cds.unistra.fr/VPHAS/CDS_P_VP… 4 filters of VPHAS+ are now published as HiPS. You can visualize them, combine them. Here is a RGB composite from H-alpha, i and r bands.

@renaudflo Exactement !

The most glorious celebration of French culture, history, diversity, and excellence, with the immense joy and pride to share our heritage and to welcome the World to the City of Light. Wow, just wow.

Finally watched the #OpeningCeremony I wondered why the torch went back on the Seine. And then... THEN! This unforgettable image of the cauldron! An obvious reference to the pioneers of aviation. Until I realized it went back to the exact same place, 241 years later!

Quand l'Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace accompagne le 1er décollage d'Ariane 6 🚀, ça donne forcément un plan caméra exceptionnel. Admirez ! 🎵 @AndrewPrahlow / @Mobius_Games 📹 @AstroPolo_Space @CNES @ArianeGroup @Armee_de_lair @ESA_fr @Thom_astro

Now that the news is sinking in. A little more about @HorizonEU project AtLAST2: start in 2025, 20 partners from 3 continents, strengthened global cooperation, prototyping and testing on SRT and APEX of new telescope and renewable energy system technologies

We just received the news that the #EU has approved our new grant proposal for the post-design study phase of #AtLAST 🍾🥳 We are extremely excited for the next phase! It’s amazing to receive this news while many of us are meeting at the #EAS2024Padova

@KarinaVoggel @MatBethermin Allez @MatBethermin !

Tomorrow @MatBethermin takes on his biggest athletic challenge so far: his first full Ironman! Even just to cheer and support this will be a tiring thing. It will take him probably 12h to finish the 3.8km swim, 180km cycling and the 42km of the full marathon.

@caccrd29 Félicitations !

Le chapitre Master se clôt, validé a 15.775 ca fait putain de plaisir Mais un nouveau chapitre s'ouvrira dès la fin de l'été : J'ai obtenu ma place en thèse !!!! Les 3 prochaines années de ma vies sont décidées 😭 Tellement hâte d'y être Jamais ai été aussi content de moi 🤧

Hurray! Congratulations @AmelieSaintonge and congratulations @MPIfR_Bonn for choosing such a great person as director

Congratulations to @VioleIsabelle for a successful PhD defense! Dr Viole’s PhD, funded by the #Horizon2020 #AtLAST design study, is the first study of a renewable energy system for a large astronomical infrastructure. Isabelle has contributed enormously to the AtLAST project

#PaperDay My colleague Gina Panopoulou led a study of the Radcliffe Wave's magnetic field using starlight polarization and invited me to give my two cents on its comparison with the observations from Planck ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024arXiv2…

The #AtLAST design study is drawing to an end. More than three years of work encapsulated into a four-day conference, summarised in a nice, all-inclusive news item: atlast.uio.no/news-and-event… And yet, a lot more is still to come. The future is bright, and not only in the submm 😁

@CJRClarkEsquire Frame these pictures !

This very moment, 1.5 million km away, the James Webb Space Telescope is doing science for me! And I got to sit in the control room as it happened, whilst we were in direct contact with the telescope! I just about managed to avoid pressing the "self destruct" button.

We wrap up the “#AtLAST Design Study: results, science, and next steps” conference, held at Johannes University Mainz from 21 to 24 May with something of a melancholic feeling but also with excitement about the future atlast.uio.no/news-and-event…
