For 24 years, the Chandra X-ray observatory has unraveled the mysteries of the universe from right here in Massachusetts. With Chandra poised for groundbreaking discoveries into the 2030s, I'm urging @NASA to continue Chandra's missions and enable many more years of discovery.

@jorgito__moreno @MITKavli Thank you for coming and giving such a wonderful talk, Jorge!

Three PhD positions open in the University of Bath Astrophysics group, one on nuclear physics and neutron stars with Dr David Tsang (me), one on GRB afterglow simulations with Dr Hendrik Van Eerten, and one on AGN outlfows with Dr Carolin Villforth.

Congratulations to the #XRISM instrument teams! Resolve (the microcalorimeter) has even better energy resolution than its requirement, and look at that beautiful image from Xtend! Excited for all the AGN science to come :)

.@Dr_Eileen_Meyer and @AdiFoord from UMBC Physics have been working to get the @AXISprobe off the ground (and into space)! Read more here: umbc.edu/stories/x-ray-…

I'm hiring a postdoc in my group (@MITKavli @MIT_Physics ), working on a combination of machine learning, Dark Matter, Gaia, and simulations. The due date is FRIDAY! Please forward to interested candidates! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25332

Searching for the elusive intermediate-mass black holes, @ArcodiaRiccardo found something quite puzzling arxiv.org/abs/2311.16220 (today). @eROSITA_SRG #blackholes

Loved my time at UMD... Great department, great colleagues!

@astrowhit @AkAstronomy @astrocaits @uwdeanwilcots @mgeha @DanielleABerg @sciboinkhobbes @super_knova Aww Kate, thanks! What an honor to be included in this amazing group of scientists! 🤗

My Junior year writing class created a diverse gallery showcasing fantastic esteemed astronomers that is now featured in our #UMassAstronomy lobby… can’t wait to expand this every year and cover the entire wall! #BlackInAstro #QueerinSTEM #WomenInScience #DiversityandInclusion

Awesome article, @christinaeil !

PhysGAAP mentoring applications are now LIVE 🧑‍💻 This is an opportunity to connect with a current grad student mentor to get in-depth guidance about the MIT physics graduate application process and about graduate school. Apply at mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_be…

Join us tomorrow, Nov. 3 at 12 PM Eastern for our monthly AXIS science seminar! This month, our speakers are: Helen Russell: AGN feedback in elliptical galaxies with AXIS & Anna Trindade Falcao: Resolving AGN-host Interactions in Nearby Seyfert Galaxies

Our recent paper on JWST's overmassive black holes at z > 4 was featured on @astrobites by MIT grad student Megan Masterson, in @ErinAstro's fantastic group! Great article! Thank you! :) astrobites.org/2023/10/20/jws…

It works!! #XRISM

Excited to share the first of several positions opening up in my group @GRAPPAinstitute. This one is a postdoc position on multi-messenger astrophysics with the LISA mission. Please share widely & applications from ECRs are welcome, esp. those from underrepresented gps in physics

I am hoping to hire a postdoc to start in the summer or fall, to work on exoplanet or brown dwarf atmospheres! Details here: jobregister.aas.org/ad/c0d2c3a8 Join us here in beautiful Austin!
