The same CXO press release regarding my paper on the ultra-compact X-ray Binary 4U 1916-053, this time with a cool video!

#News: What do Albert Einstein, the Global Positioning System (GPS), and a pair of stars 200,000 trillion miles from Earth have in common? The answer: an effect called "gravitational redshift," where light is shifted to redder colors because of gravity: s.si.edu/lmxb20

@eblur27 I was sad about defending and leaving Michigan. Turns out April snow is a great motivator to graduate.

3/3 We also build on the evidence of gravitationally redshifted absorption in these systems. Gravitational redshift helps us estimate the orbital radius of the absorber independent of mass or luminosity, greatly simplifying our central engine constraints.

2/3 We applied this technique on a handful of neutron star ultra-compact X-ray binaries - we are able to set a 60 GM/c^2 upper limit on the central engine of XTE J1710-281.

1/3 - New Paper Day:arxiv.org/abs/2111.04764! We developed a new method for constraining the size of central engines in accreting neutron stars by measuring the velocity width of absorption lines.

Turn on lights in downstairs bathroom, see GIANT spider on the wall 🕷. Me: “sorry, didn’t realize it was occupied” Turn off light, proceed to run away.

Another quickie - there is a reason most dinosaurs are drawn from the side! (As a reminder, I'm open for commissions for this month only!!! DM for details!)
