@MSU_astro Thanks for having me! I had a great time meeting everyone.

Today we have @Therbaer giving a talk on, "Using Transiting Brown Dwarfs to Test Substellar Evolutionary Models"!
English

@vstimac Yes I'm available to answer some questions about the paper 🌌
English

Also cheers to @Therbaer!!!! We see you!!!✨💫🔭 #BlackInAstro

@breadshifted Oh also, I have to say, my favorite part of the PC build was when we magnetized the screwdriver. It was kind of magical, really.

Theron is not only an all-around awesome person but also helped me build my computer (he did all the hard parts)! <3 Congratulations Theron (who demonstrates his higher being by not being on twitter)!

When he’s not searching the night sky for rare objects, 27-year-old Theron Carmichael spends his time building computers from scratch and running marathons. Theron will graduate from @Harvard next month with a PhD in astrophysics.

@AstroThayne I wonder why that is. I'd take a "brown dwarf" designation if they could list them like that.

@Therbaer exoplanet.eu lists a lot of things in the 50 Mj range as exoplanets; 'Oumuamua is also listed as a directly imaged planet

Hey, that's me 🌟

#BlackHistoryMonth Today we spotlight @Harvard student Theron W. Carmichael @Therbaer whose research focuses on the detection and characterization of transiting brown dwarfs. Carmichael is a mentor and instructor for the Banneker Institute @bbist. ow.ly/Bzaw50DDHxt

Huge thank you to the best advisor @Astro_JRod + coauthors @samuelnquinn @amvanderburg @exofastupdates @bsgaudi @Therbaer @abieryla @lkreidberg @Jonmjenkins @ProfSaraSeager @twitspek @astrojennb @johannateske @JoshuaSchlieder and all the others who I have yet to find on twitter!

New paper on the arXiv today! We confirm and characterize two new massive, short-period Jupiters, TOI-558 and TOI-559, found in the @TESSatMIT Full Frame Images. This work is the final form of my senior thesis! 🙌

hey @Therbaer if you could quit finding more transiting BDs that would be great! Every time I give a seminar I need to update my M-R irradiation plot!!

@jjfplanet @tadkomacek @astronomerslc25 @CenterForAstro @ThorngrenDaniel Yup, the published sample of transiting brown dwarfs (around main sequence stars) is up to about a couple dozen. More from TESS to come later this year!

@tadkomacek @astronomerslc25 Actually, I learned from @Therbaer at @CenterForAstro last week that the sample size of transiting brown dwarfs is now up to 26! So I think there is something that could really be done there. @ThorngrenDaniel and I were just chatting about the impressive sample size.
English

I'm excited to say that @ThorngrenDaniel, @AstroEricL, Sivan Ginzburg and my paper on the re-inflation of warm and hot Jupiters is out on arXiv! You can read it at arxiv.org/abs/2003.04877, and I'll explain the main points below. Also, thank you @molaverdikhani for the shout out!

Yay @Therbaer and coauthors! Two intermediate-mass brown dwarfs from the TESS mission arxiv.org/abs/2002.01943
