@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.

I'd like to announce that I have successfully defended my PhD thesis on transiting brown dwarfs earlier today. I will be joining the University of Edinburgh later this year to continue this research. Let me know what I should check out in the UK when I get there ✨

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

If Y dwarfs range in mass from ~3-20 Jupiter masses, then are Y dwarfs planets or brown dwarfs? I have a feeling the answer is "yes" 😒

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! 🙌 arxiv.org/abs/2102.02222

Sometimes I feel irrationally betrayed by the full moon when it parades near stars that I want to schedule spectroscopic observations of.

Alright, I'm slowly going to start winding up this Twitter thing again. Please do not be alarmed if I like Tweets from 4-52 weeks ago. If I see what I like, I will press that little heart thing.

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!!
