WIYN Observatory is owned/operated by the WIYN Consortium, consisting of U. of Wisconsin, Indiana U., NSF NOIRLab, Penn State U., Purdue U. and Princeton U.
This was a huge collaborative effort, including partnership with HPF's sister spectrograph, @NEID_at_WIYN. Key participants include @mcdonaldobs @NOIRLabAstro @SuvrathM @gummiks @LubysLemmas
⚠️New paper!⚠️ We have discovered a planet, Gaia-4b, and a brown dwarf, Gaia-5b, using the @ESAGaia spacecraft. Gaia-4b is Gaia's first planet detected with astrometry alone and represents the tip-of-the-iceberg of the 100s-1000s of planets that Gaia is expected to detect.
Astronomers using the @WIYNObservatory 3.5-meter Telescope at @NSF @KittPeakNatObs have discovered the extremely strange orbit of a rare exoplanet which holds clues to the formation history of hot Jupiters ow.ly/XWJQ50SEeNl 🖼️: NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/J. da Silva (Spaceengine)
