In a paper out in @nature today, the ultimate origin story…we can now explain how all nearby star formation (within ~ 500 light years of our Sun) began. A thread. (More from @AlyssaAGoodman) (1/N) youtu.be/HGZQ4SmDxcQ

Roman's fast surveying speeds, Hubble-like resolution, wide field of view, and optical and infrared capabilities will capture the Milky Way like never before! 🌌 Learn more about the galactic plane survey: go.nasa.gov/3wYMCVT

Nice paper on arxiv today by SAO REU alums Theo O'Neill and Catherine Zucker with 3D maps of the Local Bubble. ("local" means 500 light years or so here :-)) arxiv.org/abs/2403.04961

The Radcliffe Wave! "Who ordered that?" Our story on this big thing out there they just discovered, and the hints of a big galactic disturbance. Fun stuff! washingtonpost.com/science/2024/0…

Want to discuss the latest methods for unveiling the 3D structure and dynamics of our Milky Way in the era of large surveys? Do you want to stay in a castle? If "yes" to both, you have just over one week left to apply for this Ringberg workshop! sites.google.com/cfa.harvard.ed…

Astronomers! Briefly showing back up on X because this is important. If you are a AAS member, you should have just gotten an action alert. PLEASE DO IT. Congress is negotiating federal spending levels RIGHT NOW for the coming year. DO IT and I'll send you a virtual gold star :)

Now even more timely! @NASARoman WILL be surveying the Galactic plane as part of the early-definition astrophysics survey program. Come to this #AAS243 special session to learn more about all the wondrous scientific possibilities this future community-driven effort will bring!
Catherine Zucker@cszucker

Will you be at the @AAS_Office meeting this January? Do you want to learn why it would be fantastic to survey the Milky Way's disk with Roman? If so, please come to our special session on "The Future of Galactic Plane Science with the Roman Space Telescope." Flyer attached!

🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌 Holy crap Milky Way enthusiasts, get psyched! @NASARoman has selected a Galactic plane survey as one of its main activities in the first 5 years. This would produce a catalog of 100,000,000,000+ stars and a dust map that extends across the Galactic plane!

I'm hiring a postdoctoral fellow! If you'd like to join the vibrant scientific community at the CfA and work on the interstellar medium, star formation, stellar populations, or the structure and dynamics of the Milky Way/nearby galaxies, please apply! jobregister.aas.org/ad/d5b28e93

Super excited about this result! Combining 3D dust + spectral-line maps reveals that the Taurus molecular cloud is being smooshed between two superbubbles. Thanks to @juandiegosoler for leading this!

#PaperDay "A panoptic view of the Taurus molecular cloud I. The cloud dynamics revealed by gas emission and 3D dust." We found that one of the best-studied molecular clouds is being compressed and the young stars don't seem to know about those gas dynamics ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023arXiv2…
