I’ve done it! I’m now a doctor of astrophysics! 🥳🎉🎈 We have a little tradition of a PhD viva hat- mine has an axolotl eating the SMC, with the LMC on the other end 😂

This is our current "greatest hits" collection of stellar tidal streams from our poster in the meeting "The Milky Way Assembly Tale" celebrated in Bologna this week, selected from our current sample of more than 100 streams (and increasing) from our "Stellar Stream Legacy Survey"

We can detect the tidal distortion in the outskirts of the cluster thanks to Euclid’s depth and wide field of view

For the Euclid release, I made a fun movie of the globular cluster M10 (NGC 6254) showing its tidal disruption in the Milky Way. The frames are every 100000 years so it’s fun to watch the stars in the outskirts of the cluster. youtu.be/2VMycoO3oU8?si…

@deniserkal That stream is why I need so much data. It's visible in my shot just super noisy and affected by the light pollution in my area!

Here's a shot of the Sombrero galaxy I captured last night with my scope. It's quite small, so it is much harder to get details on than say, Andromeda galaxy. Overall I'm still thrilled at how this capture is coming along! This is just 90 min out of a planned 30 hour capture.
