does twitter still suck? just checking...

Congratulations Dr Schimek! Very proud 🤗 @aliceschimek @ExGalPeppermint @TonyMroczkowski @atlast_design @astrofysikk

AtLAST has landed on the other .. ehm.. Twitter bsky.app/profile/atlast…

you can find me on Bluesky (bsky.app): @tonymroczkowski.bsky.social

#AtLAST is the top long-term priority in the 2024 UK submm & mm roadmap arxiv.org/pdf/2408.12975: "AtLAST(..) was considered important by 92% of survey respondents. Concerted efforts need to be made over the next 5 years to ensure that AtLAST is funded and built"

@PaolaAndreani yep... @lufthansa have a gift for not taking responsibility

Over the past years, a team of ~100 astronomers from around the world worked to hone the science cases for #AtLAST.  The result is a compendium of eight white papers and an overview report. Read more about them and find all the relevant links here: atlast.uio.no/news-and-event…

@atlast_design @SvenWedemeyer i like the whale for scale. did you know the largest blue whale measured was 29.9 meters, and that it never even visited the Atacama desert?

After a discussion session, we continue with @SvenWedemeyer’s talk on what we AtLAST can discover about our Sun: simultaneous multi band observations with 1deg field of view and fast scanning are key to study the chromosphere. High time resolution enables study of solar flares

We just received the news that the #EU has approved our new grant proposal for the post-design study phase of #AtLAST 🍾🥳 We are extremely excited for the next phase! It’s amazing to receive this news while many of us are meeting at the #EAS2024Padova

What is happening? the AtLAST phase II design study was selected for funding by the European Commission; that's what's happening!

@atlast_design @claudiacicone @spoppi Oh wow, so that's what I look like when overwhelmed and super happy! it's going to be a great!

A few seconds after @TonyMroczkowski @claudiacicone and @spoppi received the big AtLAST news while at the #EAS2024Padova 🍾

Luca Di Mascolo: going beyond the “blobology” SZ science and probing the SZ from individual galaxy haloes and from the hot CGM requires #AtLAST because of its high resolution, wide band coverage, large FoV and extreme sensitivity #EAS2024Padova

Yvette Perrott at #EAS2024Padova high frequency bands > 500 GHz are essential to study and distinguish the relativist SZ effect

New #SPIEastro paper out: A physical optics characterization of the beam shape and sidelobe levels for AtLAST, by Roberto Puddu @pato_gallardo_ @TonyMroczkowski and the rest of the telescope design team arxiv.org/abs/2406.16602

@TonyMroczkowski kicks off the session presenting the #AtLAST telescope design: the combination of large diameter and field of view is unique for a submillimeter telescope

@and_botteon @LOFAR @chandraxray @lucadimascolo I agree, it's time to work on SZ observations! We made a pretty nice image of MS0735's cavities with GBT/MUSTANG-2, also seeing the cocoon shock in quite a bit less than 500 ksec: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022A%26A.… ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023A%26A.…

@LOFAR @chandraxray and if someone (cough, cough @lucadimascolo) is wondering "what about the SZ?"... 👇

AGN-feeback in high-z clusters, by Timmerman+ (including myself) By combining high-resolution observations with @LOFAR long baselines + @chandraxray it is possible to push measuraments of Pcav at z>0.6. Here we report detections of radio lobes up to z=0.9! arxiv.org/abs/2403.03242

The science cases for AtLAST are starting to come out, in case your reading list is a bit short: arxiv.org/abs/2403.00909 arxiv.org/abs/2403.00917 arxiv.org/abs/2403.00920 arxiv.org/abs/2403.00924 arxiv.org/abs/2403.01202 arxiv.org/abs/2403.02258

The #AtLAST design paper is out today. This is the result of almost 4 years of work by @TonyMroczkowski , the team of engineers at @OHB_SE DC, Richard Hills, @pato_gallardo_ and the rest of the AtLAST team helping along the way arxiv.org/abs/2402.18645
