Relaying this from the ALMA Observatory account "over there”…

A Surprise Chemical Find by ALMA May Help Detect and Confirm Protoplanets. Located in the constellation Sagittarius, the young star HD 169142 is host to a giant protoplanet embedded within its dusty, gas-rich protoplanetary disk.

"These detections give insights into planet formation & age determination. A crucial 1st step in deepening our understanding! 🌌🌍🧪

Paper available on arXiv, soon in Astronomy & Astrophysics! Read it: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.04285 📚🔭🎉 #exoplanets #astrochemistry #planetformation #discovery #AstronomyAndAstrophysics "

"We ID'ed 3 heavy species in KELT-9b: Sr, Ba, & Tb (heaviest in exoplanet atmosphere). See the bright features in these plots! 🌌🔬📊 #exoplanets #astrochemistry #discovery #spectroscopy "

"Using our data-combining technique, we confirmed aliases & boosted sensitivity for new species detection. See how ionized Fe creates aliases in Mg & Ba detections. 📊🔬 #exoplanets #astrochemistry #dataanalysis #spectroscopy "

"We analyzed cross-correlation function aliases & found they can mislead detections. See this plot showing what they look like in data. 📈🔍 #exoplanets #astrochemistry #dataanalysis "

"Built on previous studies, we combined observations for high S/N signals. Check out how our method improved Fe signal from 1 night vs. 4 nights of data! 🔧🌌📊

"Exciting news! My 1st paper is out: "The Mantis Network III: Expanding the limits of chemical searches within ultra-hot Jupiters." 🪐🔍🔭 New atomic & ionized species found in KELT-9b! Challenging journey but thrilled to share!

We detected Ca, V, Ti, Cr, & Ni (atomic) and Sr, Ba, & Tb (ionized) in KELT-9b's atmosphere using HARPS-N & CARMENES spectrographs. Tb is the heaviest species ever detected on an exoplanet! 🌟🔭💫 #exoplanets #astrochemistry "

A promise I shall keep:

Last Wednesday, we - the #astronomy club at #LundUniversity - had the absolute pleasure of listening to a talk by Pablo L. Finkel.

He introduced us to the world of lipid biomarkers and the search for life on Mars! 🔎👽

Oooh, I'm really excited about this one. I'll be hosting this Chemistry World webinar looking at why we're planning to go back to the ice giant #Uranus

We have amazing guests speaking: Naomi Rowe-Gurney from NASA and Athena Coustenis from National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).

It will be an honour to give a talk about the past and the future of state-selective electron-ion recombination experiments at the Symposium on Next Generation #Astrochemistry in Tokyo (https://nga-2022.webnode.page/program/). I am looking forward to socialising with like-minded researchers! Let’s bring the #quantum control to the #plasma #physics!

#introduction

Hi! I'm Kelvin, an #ai/#ml engineer/researcher at Intel, where I work on performant AI for #science. In my previous life, I was a postdoc at #MIT Chemistry, where I worked in #astrochemistry and #spectroscopy!

I like everything #foss, hearing about #python and especially #julialang. I'm also an aficionado for visual design and #typography.
