Paper day on #ScienceMastodon! Because of my recent move to #Kapteyn I did not get to toot (!) about Matt Clement's and my recent #paper "Reduced Late #Bombardment on Rocky #Exoplanets around M #Dwarfs", which was published in the #Astrophysical #Journal Letters a few weeks ago. You can download the paper here: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022ApJ...938L...3L. And a ~20 min presentation on it from late October is here: https://youtu.be/M2CopK35Jrs. A short ๐งต on our findings. ๐ #astronomy #astrodon #astrophysics #science

In October 2022 I started at the #Kapteyn Astronomical Institute of the University of #Groningen as Assistant Professor. I am now looking for two #PhD students to study the evolution of hot rocky #exoplanets, with a focus on magma ocean #interiors and #atmospheres. ๐๐๐ญ #Application deadline is 1st December 2022. More details can be found at: https://formingworlds.space/post/phd-positions-october-2022.

#introduction
I'm an #astrophysicist at the #Kapteyn Astronomical Institute at the #UniversityOfGroningen in the Netherlands. I study the most massive #galaxies in the Universe and build #AstronomicalInstrumentation to observe them. I'm originally American but have lived in the #NL for more than 20 years now.
I love music, play guitar badly for nearly 40 years, and am an avid board and #TTRPG gamer. I have a deep fondness for comic books and strategy games. #astrodon #astronomy
