Proof that #AstroTDU swag is great: I knocked over my coffee cup, and didn't notice for 10 mins, but there was only very minor spillage! 😄☕ @AstronoMoore slide in background 🌟
Incredibly proud to have led one of the teams studying SN2022jli and of the hard work of our research group at @QUBelfast @AstroQUB enabling breakthrough discoveries like this one. We use @ESO NTT as part of @PESSTOsurvey, @NASA, @LCO_Global, @NASASwift, @ESAGaia & more.

Our @ESO press release on SN2022jli. This is the first direct link between supernovae and the formation of black holes eso.org/public/news/es…
Using ESO's #VLT and NTT, among other instruments, astronomers have found direct evidence that #supernovae 💥 give rise to #BlackHoles or neutron stars — a process at which prior clues hinted, but which had never been witnessed in real time until now. 1/

Thomas Moore (@AstronoMoore), a PhD student in ARC, was recently interviewed for a New Scientist article! Moore et al. investigated the first time that repeated periodic oscillations, over many cycles, have been detected in a supernova light curve. newscientist.com/article/239980…
We have finished our successful @AstroQUB observer @PESSTOsurvey run at the incredible @ESO La Silla observatory. The kindness, collegiality and shared passion of the community has made this experience so special. Pictured: my favourite tradition, the La Silla green flash survey
I wish I was as successful at research as ResearchGate thinks I am
Interviewed for this nice article in New Scientist newscientist.com/article/239980…

Excited to see that my first paper has appeared in ApJL: SN 2022jli: A Type Ic Supernova with Periodic Modulation of Its Light Curve and an Unusually Long Rise doi.org/10.3847/2041-8… via @AAS_Publishing
That’s my plot! Figure. 1. In my new paper available on arXiv.

PhDs are cheap labour. So a lot of grunt work projects are assigned to PhD students, knowing fully well that these projects will not help them build an academic career. But PI’s won’t ever say this cause they need PhDs to advance their own careers.
