I made a ppt summary of the awesome @ESO Gaia BH3 results with thoughts on formation of massive BHs and results from @balbinotdd and Amedeo Romagnolo and some bonus fun facts (like the one below): , a PDF is available here: broekgaarden.nl/floor/wordpres…
Gravitational collapse of SpongeBob You can see how Virial equilibrium is eventually reached
With @MacarenaLagos14 we realized that spatially-resolved jets in neutron star mergers (e.g. VLBI for GW170817) constrain the intrinsic binary orientation of at the source, which need not match that inferred from the GW-measured polarization in some extensions of GR.

✨New paper on the arXiv today! ✨ We investigate a second source for the heavy r-process elements (e.g., Thorium, Iodine, Gold!) - the core-collapse supernovae following long GRBs - using the incredible @HUBBLE_space! 🧵 below & see arxiv.org/abs/2312.04630 for more!
🆕 The supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) has been captured by Webb’s NIRCam, revealing never-before-seen features.

A commencement would have reflected what most Columbia faculty and students think, and maybe reveal truths that many are still denying. If it had been the administration’s actions were broadly popular, but a small minority would disrupt, likely a different decision.
Commencement at Columbia cancelled on 15th May. This is the big ceremony for everybody at the University which usually spans the whole area between the libraries and on the lawns where the protest encampment was based. Campus remains locked down for most. communications.news.columbia.edu/news/campus-up…

Great to see that my earlier work arxiv.org/abs/2203.01956 with Greg Loges and Nidhi Sudhir @UWMadPhysics is confirmed. The (in)famous negative mode problem has been clouding the subject for over a quarter of a century. Our works show they are absent. x.com/thomasvanriet2…

People ask, "what's the difference between Hubble and Roman?" There are a few, but here's a biggy: in 5 weeks of TVAC testing of the Wide Field Instrument (with a week to go yet) we've collected 300 TB of image data. Over its entire 34 year lifetime, Hubble collected 430 TB.
IT'S HAPPENING: Strongest EVER constraints on the free-streaming length of dark matter from a combination of the first 9 lenses in our @NASAWebb program and 5 previously measured lenses. This work was led by @ucmerced postdoc @RyanEKeeley arxiv.org/abs/2405.01620
New paper, led by Vic! What's powering the off-nuclear persistent radio sources seen in nearby dwarf galaxies? Wandering large, massive black holes or powerful smaller black holes/neutron stars? These emissions resemble the persistent radio counterparts seen from FRB sources.
Happy Friday peeps! My latest paper on exploring the plausibility that a sample of radio sources in nearby dwarf galaxies are analogs to persistent radio sources (PRSs) associated with FRBs using VLA + EVN observations is live today: arxiv.org/abs/2405.00784!

The common thread in Samuel Alito’s rulings is that he always sides with Republicans. As a seasoned legal analyst, it’s my job to pretend he’s adhering to some higher, coherent judicial philosophy.
If we combine these measurements with BHs and NSs discovered with other methods, we see a mass bimodality ("gap?") for compact objects in binaries over 4 orders of magnitude in orbital period. It's not subtle. 7/n
