Another wonderful article about our RZ Psc work!
I was tempted to make this post "Avi Loeb Claims Millions of Spaceships Found" but decided against it.

Alien Comets Swarm around Other Stars
Comets don’t just orbit our sun. “Exocomets” are common around other stars in the galaxy, too

This! Here's a slide pulled from my class lecture notes this semester. Comets have two clear tails - one from dust and one from ions. They point in different directions because one feels the solar wind while the other feels radiation pressure.

Nature published a research highlight on our RZ PSc exocomet paper: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
A host of ‘exocomets’ swarms a distant star
Dimming of the starlight from RZ Piscium reveals that 24 unseen bodies are whizzing around the star.

So excited that our paper is finally out! We analyzed archival TESS observations of RZ Psc and detected 24 transiting exocomets. And, Adalyn is an amazing undergrad applying for grad school this year!

This summer I have been working with Prof @afeinstein20.bsky.social at MSU, I presented my research via a poster at the Mid-SURE undergraduate symposium. I have loved Michigan’s “hiking” and lakes and the entire research group - pictured here.

I successfully defended my undergraduate honors thesis and was awarded the degree designation Magna cum laude in Astronomy–Astrophysics. I’m incredibly grateful to my advisors, Dr. Adam Kowalski and Dr. Adina Feinstein, for their exceptional mentorship and support.

I presented my iposter today at #AAS245 thank you to everyone who came to support me, I will be doing the final round of the Chambliss poster competition tomorrow! I presented on my research using the Hubble Space Telescope to characterize the stellar flare atmosphere of AU Mic.

Had a great first day at #AAS245 I will be presenting a poster tomorrow (Monday) at 5:30 - 6:30 pm, terminal #105! I will be presenting my research on stellar flares with HST.
