This should be a fun one! Really looking forward to finally doing AoT DC 🍺🔭
Join us at @dc9club.bsky.social on February 18th to celebrate the amazing space discoveries made possible by our government agencies! We'll learn about dark energy, cosmic collapse and using X-ray sunglasses to unlock cosmic mysteries.

I'm super excited about this paper on the arXiv today led by UGent grad student Andrea Gebek!
Why are there basically no red galaxies in IllustrisTNG at cosmic noon? It's tempting to think that there might be something wrong about SFRs, but what about dust...

The mass-dependent UVJ diagram at cosmic noon: A challenge for galaxy evolution models and dust radiative transfer
Context. The UVJ color-color diagram is a widely used diagnostic to separate star-forming and quiescent galaxies. Observational data from photometric surveys reveal a strong stellar mass trend, with h...

On the arXiv: great work led by graduating student John Soltis and Michelle Ntampaka.
The issue: the accretion rate is key for the properties of cluster halos, but we have no reliable observational proxies. So we decided to use ML to look for "optimal" info in realistic X-ray/SZ maps from MTNG.

Wrapping up 10 days in China by catching up with my undergrad adviser (after 16 years), friends, and collaborators... thanks for the fantastic visits, Tsinghua and Jiao Tong! A truly memorable trip. Apologies to all the ducks that got harmed in the process.

UMD astronomy is hiring! It's an open call, though we're particularly interested in observers this time. Feel free to message if you're interested and have questions, since I went through the process not that long ago.
