I have arrived.

One existential crisis from being productive.
Doesn't being vaxxed also help keep you from spreading it?

Your house guest also was vaxxed

To solve this problem we should release more bats

I know nothing. But historically all Seattle teams suchk so it's a pleasant surprise. We'll have to complain about something else.

Barstow: reaching wishlist includes long baseline stability (500 hrs), broad wavelength coverage (0.15-2.5um), and polarimeter. And we get eclipses and transits for free. #HWO25

Barstow: reflected light phase curves are also really good probes of aerosol properties. Polarimetry would also be a very useful diagnostic of aerosol composition #HWO25

Barstow: HWO phase curves will make many more planets accessible and will uniquely give us reflected light phase curves instead of only thermal and makes a bunch of species accessible like Sulfur species in 200-400nm wavelengths #HWO25

Barstow: Phase curves with JWST have showed us that e.g. on WASP-43b winds are so fast that it cannot cool quickly enough to form things like methane #HWO25
July 31, 2025 at 7:20 PM
Barstow: there is a dichotomy between the types of giant planets observed with jwst (tidally locked) and giant planets like Jupiter that are fast potatoes. But what is happening in the in between P~30days and what might their atmospheres be like chemically and dynamically #HWO25
