We have first light on our Large Aperture Telescope! www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/03/17/s... After installing our mirrors over the last few weeks, we have started looking at the sky. We are still tuning the telescope, but we can already make maps of objects in the sky, like Mars. ☄️🔭🧪

Join us tomorrow, March 18th, for the strike of @unigroningen.bsky.social and Hanze University of Applied Sciences against the annually increasing budget cuts on higher education! Check the full program here: organizetherug.wordpress.com/strikes/ 🟥 #OrganizeTheRUG 🧪

Budget cuts are not "just" a US issue. The Dutch government has planned budget cuts for over half a billion euros from higher education. This will lead to a disastrous deterioration of the quality of education and research. And that's why we are striking! 🟥 🧪

A small experiment for making #herakoi more accessible. And now you can take your blip-blop sonification machine everywhere! 🐡

Another round of AtLAST Forum is happening today @ 14UTC. If you don't know what to do during your lunch break and are curious about last month's Forum, go check the Forum playlist on the @atlastdesign.bsky.social YouTube channel: tinyurl.com/atlast-forum 📡 ☄️ 🔭 🧪

Kudos to Gabriella Di Gennaro for this. Finding radio haloes in distant galaxy clusters is a tricky, but not impossible business. And indeed, these are galaxy clusters observed when the Universe was only around half of its age! #extragalactic 🧪🔭

The skies above Paranal are at risk from a proposed industrial megaproject. This would be located in the vicinity of ESO's Observatory. If constructed, it would irreparably impact astronomical observations. Read more: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2501/ 🔭 📷 ESO/P. Horálek

Maybe it's just time to start rethinking the way we publish papers? Journals like @ojastro.bsky.social and Open Research Europe are free and open access – and the latter uses an open (imo, very interesting) approach to peer review. 🔭🧪

One day late, but yet another work by Joshiwa van Marrewijk 🚀 Characterizing the statistical properties of noise in interferometric images is a tricky game. And, indeed, many past high-z lines might actually be just false detections of spurious noise features arxiv.org/abs/2501.03150 📡🔭🧪

An amazing piece of work led by (my brother in science) Joshiwa van Marrewijk and Thomas Morris. Are you building a single-dish telescope (not not talking about you, @atlastdesign.bsky.social) and want to test for mapping and filtering strategies, atmospheric mitigation, etc? Just ask maria. 📡🔭🧪

Tiny, but significant milestone for #herakoi! Earlier this year, the SAIt invited me and @micginolfi.bsky.social to present our "motion-sensing sonification experiment" at the VITEII workshop. And today, we got a short proceeding out on #arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2412.09152 🌌🔭🐡🧪

Hi, @atlastdesign.bsky.social! How blue is the sky in the submm?

Join us today at the EAS2024 SS27 “Towards mapping the submillimeter universe with AtLAST”: exciting talks about submm observations of the MilkyWay, our Sun, interstellar magnetic fields, the Magellanic Clouds, the CGM, the SZ effect and distant galaxies! #EAS2024Padova 🧪 🔭

The AtLAST design paper is out today. This is the result of almost 4 years of work by @tonymroczkowski.bsky.social , the team of engineers at OHB DC, Richard Hills, Pato Gallardo and the rest of the AtLAST team helping along the way arxiv.org/abs/2402.18645 🔭 🧪

Being cool, the Spiderweb way 🕸️ Marika Lepore led a re-analysis of the central region of the Spiderweb protocluster at z=2.16, combining Chandra X-ray and ALMA SZ data. And we find evidence for a strongly cooling core. More on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2312.06392 🔭🧪

The #AtLAST project was in the spotlight in the concluding remarks of the #ALMA 10th anniversary conference. A telescope such as AtLAST 📡 would (among other things) provide new targets for ALMA follow ups for a long time, keeping ALMA relevant well beyond the 2030s 🔭🧪

[proud scientific older brother mode: on] Live on arXiv today, the first first-author by Joshiwa van Marrewijk! He used high-res ALMA and ACT data to peer into the pressure structure of XLSCC 122, among the most distant clusters ever observed. arxiv.org/abs/2310.06120
