Hot Jupiters aren't expected form in their current locations. In their BOWIE+ seminar, James Kirk and Evie Ahrer explain how observations of the atmospheric composition might be used to discern between different migration mechanisms. #exoplanets #astronomy www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJTG...

The final BOWIE+ seminar of the summer is this coming Thursday. Elsie Lee will discuss 3D general circulation modelling in the era of JWST. Sign up to our mailing list to receive the Zoom link (details in bio). #exoplanets

I am INCREDIBLY lucky to get to be an astronomer as my day job - and if it has taught me anything, it is that 99.99999999999% of our Universe is an inhospitable shithole. This blue speck in a sea of darkness is the only place we have, and we should really start treating it like that.

Our next seminar is June 25th and is a joint talk by James Kirk and Eva-Maria Ahrer on their BOWIE-ALIGN JWST program. Sign up to our mailing list to receive the Zoom link (details on our webpage; link in bio).

Great work by Sid Gandhi helping us understand the super Jupiter AB Pictoris b. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaKF...

Many of the BOWIE+ Seminar organizers are at UKEXOM in Bristol this week, and we have a poster near the entrance to the Great Hall (no number, unfortunately). Come suggest ideas for themes and speakers for the coming year. #exoplanets

Direct imaging of brown dwarfs and exoplanets provides our best look at atmospheres outside our solar system, and Beth Biller will help you make sense of all the data. #astronomy #exoplanets www.youtube.com/watch?v=zprl...

There are lots of aspects of silicate clouds in substellar objects that we don't often think about. Luckily, Sarah Moran (@offallingstars.bsky.social) and Elijah Mullens are here to fill us in on the interesting details. #exoplanets #astronomy www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYWZ...

Cows aren't often spherical and neither are aerosols. Final-year PhD student Matt Lodge has investigated how non-spherical aerosols in exoplanet atmospheres impact their transmission spectra. Listen to him explain the implications here. #astronomy #exoplanets www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHIV...

The care that has to be taken when analyzing transmission spectra of ultra-hot Jupiters due to 3D effects is always really fascinating. Here is Cyril Gapp's recent talk on his work on the ultra-hot WASP-121b and the cool things going on in its atmosphere. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuZU...
