Our poster highlighting the discovery pathways for brown dwarfs and exoplanets with the SKA for the SKA science meeting in Görlitz next week!

Our recent work has just been published in A&A! We developed a retrieval framework for the large-scale magnetic fields of objects emitting radio bursts driven by the electron cyclotron maser (ECM) instability. We applied it to the brown dwarf J0623, and found that it has a large magnetic obliquity!

Delighted to announce that our Cool Stars splinter on (sub)-stellar magnetospheres is now open for abstract submission! The deadline is March 12th at 23:59 UTC. Details below! cs22substellar.github.io

Delighted to announce that the next Bcool meeting take place from April 9-11th 2024 at ASTRON! The deadline for registration and abstract submission is March 8th. Details: indico.astron.nl/e/bcool2024

11th BCool meeting

11th BCool meetingImage: Allison LiThe 11th Bcool meeting will take place from April 9-11 2024 at ASTRON in the Netherlands, situated in the lush Dwingelderveld National Park. The aim of this meeting is to strengthen links between the worlds of stellar magnetism and radio astronomy. The scope of the meeting covers both observations and theory in topics such as:magnetic fields of stars, brown dwarfs, and planetsdynamo processesstellar winds and coronal mass ejectionsstar-planet...

I had a nice chat recently with @astrojonny.bsky.social about hints of star-planet interactions on YZ Ceti, and what we can learn from them about exoplanetary magnetic fields. Check out the article below featuring some amazing illustrations that I will be stealing for future talks!

New observations of a faraway rocky world that might have its own magnetic field could help astronomers understand the seemingly haphazard magnetic fields swaddling our solar system’s planets.
