For my German (🇦🇹 🇩🇪) speaking friends, here is a press release about my latest paper on ion cyclotron waves 🏄 in the neighbourhood of Jupiter's moon🌛 Io. Interestingly, we found a signature of phosphorus in the magnetic field data. (Open access paper in press release.) www.oeaw.ac.at/iwf/aktuelle...

For four billion years, Earth has been under attack. Travelling at 2 million km an hour, the solar wind heads directly our way. Luckily, we have an invisible shield that keeps us safe. Understanding this shield, how it holds and how it breaks will be Smile's goal 👉 youtu.be/XS3INI9IsME 🔭 🧪 ☀️
We’re about to see Earth’s magnetic shield like never before

Europa Clipper has observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with its ultraviolet spectrograph instrument! News here: www.swri.org/newsroom/pre...

Our XMM-Newton has observed comet 3I/ATLAS in X-ray light! When gas molecules streaming from a comet collide with the solar wind they produce X-rays, seen here as the red glow of 3I/ATLAS 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed... Blue marks empty space with little X-rays. The black line is a detector gap 🔭 🧪
![This image shows an X-ray view of interstellar comet 3I ATLAS, captured by ESA’s XMM-Newton spacecraft. At the centre of the image, a bright red spot stands out against a dark background, like a fiery beacon. Starting from this core, faint gradients of purple and blue spread outward, creating a slightly rotated rectangular frame, divided by a thin horizontal line. The red colour shows low-energy X-rays, blue marks empty space with very few X-rays. A yellow arrow labelled “Sun” points left, indicating the comet’s orientation in the Solar System. At the bottom right, a scale marker reads “5 arcmin”, providing a sense of spatial dimension.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p5h5ai6lj6bc53b7mmvy3rf2/bafkreicot2eitpk5sa6jclrhzqsrrpa5dxwb7dwomik2zs66b3ye37jst4)
Our #JUICE spacecraft captured comet #3IATLAS during its active phase, showing its glowing coma, plasma tail, and maybe even a dust tail. The full data will arrive in February, but here is a sneak preview from JUICE's navigation camera. More info 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...
Finally, the revised version of our paper "Pick-up Generated Ion Cyclotron Waves Around Io" has now been submitted to @aanda-journal.bsky.social Astronomy & Astrophysics. Thanks go to my co-authors (and the referee)
The #EGU26 has opened their abstract submissions (deadline 15 January 13:00 CET) for the meeting 3 to 8 May 2026 in Vienna. 1/3
Waarom zegt Dilan niet dat het een keuze is tussen centrum rechts en links 🤔, oh wacht, heb het pas 22 keer gehoord vanavond 😂
De laatste loodjes wegen het zwaarst. Busy makig the last revisions of my Io ion cyclotron waves 🌊 paper (some co-authors just give too mucn information 😆) before sending it around to my co-authors once more. Also trying to finish my Mercury 🌕 mirror mode paper. Time for a break!⏸️
