Astrophysics student at Ohio University (OU) in the Honors Tutorial College, minoring in computer science. Member of OU physics & astronomy department DEI committee.
I am thrilled to share that my (first-ever) paper, "Emergence of the temperature-density relation in the low-density intergalactic medium", has been published in the esteemed Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS). I wrote this paper in collaboration with PhD Candidate David Robinson, Dr. Camille Avestruz, and Dr. Nick Gnedin over research that I completed through the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Michigan last summer. In this paper, we examine the evolution of the phase diagram of the low-density intergalactic medium during the Epoch of Reionization in simulation boxes with varying reionization histories from the Cosmic Reionization on Computers project. Our results indicate that the neutral fraction is a primary quantity controlling the various properties of the temperature–density relation, regardless of reionization history. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have explored such an interesting area of astrophysics, and to additionally learn about the paper-writing and publishing process, especially including the opportunity of being the lead author on this paper. This experience taught me so much of what goes into writing a paper as well as many other skills, which I hope to continue building throughout my career.

🎆 Hanindyo Kuncarayakti, a Docent and Research Council of Finland Fellow at the Turun yliopisto - University of Turku and his colleagues in Finland and Japan are studying the death events of stars, known as supernovae. The collaboration itself has already existed for the past several years, where they've conducted research on various time-domain astronomy and supernova-related topics, combining observational data analysis and theoretical calculations. ❄ Dr. Kuncarayakti's project uses LUMI to simulate the supernova explosion and interaction, which requires significant computational power. This is the 4th blog in series that represents collaboration projects between Finland-Japan and Finland-Colorado that use LUMI supercomputer to address global challenges and top-level research topics in different fields. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gZ6a_2_n Kyoto University | The University of Tokyo | National Astronomical Observatory of Japan #supernova #astronomy #HPC #LUMIsupercomputer

Noah Manning, a fourth-year Physics/Astrophysical Sciences and Technology BS/MS major, is doing research at RIT under the NASA Space Grant. He works with Dr. Richard O'Shaughnessy, reanalyzing GWTC-3, the third gravitational-wave transients catalog, to determine differences in parameter estimation of compact binary coalescence sources that arise from the choice of gravitational-wave model used. Having more accurate models – and knowing where these differences occur – allows us to determine more accurate parameters of these systems. These values inform us about the system, leading to findings regarding information on the environments around compact objects and even an independent measurement of the Hubble constant. "Working on this project for the summer has given me firsthand experience in computational astrophysics research. I was able to improve my coding abilities, learn about gravitational waves, compact binaries, and improve my understanding of statistics. This opportunity has made me more confident in who I am as a researcher and my abilities as I use this project as a stepping stone for my master's thesis."

Astronomy has long used light to explore the Universe, but photons aren't the only cosmic messengers in town! Just like we can use our multiple senses to learn about the world around us, combining the information from multiple cosmic "messengers" gives scientists a better idea of how the Universe works 🌌 These cosmic messengers include photons✨, gravitational waves🌀, neutrinos👻, and cosmic rays⚡️ Once Rubin comes online, it'll join a global "multi-messenger" network of cosmic detectors, and its wide view and keen eye will help scientists detect and study more multi-messenger sources more quickly than ever before🔭 🔗: https://lnkd.in/gY5KxgEt . . .

We are pleased to invite you to submit your abstracts (talk + poster) to our session PS13 Astrochemical Processes Leading to the Formation of Planetary Bodies in the Solar System at the upcoming Asia Oceania Geosciences Society 2024 meeting. The conference will take place in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do, South Korea, from June 23 - June 28 2024. Deadline for abstracts is January 2nd. This session intends to bring together researchers in the field of planetary science, astrophysics, astrochemistry, and atmospheric science whose work focuses on the study of molecular interactions towards the formation of organic compounds in planetary environments, including comets, asteroids, planetary object (planets, dwarf planets, and moons) surfaces, and planetary atmospheres. This also includes studies covering the formation of simple chemical precursors up to larger and more complex macromolecular organic compounds. Research areas that are encouraged include, but are not limited to, all spectral ranges of laboratory investigations, particle (electrons, protons, cosmic rays) and radiation (ultraviolet, extreme ultraviolet, X-ray photons) interaction with all phases of matter including ices and tholins, and theoretical and laboratory cross sections and reaction rates, with emphasis on applications to planetary, cometary, and astronomical observations. Experimentalists, observers, theorists, and modelers are all encouraged to present their work to disseminate and advance scientific knowledge in this very interdisciplinary field, further discuss emerging ideas and insights on planetary science, astrophysics, and astrochemistry. It is important to promote the dialogues among interdisciplinary researchers, in Asia, Oceania, and the rest of the world, and to increase collaborations and the cross fertilization of ideas to ensure the continual growth of scientific understanding in our community.
