Carnegie Science’s Post

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.

🌌 Unraveling the Marvels of the Cosmos through Nobel-Winning Research! 🏆 #NobelPrize #Physics #Astrophysics #Astronomy #CosmicWonders #ScientificBreakthroughs #SpaceExploration #ThrowbackThursday Let's delve into the extraordinary laureates of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics, whose groundbreaking work continues to advance our knowledge of the cosmos. 🚀🌠 #ThrowbackThursday 👉 James Peebles, the visionary Canadian-American physicist, was recognized for his theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology. 📚 His pioneering research unveiled the secrets of the universe's structure and evolution. Peebles' contributions, including the development of the Big Bang theory and the study of cosmic microwave background radiation, have been pivotal in understanding our cosmic origins. His work on dark matter and dark energy continues to drive scientific exploration into the fundamental nature of the universe. 🌌 #CosmicOrigins #TheoreticalPhysics #DarkMatter #DarkEnergy 👉 Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz were jointly honored with the Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star. 🌍 Their remarkable detection of 51 Pegasi b in 1995 marked a turning point in astronomy, providing the first concrete evidence of planets beyond our solar system. This discovery has since led to the detection of thousands of exoplanets, revolutionizing our understanding of planetary systems and the potential for life beyond Earth. #Exoplanets #PlanetarySystems #AlienWorlds As we look back on their laureates' remarkable achievements, we gain insight into the cutting-edge research that has propelled astrophysics and astronomy into new realms of exploration. 🌟 The impact of their work extends far beyond the scientific community, inspiring wonder and curiosity among people worldwide. 🤩 #ScienceInspires #CosmicExploration #WonderOfSpace 🔍 Now, I'd love to hear your thoughts! What do you find most fascinating about the award-winning research of these brilliant minds? Share your insights and reflections on how their discoveries have influenced our understanding of the cosmos.

⬛️ 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚠𝚌𝚊𝚜𝚎 ⬛️ With the help of our #supercomputers, our long-time user and researcher Michaela Brchnelova from KU Leuven published her research "The role of plasma β in global coronal models: Bringing balance back to the force" The article, which was published by the prestigious Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A) has come up with results that will aid the efforts to improve the accuracy and reliability of space weather forecasting, and can hopefully help better protect assets, critical infrastructure, and society against the effects of space weather. ➡️ Continue reading here: https://lnkd.in/en9BeXFn 🔖 More research articles at 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚠𝚌𝚊𝚜𝚎 here https://lnkd.in/eYvbVbKf 📬 Subscribe to our newsletter and be the first to receive our latest news, events, and research articles at https://lnkd.in/eykCh2c

🎆 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
