#atmospheres — Public Fediverse posts

Wanting oceans and clear skies around the nearest twin-sun pair to Earth imposes some rather alien but spectacular results: red skies, black seas, -200 degree temperatures, and more...

Molten #planets and early #atmospheres in the #lab: #mpsgoettingen scientist Christian Renggli receives one of this year’s ERC Starting Grants for his group ELMO (Experimental Laboratory Magma Ocean). Congratulations!!!

Great to see interest in my thread yesterday on #exoplanet detection using #microlensing.

https://astrodon.social/@eamonn_kerins/109308901344825202

I promised threads on 2 other topics: detecting exoplanet #atmospheres using #TransmissionSpectroscopy, and also on #SETI - the Search for #ExtraterrestrialIntelligence.

I'll leave the thread on exoplanet atmospheres to next month to chime (hopefully) with some new work we're doing here at the #UniversityOfManchester.

So, later this week, we'll talk about hunting for #aliens! 👽

Since I am new to #mastodon I'm going to do some threads about some #work I'm involved with. My areas or #research focus on #exoplanet #detection using the #microlensing technique, probing exoplanet #atmospheres using #TransmissionSpectroscopy, and also #GameTheory based approaches to #SETI - the Search for #ExtraTerrestialIntelligence.

Today I'll start with a 🧵 exoplanet detection with microlensing... (1/n)
