Posting in the Fediverse since last week: @uksolarphysics! 🇬🇧 ☀️
The UK Solar Physics community (UKSP) is a Specialist Scientific Group affiliated to the Royal Astronomical Society. They regularly provide relevant news and nuggets both to their members as well as the international solar physics community at large via https://uksolphys.org/
If you're interested in the research of the Sun, our closest star, at all, consider following them for their announcements either at https://uksolphys.org/news/recent-news-summary/, or via their UKSP newsletter (mailing list), or now directly here via their Mastodon account @uksolarphysics
Maybe don't expect them to interact a lot, but if you *are* here for their very useful announcements, it is now really easy to follow and also boost those. So, a warm welcome to @uksolarphysics 🌞

🚀 Oh, look! The #universe is taking a breather. How considerate of it to slow down so we can keep up! 🎉 Meanwhile, the Royal Astronomical Society's website looks like it time-traveled from 1995, complete with a maze of links and jargon to make your head spin faster than the cosmos! 🪐🔍

Odkryto potencjalnie najmasywniejszą czarną dziurę w historii. Waży tyle, co 36 miliardów Słońc
Międzynarodowy zespół astronomów ogłosił odkrycie jednej z najmasywniejszych czarnych dziur, jaką kiedykolwiek wykryto.
Kosmiczny behemot, o masie szacowanej na 36 miliardów mas Słońca, znajduje się blisko teoretycznej granicy wielkości dla tego typu obiektów. Odkrycia dokonano dzięki nowatorskiej metodzie badawczej, a jego wyniki opublikowano w prestiżowym czasopiśmie Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Co zrobimy, gdy odkryjemy obcą cywilizację? Naukowcy apelują o globalny plan
Czarna dziura znajduje się w centrum galaktyki znanej jako „Kosmiczna Podkowa” (Cosmic Horseshoe), oddalonej od nas o około 5 miliardów lat świetlnych. Jest ona 10 000 razy cięższa od supermasywnej czarnej dziury w sercu naszej Drogi Mlecznej. Sama galaktyka jest tak masywna, że jej grawitacja zakrzywia czasoprzestrzeń i ugina światło odleglejszej galaktyki, tworząc zjawisko soczewkowania grawitacyjnego w kształcie gigantycznego pierścienia.
Przełomem w odkryciu była zastosowana metoda. Naukowcy połączyli dwie techniki: wspomniane soczewkowanie grawitacyjne oraz kinematykę gwiazd (badanie prędkości, z jaką gwiazdy krążą wokół centrum galaktyki). Jak wyjaśnia prof. Thomas Collett z University of Portsmouth, połączenie to pozwoliło po raz pierwszy z dużą pewnością zmierzyć masę „uśpionej” czarnej dziury – czyli takiej, która nie pochłania aktywnie materii – na tak ogromną odległość.
Odkrycie ma ogromne znaczenie dla zrozumienia ewolucji galaktyk. Uważa się, że rozmiar galaktyki jest ściśle powiązany z masą jej centralnej czarnej dziury. „Kosmiczna Podkowa” jest tzw. grupą kopalną – czyli ostatecznym stadium ewolucji, powstałym w wyniku zderzenia i połączenia się wielu mniejszych galaktyk. Naukowcy przypuszczają, że ultramasywna czarna dziura w jej centrum powstała w podobny sposób – z połączenia czarnych dziur ze wszystkich „wchłoniętych” galaktyk.
Nowy świat w Układzie Słonecznym. Odkrycie „Ammonite” podważa istnienie Planety 9

Fantastic night at the #RoyalAstronomicalSociety #AwardsDinner - two medals for @Radboud_uni Astronomy department at #NAM2023. My colleague @mmosc_m received the Eddington medal for her theoretical work and I the Herschel medal for my observational work within the @ehtelescope. Also awarded: John Peacock with a gold medal and Rob Fender for the #Meerkat team. Thanks a lot!
Yes, it was in the big #MilleniumStadium - the national stadium of #Wales fitting 74,000 people #Astrodon #Astronomy

In #astronomy we perceive
the operation of a force
which is mixed up w/
everything that exists
in the heavens or on 🌎
which pervades every atom
rules the motions of animate
& inanimate beings
is as sensible in descent of 💧
as in falls of Niagara

Morning! Would anyone like my lovely #RoyalAstronomicalSociety #diary? I run an electronic diary so it’s surplus to requirements. Coins shown for scale. Yes I know I can opt out of getting it from the #RAS but then I’d have to buy one to give away each year. EDIT: tagging #Astrodon
EDIT2: claimed! Congratulations @amatajo
