Speaker at the X-ray Universe 2026 conference: "Is someone in the audience who wasn't alive when XMM-Newton launched?"
Shocked laughter from the audience, mostly from the folks who remember the launch in 1999... (still working, still 7 to 9 times oversubscribed...)

The reason I am in Argentina
More info here: https://congresos.unlp.edu.ar/astralx/
I'm really excited to teach here - I wanted to do one of the capacity building workshops for a while.

In Science News:
My postdoc, Luca Ighina, just published an analysis of a VERY FASCINATING high-redshift quasar. In short, not only is it radio-loud and ___the X-ray-brightest non-blazar at these redshifts___ it seems like it just might be super-Eddington!
Press release here: https://chandra.si.edu/photo/2025/red6/
And, of course, this is a #ChandraXRay result!

Discovery Awaits! Highlights of the upcoming #ChandraXRay Cycle 27 Science Program. From what makes Jupiter's aurorae glow to counting black holes at the dawn of time, there's lots of science to be excited about for #NASA's Flagship X-ray astrophysics mission!
20 MB PDF: https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/target_lists/cycle27/DiscoveryAwaits_Cyc27.pdf(And this is a thing that I, personally, have been working on for a spell, so I'm super excited to see the document released).

A blast from the past.
Check out this X-ray image of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant, taken by NASA's Einstein Observatory in 1980.

Real happy birthday to our dear XMM-Newton, who turns 25 today! I did my first paper using XMM data, and I'm glad to see that many years later folks are still getting the chance to get started with ESA's exceptional space telescope.

#OTD in 1999, the Space Shuttle Columbia lifted off with the heaviest payload ever sent to orbit on the STS -- the #ChandraXRay Observatory. Soon after, Chandra was deployed from the Cargo Bay and boosted to its final orbit via the final Shuttle-based launch of the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS).

At #AAS244 and looking for something to do? Come to our booth and learn about the ongoing science we're doing, our outreach initiatives, how to become an X-ray astronomer (or pretend to be one convincingly!), and grab some great swag!
