It's paper day! *with a typo in the title* arxiv.org/abs/2607.09851 In this work, we conducted a small spectroscopy survey of 32 FGK stars that all host brown dwarf companions. This host star sample includes 14 brown dwarf companions that have already obtained or incoming JWST data.

I'm packing up orders this week and responding to commission requests! Heads up there are a couple yarn bowl spots left, here's some inspo 💫 #sciart amyraehill.shop/products/cus...

Holiday commissions open on Saturday, 10am PT ✨ All commission info here: amyraehill.com/commissions Can't wait to see what ideas you have in store!!

Ornaments coming 🤖 #sciart

The LAMAT summer research is taking applications! I have been a mentor for LAMAT twice and it's a great program to be a part of, so encourage folks to apply and be a part of this! @blackinastro.bsky.social @aascsma.bsky.social #BlackInAstro Link: lamat.ucsc.edu/about/

Next Wed 11/4, Ella Sciamma-O'Brien & Lora Jovanovic of NASA Ames, James Mang (UT Austin), and I are leading a JWebbinar on how to use the Optical Constants Database for your science. Learn to run atmospheric models using the most up-to-date lab data! Join and share! www.stsci.edu/contents/eve...

Bought a new plant 🪴. Even though my friends told me no lol. But it’s pink and an Alocasia!!

Reminder that ExoExplorer applications are due tomorrow Oct15th! It’s a great opportunity to share your science and grow your professional network! science.nasa.gov/astrophysics...

Guest lecturing today on direct imaging and some demographics for @jjfplanet.bsky.social !😃

Weather forecast: cloudy! Using the James Webb Space Telescope, Steward Observatory astronomer @bemiles.bsky.social watched WISE 0855, the coldest known brown dwarf, and tracked water clouds moving and changing over time: bit.ly/47VN9Hm

Transitioning from ADS to SciX to serve twenty-first century astronomy ☄️

Happy #BiVisibilityDay!

Apply Apply Apply!

If @science.org is covering it, I guess I should share something here- we have for the first time definitively detected radio emission from a planet around another star! 🔭🧪🎢 What does this mean? Details in thread! (But TL;DR- still not aliens) 🧵 www.sciencenews.org/article/exop...

Periplus, a mentorship collective serving US-based early-career writers of color, is now accepting applications for our 2027 class of fellows! Apply by Oct. 11: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... You can learn more about Periplus (including fellowship eligibility requirements) at bit.ly/periplusfaq

#NASARoman activated the Wide Field Instrument—a 300-megapixel infrared camera that will allow it to explore wide swaths of the cosmos quickly. This test image captures the very first photons of starlight to reach the instrument—taken as an initial performance assessment: https://go.nasa.gov/4rg4qEc

New Yorkers should know whether the apartment they’re looking at is real. That’s why we’re working to require apartment listings to clearly disclose when images and videos have been generated by AI. Finding a home in New York is hard enough without artificially generating more problems.

The fired result 🔥 Congrats Malik! @blackinastro.bsky.social

A nice day out on Mars

Struggling but practicing lol.

This morning's launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope from the Kennedy Space Center was amazing! Roman is now on a million-mile journey to Lagrange point 2, where it will soon reveal the universe’s darkest secrets: https://go.nasa.gov/4qIa69I #NASARoman 🔭 Credit: J. Barrientes/STScI.

Talked science for 3 hours during one day of OWL and got great science ideas!

NSF just announced its GRFP solicitation due in October - deadline varies by field: www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo... Now for the bad news... * NSF estimates they will issue 1,500 awards, down from 2,500+ last year. * NSF removed STEM Education and Learning Research as a Major Field.

My stellar abundance paper is finally published! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...

The night sky is a highway for migrating birds, so what happens when it stops being dark? 🌙 The Federal Communications Commission recently greenlit the launch & operation of a test satellite for a company called Reflect Orbital. Read more from @nbcnews.com: abcbirds.info/4i9qw8P

Had an amazing time at Spectroscopy Summer Camp 🏕️ in Yosemite this week. Met so many awesome folks doing spectroscopy and learned so much! Truly a special conference that I’ll never forget.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share a new paper that we have accepted in ApJ where we constrain the amount of energy required to reproduce the T inversion on the Y dwarf W1935. The manuscript is on arXiv and you can check it out here: url.usb.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/yFVvC7Dqom...

Reworking a past teapot design for Malik, winner of the @blackinastro.bsky.social Art Contest!

So incredibly proud of my student Citlali Alcala who presented her work as a LAMAT fellow this Summer. We worked on a Spitzer variability project and I had THE best time working with her. Looking forward to many good things in store for her!

Commissions open tomorrow! But how do I even order one!? You ask Well here’s everything you need to know! (skip to ALL details: amyraehill.com/commissions)

Congratulations to our Undergraduate and Graduate Research Showcase winners and thank you to everyone who participated this year 😊😊

Introducing the Team Science Accelerator: RCSA's new program funding interdisciplinary teams up to $1M to tackle high-risk, high-reward science — plus coaching & mentoring to build effective teaming skills. Letters of interest due Nov 9, 2026. More: wp.me/pgj04D-aPK

⭐️ Restock & Commissions Announcement ⭐️ August 15th, 10am PT Mark your calendars, it's gonna be a good sized drop. Plus, commissions opening! Hanging Planters are now a custom option!! Amyraehill.com/commissions Stay tuned for the full listing preview 🌝

Officially been a postdoc for a year! How did a year go by so fast?!

This brown dwarf conference I've been planning is next week, I'm very excited and nervous lol. A year+ in the making, I hope it goes well.

As a graduation present, I give my PhD students posters based on their research. I have a few examples shown here (Dr. Pa Chia Thao and Dr. Reilly Milburn). These are done by PhD student and artist Isabel Lopez Murillo: analopezmurillo.github.io 🧪🔭⭐🎨
