First #AAS235 press conference "Galaxies & Their Black Holes" streaming in 15 minutes at aas.org/press/AAS-pres…, topics at aas.org/meetings/aas23…
The first presentation at the first #AAS235 press conference was about the paper arxiv.org/abs/1909.04670 on "A New Sample of (Wandering) Massive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies from High Resolution Radio Observations".
The Molecular Gas in the NGC 6240 Merging Galaxy System at the Highest Spatial Resolution - dropbox.com/sh/vd7raj123rs… and also arxiv.org/abs/1910.12967 and davidaustria.tumblr.com/post/119674013… and public.nrao.edu/news/the-turbu… - was the topic of the second presentation of the first #AAS235 presser.
A Hubble view of of the giant spiral galaxy UGC 2885 a.k.a. the "Godzilla Galaxy" a.k.a. "Rubin's galaxy" - hubblesite.org/contents/news-… and nasa.gov/feature/goddar… and - was topic #3 of #AAS235 presser #1 (apparently no paper coming with this pretty picture).
Finally the farthest galaxy group identified to date, a trio of galaxies called EGS77 dating to a time when the universe was only 680 million years old - nasa.gov/feature/goddar… and svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13511 - was the final topic of #AAS235 press conference #1 (paper coming soon).
Re. Godzilla's or Rubin's Galaxy, UGC 2885, in lieu of a paper here is a detailled thread by the Hubble observer, with some unusual backstory:
The 2nd #AAS235 press conference is now streaming on aas.org/press/AAS-pres…, about the AIP National Task Force to Elevate African American Representation in Undergraduate Physics & Astronomy (TEAM-UP): aas.org/meetings/aas23…
Task Force Recommendations Outline Changes Needed to Increase African American Physics and Astronomy Students: aip.org/news/2020/team… - press release coming with the on-going 2nd #AAS235 presser. A third one will be today at 0:15 UTC: "Seminar for Science Writers: Hubble @ 30".
And now streaming on aas.org/press/AAS-pres… a Seminar for Science Writers: Hubble @ 30 - not a press conference with new findings but a look back and ahead to Hubble's, gasp, fourth decade: aas.org/meetings/aas23…
What the @HubbleTelescope has done for solar system science, from the on-going #AAS235 seminar presentation by "live-long Hubble hugger" @hbhammel - add to this support for in-situ space missions in multiple different ways.
@HubbleTelescope @hbhammel From @ray_villard's talk at the #AAS235 seminar: what @NASAHubble image proceessing is about, unplanned (red) vs. expected achievements - and a surprise reference to the Independence Day sequel in which Hubble is a totally familiar term, w/o 'NASA' or 'space telescope' attached.
