I’m thrilled to share that I have been awarded a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, to work on “The Local Environments of Supernova Siblings”, starting in September! 🌟Thank you to everyone who has supported me! 🌌

theguardian.com/politics/artic… Promise is one thing, funding is another, but even then we need actually to deliver useful schemes instead of putting literal barriers in front of cyclists like @SouthamptonCC did on Glen Eyre Road...

This is a really neat paper. Very distant supernovae appear to explode more slowly because they're moving away from us, and relativity slows time down. We can use this as a probe of cosmology!

Look how pretty our @theDESurvey supernova light curves are!

Next we have the light curves and data release paper led by Bruno Sánchez @BrunoSanchez63. All the data are public and we'd love other people to use it! (Image from key paper showing the light curves!) arxiv.org/abs/2406.05046

Photos so good they're worth tweeting. Me having the best time on the @centurionrunner South Downs Way 100 Miles, somewhere on Ditchling Beacon (mile 70 or so), preparing for the night shift and a cracking downhill section. Best part was the next checkpoint had soup and coffee.

Excited to have released SIX new papers from the Dark Energy Supernova team yesterday! Time varying dark energy?!, gravitational lensing, time dilation, H0, dust & the data release. Explainer videos will drop each day this week, first is the key paper 🧵youtube.com/watch?v=y9ocwG…

Really proud of the @theDESurvey supernova group with a second batch of papers including full data release (former @DukePhysics postdoc @BrunoSanchez63 et al.), new studies on weak lensing of supernovae (Shah et al.), an inverse distance ladder measurement (Camilleri, @tamarastro…

Great to see @astro_pwise awarded an @STFC_Matters Ernest Rutherford Fellowship! 🎉 Last year Dr Wiseman discovered the largest cosmic explosion ever witnessed. This fellowship will support him to search for more explosions and to understand what causes them.

I'm very happy to have been selected as an @STFC_Matters Ernest Rutherford Fellow. Grateful for the opportunity to spend the next 5 years uncovering the causes and consequences of the largest explosions in the Universe! @unisouthampton @AstroPhysSoton @LSSTUK
