Our in-house Structure and Evolution model for Rocky Planet INTeriors (SERPINT) is accepted in ApJ! Now on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2501.09963. For GJ 486b, magma ocean cooling releases water, forming a water-rich atmosphere during early solidification. Congratulations to @astrocks_
Just read an interesting article in ApJS about Pathfinder, a machine learning tool for literature review and knowledge discovery in astronomy. It enables semantic searches using natural language, moving beyond traditional keyword-based methods! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384…

Excited to announce that Prof. Ewine van Dishoeck, 2018 Kavli Prize winner in Astrophysics & former IAU President (2018-2021), will visit NISER Bhubaneswar! Join us for her institute colloquium on Nov 14, 2024. A unique chance to learn from one of the leading voices in astronomy!
Great news for Far-Infrared astrophysics!
I’m super excited that NASA selected the far-infrared @PRIMAprobe as one of two probe missions to proceed to phase A, the other being X-ray @AXISprobe. Either one would be the next general NASA astrophysics observatory after @NASARoman in the 2030s! nasa.gov/news-release/n…
