Steven J GibbonsThe obligatory train window view of the <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a> radio telescope. When I was a child I always assumed I would end up working somewhere like that. I guess I wasn’t far off :)

Dr. Juande Santander-VelaA research team has used the Effelsberg and Jodrell Bank radio telescopes to observe the precessing magnetar XTE J1810-197 — a highly magnetised and ultra-dense neutron star — shortly after its X-ray enhanced activity and radio reactivation. This precession damped on a timescale of a few months, which challenges some models used to explain the origin of the mysterious repeating fast radio bursts.<a href="https://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/pressreleases/2024/7" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/pressreleases/2024/7</a><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/FRB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FRB</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/magnetars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#magnetars</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Effelsberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Effelsberg</a>

Steven J GibbonsThe <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a> radio telescope with a sort of pseudo-KH phenomenon behind.

IFR (she/her)As anticipated, The Boy had a whale of a time at <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a>, and the weather was kind to us too. We got home, he had his tea, then asked if he could go to bed. “Nice time telescope grandma. Me go bed now.”He’s flat out already. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/grandson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grandson</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/JDG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JDG</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/LovellTelescope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LovellTelescope</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ToddlerLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ToddlerLife</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Cheshire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cheshire</a>

IFR (she/her)This was <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a> in 2013. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/NewOrder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewOrder</a> played live and used the dish as a projection screen. This is one of the photos I took. They projected the face of <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/IanCurtis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IanCurtis</a> onto it whilst playing Love Will Tear Us Apart at the end, but I couldn’t get a photo of that as I was too busy getting all emotional. 😢

IFR (she/her)I am taking The Boy to <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a> tomorrow. It’s been about four years since I last visited. He loves all things <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Space</a> and I can’t wait to see his face when he sees the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/LovellTelescope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LovellTelescope</a>.

Graham himself was in fine form and made only one "simple" request: find out <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/pulsars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pulsars</a> work! <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Happy100" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Happy100</a>

Eamonn KerinsGreat to be out at <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a> this afternoon to record for the <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/BBCWorldService" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BBCWorldService</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/CrowdScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CrowdScience</a> programme with presenter Marnie Chesterton and producer Phil Sansom. The weather played ball, so we were able to record outside. However, the <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/woodpeckers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woodpeckers</a> were determined to be heard! The program, on the <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/DrakeEquation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DrakeEquation</a> and the possibility of life elsewhere in the <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Galaxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Galaxy</a>, should appear in mid April on the BBC World Service and on BBC Sounds.

Cees BassaIt has been great catching up with friends and colleagues in Cheshire, at <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a> and the <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/SKAO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SKAO</a>. My first work related trip abroad since 2019.

ChrislintottIt may be six months away, but I'm very excited to be on the bill for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bluedot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bluedot</a> at <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a> in July. It really is the most extraordinary festival with plenty of astro goodness and music <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Astrodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrodon</a>

ChrislintottAstonishing visit to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a> yesterday, where the new visitors’ centre is breathtaking, including digital projections onto pieces of the original <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/telescope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#telescope</a> surface. Completely worth a visit - & the Lovell itself was glorious in the winter twilight.

StargazingGoatIn 1966, USSR's Luna 9 probe sent the first photos ever taken from the surface of the <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moon</a>.

Using equipment borrowed from a local newspaper, they were able to not only decode the pictures, but published them before the Soviets did!<a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/astrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/astrodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrodon</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/spaceexploration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spaceexploration</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a>Source: <a href="https://jalopnik.com/that-time-the-brits-hacked-the-first-picture-from-the-m-1839173106" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jalopnik.com/that-time-the-brits-hacked-the-first-picture-from-the-m-1839173106</a>

Dr Robert MinchinI made an <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> a couple of weeks ago, but there are more people around now, so here's an introduction to my <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a>. I have mainly worked on <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/RadioAstronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RadioAstronomy</a> surveys of neutral hydrogen in the local universe. In my early career, I was part of the HIPASS survey with the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Parkes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Parkes</a> telescope and the HIJASS survey with the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Lovell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lovell</a> telescope at <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/JodrellBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JodrellBank</a>, and did my <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PhD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhD</a> on the HIDEEP survey, also with Parkes. I later led the AGES and WAVES surveys with <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Arecibo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arecibo</a>. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Astrodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrodon</a> 1/2

I'm a senior lecturer in <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#physics</a> and <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> at the <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/university" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#university</a> of <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Manchester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Manchester</a>, based at <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/jodrellbank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jodrellbank</a>. I work on the detection of cool <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/exoplanets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exoplanets</a> using <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/microlensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microlensing</a>. I also lead a <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/transmission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transmission</a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/spectroscopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spectroscopy</a> survey of exoplanet <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/atmospheres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#atmospheres</a> called SPEARNET. Additionally, I've used ideas from <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/gametheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gametheory</a> to develop smart <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/SETI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SETI</a> strategies.
