Lucas Brown, graduate student at Tufts University, has updated the iconic pulsar map originally seen on the Voyager golden record to include the pulsars from NANOGrav's data sets. Check out this great way to visualize our data! You can see how much the array has grown over the years 🔭🧪
NANOGrav congratulates the LISA Consortium on ESA’s approval, advancing the space-based LISA gravitational wave observatory. We look forward to exploring the gravitational universe alongside LVK Consortium and LISA 🔭
We are pleased to announce that Ross Jennings is the "Hero of NANOGrav" for the month of January! 🔭

Today at #AAS243 🔭
#AAS243 Astrobiter @astrolamb.bsky.social will be presenting his research at 10am today!
He'll be talking about distinguishing between an astrophysical and cosmological origin to the gravitational wave background seen by @nanograv.bsky.social and other pulsar timing arrays!
Day 1 #AAS243 summaries are up! If you missed anything yesterday or are following along from afar, we’ve got you covered 👍🏻⭐️

Congratulations!
Lots of NANOGrav talks and posters tomorrow, including a Special Session in room 226 starting at 2PM. We hope to see you there! #AAS243 🔭🧪

Have you stopped by the new Gravitational Wave booth at #AAS243 yet? Come say hi to NANOGrav, LIGO, and LISA! #AAS243 🔭
Good morning AAS! Steve Taylor is starting off the day with the Kavli Plenary 🔭
Don’t miss the Kavli Planetary Lecture at AAS243 by NANOGrav chair Dr. Stephen Taylor. There are also many other NANOGrav talks tomorrow and all week long 🔭

Good point. Submitted form. Thanks!
With support from the AAS, Astronomy on Tap will host what is likely to be their biggest event *ever* during #AAS243 in New Orleans.
Tuesday night, Jan 9, at an incredible venue: Republic NOLA, directly across from the convention center:

A black and white photo of Jocelyn Bell Burnell looking at a printout in front of the large radio dish she used. She is wearing cat's-eye glasses with her brown hair pulled back. Her head is turned towards the camera and she is smiling.
The printout where Bell and Hewish noticed the regular signal associated with the pulsar.It is a green-yellow graph paper with a staticky red line showing occasional spikes. There are hand annotations labeling the spikes and recording the time and date of each one.
Jocelyn Bell Burnell transformed astronomy OTD in 1967 when she made the first observation of a pulsar.
She and advisor Antony Hewish initially dubbed the object LGM-1 (“Little Green Men”) for its regular signal, but soon identified it as a rotating, magnetized neutron star. 🔭 🧪 👩🔬
The cover of the Joy Division album "Unknown Pleasures." It features a white "stack plot" on a black background. The lines, which record data from a radio telescope, form what looks like a mountain range.
The image on the cover of the Joy Division album "Unknown Pleasures" is from a plot that radio astronomer Harold Craft made for his PhD dissertation, using data collected at Arecibo while studying the pulsar Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered OTD in 1967.🧪 🔭 👩🔬
We are pleased to announce that Joe Simon is our NANOGrav Hero for the month of November!
I tried my hand at some large scale outreach. It was frankly a bit unnerving 🤪 But thanks to the folks at WIRED is was really fun!

This is fantastic, Jeff!
Emmanuel Fonseca at SACNAS: on a panel and during the GWA special session. We also had people at the shared Gravitational Wave Astronomy booth!
Hellooooo!
