We’re back after coffee, and jump right into star-planet interaction with Babatunde Akinsanmi talking to us about the tidal deformation and atmosphere of WASP-12 b.
WASP-12 b is one of the ultra-hot Jupiter orbiting close to the Roche limit, being tidally deformed by the host star.
One can measure the tidal deformation with light curves because the shape affects the shape of the curve.
Also, the phase-curve varies! This is super cool 🥹
#JetStream will get faster as #climatechange continues
Research suggests that as the world warms, the fastest upper-level jet stream #winds will get faster and faster—by about 2% for every degree Celsius the world warms. The fastest winds will speed up 2.5x faster than average wind. They strongly influence weather on the ground—especially temperature, winds and weather as well as occurrence of severe storms, tornadoes, hail and severe wind. https://phys.org/news/2023-12-jet-stream-faster-climate.html#globalheating#climatecrisis
#Ironman70.3 #NewYork done: non-stop #rain and 25 mph #winds with tailwind for half of the course and half with headwind (including the final 4 miles of the run). Brutal and memorable 😱🌦️
A #shoutout to my #supporters who came to the #race under these awful conditions... I owe you a dry sauna session at least 😜😜
I received the message below via email from the City of Palm Springs. Best wishes to those in the area.
RESIDENTS URGED TO PREPARE FOR POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF HURRICANE HILARY
Storm expected to drop up to 5 - 7 inches of rain in lower desert
Sandbags available at all five fire stations
With Hurricane Hilary strengthening rapidly and predicted to move into the Coachella Valley this weekend, the City of Palm Springs is urging all residents to prepare for potentially dangerous storm impacts that include rain, flooding, and high winds.
The National Weather Service is expecting the storm could bring as much as five inches of rain to Palm Springs, with as much as seven to nine inches in the San Jacinto Mountains that could potentially lead to severe mountain run-off. Some showers are predicted on Saturday, with heavier rainfall predicted across the Coachella Valley on Sunday and through the evening. The heaviest rainfall is predicted on Monday morning.
Nothing like having to come in on your day off due to #severe#weather.
A severe #thunderstorms with #winds up to 80 mph is passing through southern #Pine County and southern #Burnett County through 4:30 p.m.
Anyone south of Highway 70 should seek a safe place.
Meanwhile, a severe thunderstorm #watch remains in effect for Pine, Burnett, #Washburn, and #Sawyer counties until 10 p.m. for possible #hail and high winds.
"The #ExtremeWeather sweeping across Asia has claimed more victims, with #SouthKorea and #Japan reporting deaths from the sweltering #heat and authorities in both countries issuing alerts this week.
Coming on the heels of #Doksuri, #TyphoonKhanun is churning through Japan’s southernmost #Okinawa prefecture, unleashing powerful #winds and heavy #rain on Wednesday and triggering more alerts."
