The original H-alpha discovery image below, demonstrating the huge improvement from MUSE!

An amazing result using some beautiful MUSE data!

In my Master’s project I found this bow shock while searching for the remnants of nova explosions in H-alpha imaging with the Issac Newton Telescope. Great to see all the hard the work the team have put in since to bring this to publication!

Limits on the atmospheric metallicity and aerosols of the sub-Neptune GJ 3090 b from high-resolution CRIRES+ spectroscopy The sub-Neptune planets have no solar system analogues, and their low bulk densities suggest thick atmospheres containing degenerate quantities of volatiles and H/He, surrounding cores of unknown size...

You can read more about how high resolution spectroscopy can constrain sub-Neptune atmospheres (and provide constraints that are comparable with JWST…) in the paper we published this year! (ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2025MNRA...)
