The BOWIE seminar is an online exoplanet seminar highlighting exoplanet science. It is run by and showcases the work of professional astronomers. Being able to post to the feeds would allow us to get information about the talks to the community and circulate recordings.

The First Dedicated Survey of Atmospheric Escape from Planets Orbiting Hot Stars
YouTube video by BOWIE+ Seminars The First Dedicated Survey of Atmospheric Escape from Planets Orbiting Hot Stars

A great talk by final-year PhD candidate Morgan Saidel about atmospheric escape from hot Jupiters around F stars, and what we can learn from a large survey of these planets. #astronomy #exoplanets

VIRGA v2.0: Fractal Aggregate Clouds in Warm Neptunes, Hot Jupiters and Brown Dwarfs
YouTube video by BOWIE+ Seminars VIRGA v2.0: Fractal Aggregate Clouds in Warm Neptunes, Hot Jupiters and Brown Dwarfs

Cows aren't often spherical and neither are aerosols. Final-year PhD student Matt Lodge has investigated how non-spherical aerosols in exoplanet atmospheres impact their transmission spectra. Listen to him explain the implications here. #astronomy #exoplanets

Thermal Dissociation and SiO in the Ultra-Hot Jupiter WASP-121b
YouTube video by BOWIE+ Seminars Thermal Dissociation and SiO in the Ultra-Hot Jupiter WASP-121b

The care that has to be taken when analyzing transmission spectra of ultra-hot Jupiters due to 3D effects is always really fascinating. Here is Cyril Gapp's recent talk on his work on the ultra-hot WASP-121b and the cool things going on in its atmosphere.
