Haven't been here in a while, but I'm happy to share that I recently completed my PhD in Astronomy and will be heading to Yale next month as a YCAA Prize Postdoctoral Fellow! I can't wait to discover lots of new planets and friends :)

question for astronomers: what textbooks do you consider essential reads? what do you go back and reread regularly?
