A different paper for me: we investigate sonic representations to rapidly inspect spectra and datacubes! Listen to the shift and broadening of a spectral line across a galaxy in MUSE data: this tells us about gas rotation and black hole outflows. 🌌🔭🎧

...and now more complex - top 5 parties, also with volume ➡️ total share.
Sonification allows new perspectives on data, and accessible channels to data for people with visual impairments or non-visual learning styles.
Can you hear the peaks and relative changes? (2/3)...
These were all made using STRAUSS - our free and open-source python library for sonifying data and exploring data with sound. You can find out more about STRAUSS at audiouniverse.org/research/s… !
Had a great time at #CAP2024 in Toulouse! Amazing people and projects, and a chance to demo our sonification on the big IMAX set up. Flight was cancelled and stuck in Toulouse over the weekend, not so bad... @CAPconference

Loving the ingenuity of this early explorer maxing out the audio of R Aquarii (symbiotic star) at @soundscenefest Light curve data has been sonified with field recordings, sustained notes + chords using STRAUSS software (@trayfud) to generate a dynamic star-listening experience.
Check out our new showreel for the STRAUSS code! A glimpse into some of the things that we can do to explore data with sound. We're looking to explore data outside astronomy too. Try out the code (audiouniverse.org/research/s…), or get in touch if interested! youtu.be/h1muFAEMmOs?si=vFqr…
Had a lot of fun talking sonification, accessibility and how sound might give us all new perspectives on the Universe. See our chat at the UN for #ZeroCon24 last week! youtu.be/VzxZ_ucEsbA?si=jImh…
Great to see this very neat application of our STRAUSS sonification code! Find out more here: audiouniverse.org/research/s… & arxiv.org/abs/2311.16847
The brilliant @pekingspring has built an experiment trying to see if you can hear planets. Have a go here: zooniverse.org/projects/eaty… cc @stevepretty @miltonline
Check out Chris's brilliant rundown of a year in JWST images to celebrate the incredible new anniversary release: esa.int/Science_Exploration/…
🚨Today marks 1 Year of #JWST Images!🚨
Celebrate by looking back on the best ones right here, before we get a brand new image in a couple of hours! 🔭🌌🚀

Great to see sonification of astronomy published in RASTI. Presented by James Trayford @EAS_meeting this morning.@RAS_Journals @RoyalAstroSoc – at Krakow, Poland

@AishGirdhar’s second talk this morning on the Audio Universe 🎼🪐
Yesterday we heard about low powered radio jets 📡
@AstroObsNCL @CMHarrisonAstro #NAM2023
Press release about our recent paper out today! Slipped this into the talk I just gave at #ICAD2023, talking to sound experts. Thanks for having me, @ICAD_official ! port.ac.uk/news-events-and-b…
If you're interested, see also our explainer vid on listening to IFU data! youtube.com/watch?v=Z0rsZiIq…
All of this was achieved using our STRAUSS code, a free and open-source python code, providing a general sonification toolkit. This work is funded with a new UKRI grant, in collaboration with @CMHarrisonAstro @SamanthaYoules @coffee_samurai @AishGirdhar audiouniverse.org/research/s…
