Georges Aad is first author of hundreds of publications. Whenever the ATLAS collaboration (~3000 people) publishes something it's Aad et al, excluding the time when Morad Aaboud was a PhD student in ATLAS.

Similarly, CMS papers are Armen Tumasyan et al. because he is the one collaborator from Armenia and CMS sorts by country first. If someone in e.g. Argentina joins they will be first author.

Aardvark as last name would make someone first author in two of the five largest particle physics collaborations:

ATLAS has Aad
CMS has Armenia
LHCb has Aaij.
ALICE has Acharya
Belle II has Abudinén
 
I trust she's not using that telescope to confirm the sun's still there! (You all knew that anyway, didn't you, but just in case...)
