We present MIRI/JWST medium resolution spectroscopy (MRS) and imaging (MIRIM) of B14-65666, a Lyman-break and interacting galaxy at redshift $z$=7.15. We detect the H$\alpha$ line emission in this system, revealing a spatially-resolved…

We report interferometric imaging of [CII] and OH emission toward the center of the galaxy protocluster associated with the z=5.3 submillimeter galaxy (SMG) AzTEC-3, using the Atacama Large (sub)Millimeter Array (ALMA). We detect strong…

Two different simple measurements of galaxy star formation rate with different timescales are compared empirically on $156,395$ fiber spectra of galaxies with $r<17.77$ mag taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in the redshift range…

We present new, multi-wavelength, high-resolution imaging of the luminous, submillimeter galaxy, SMM J14011+0252, an interacting starburst at z = 2.56. Our observations comprise optical imaging from the HST, sensitive radio mapping from the…

Star-forming galaxies can reach quiescence via rapid transition through merger-triggered starbursts that consequently affect both their kinematics and star formation rates. In this work, we analyze the spatially resolved kinematics of 89…

J1044+0353 is considered a local analog of the young galaxies that ionized the intergalactic medium at high-redshift due to its low mass, low metallicity, high specific star formation rate, and strong high-ionization emission lines. We use…

Subdwarf B stars are core-helium burning stars located on the extreme horizontal branch. Extensive mass loss on the red giant branch is necessary to form them. It has been proposed that substellar companions could lead to the required…

The merger of two spiral galaxies is believed to be one of the main channels for the production of elliptical and early-type galaxies. In the process, the system becomes an (ultra) luminous infrared galaxy, or (U)LIRG, that morphs to a…

To investigate what drives the reversal of the morphology-density relation at intermediate/high redshift, we present a multi-wavelength analysis of 27 dusty starburst galaxies in the massive cluster Cl 0024+17 at z = 0.4. We combine H-alpha…

We present deep single-dish HI observations of a sample of six nearby E+A galaxies (0.05<z<0.1). A non-negligible fraction of a local sample of E+As are detected in HI. In four galaxies, we have detected up to a few times 10^9 Msun of…

A search for H3+ line emission, reported to have been detected toward the young star HD 141569A and possibly originating in a clump of planet-forming gas orbiting the star, has yielded negative results. Observations made at the United…

We investigate the optical and Wide-field Survey Explorer (WISE) colors of "E+A" identified post-starburst galaxies, including a deep analysis on 190 post-starbursts detected in the 2{\mu}m All Sky Survey Extended Source Catalog. The…

The hyper-velocity star S5-HVS1, ejected 5 Myr ago from the Galactic Center at 1800 km/s, was most likely produced by tidal break-up of a tight binary by the supermassive black hole SgrA*. Taking a Monte Carlo approach, we show that the…

PSR B1310+18A is a 33-ms binary pulsar in a 256-day, low eccentricity orbit with a low-mass companion located in NGC 5024 (M53). In this Letter, we present the first phase-coherent timing solution for this pulsar (designated as M53A)…

Recent observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed massive, evolved galaxies only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, challenging standard cosmological models. To test the hypothesis that the Galactic…

We use a purely data-driven rectified factor analysis to identify early-type galaxies with recent star formation in DR4 of the SDSS Spectroscopic Catalogue. We compare the spectra and environment of these galaxies with `normal' early-types,…
