We present a multiband study of FRB 20180916B, a repeating source with a 16.3 day periodicity. We report the detection of 4, 1 and 7 bursts from observations spanning 3 days using upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (300-500 MHz),…

We study the resonance line emission from the rotating plane optically thick accretion disc, consisting of free electrons and resonant atoms. We use the standard assumption that the source of continuum radiation is located near central…

The bands of diatomic molecules are important abundance indicators, especially in metal-poor stars, where they are still measurable in metallicity regimes where the atomic lines of their constituting metallic elements have become…

We analyze and fit visible spectra of a red horizon at sunrise. The shape of the spectra consist of a blue continuum followed by a red bump. The reddest spectra are well fitted by the product of a spectrum of extinguished sunlight (Rayleigh…

JWST has revealed a population of compact galaxies in the early Universe with broad emission lines and strong Balmer breaks; among them the so-called ''little red dots'' (LRDs). Their nature remains uncertain with hypotheses including…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been an enigma since their discovery forty years ago. However, considerable progress unraveling their mysteries has been made in recent years. Developments in observations, theory, and instrumentation have…

We report on the detection of a molecular band centered at ~98 um (~102 cm^-1), observed with the Infrared Space Observatory in the young Planetary Nebula NGC7027. The band structure and intensity can not be reproduced by atomic fine…

The origin of large and small particle axial bands in long rotating tumblers is a long-standing question. Using DEM simulations, we show that this axial segregation is due to a Rayleigh-Taylor instability which is characterized by the fact…

The origin of the rest-optical emission of compact, red, high-redshift sources known as `little red dots' (LRDs) poses a major puzzle. If interpreted as starlight, it would imply that LRDs would constitute the densest stellar systems in the…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are traditionally classified into long (lGRBs) and short (sGRBs) durations based on their $T_{90}$, with lGRBs widely used as tracers of the cosmic star formation rate (SFR) due to their observed association with…
