Meteorite analysis shows that the older solids of the solar system, such as the calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs), have isotopic inhomogeneity. This indicates that the isotopic inhomogeneity could originate from parental molecular…

We present rotation curves and inner mass distributions for 30 star-forming galaxies at $0.5<z<1.7$, observed with JWST/NIRSpec as part of the MSA-3D Cycle 1 survey. Combining spatially resolved ionised-gas kinematics with JWST/NIRCam…

Supernova remnants (SNRs) strongly influence the physical and chemical properties of the molecular clouds (MCs) with which they interact. We carried out a high-resolution observation toward W28F, a chemically rich MC interacting with SNR…

Studying the morphology and coherence scale of the magnetic fields in synchrotron emitting halos of galaxy clusters through detection of polarized synchrotron emission is important in order to understand how they distribute relativistic…

SKA-VLBI is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the Galactic structure through its unprecedented astrometric precision and sensitivity. As a next-generation facility, it will answer long-standing questions about the Galactic…

We present a spectroscopic atlas of 887 broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the Southern sky, spanning redshifts $z < 0.1$, declinations $\delta < 0$ deg and Galactic latitudes $|b| > 10$ deg. The sample aims at being a largely…

We present the results of an effort to derive interstellar gas-phase C II abundances along the lines of sight toward rho Oph A and B. Our analysis is based on high-resolution NUV and FUV archival spectra acquired with the Space Telescope…

We report the discovery of an extremely narrow and highly collimated gaseous trail-like structure crossing the eastern region of the Veil Nebula (Cygnus Loop). The feature was first identified in deep narrow-band H-alpha images obtained by…

Massive stars and stellar clusters shape galactic evolution through powerful feedback mechanisms including radiation pressure, photoionization, stellar winds, and cosmic ray acceleration. However, their impact remains poorly understood due…

Despite its remarkable success on large scales, the standard $\Lambda$CDM paradigm faces persistent small-scale challenges that have motivated alternative models for the dark sector. Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) offers a compelling…

This chapter investigates the low-mass frontier of galaxy formation through two complementary populations: the starless Reionization-Limited HI Clouds (RELHICs) that trace the ``dark'' Universe, and the faint, gas-rich galaxies that define…

We present JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of the low-mass, metal-poor galaxy SDSS~J160135.95+311353.7 (J1601), selected for its extreme mid-infrared colors and compact nuclear emission, placing it within widely used WISE color diagnostics for…

We investigate the assembly history of early galaxies in the SEEDZ hydrodynamic simulations, to investigate the high inflow rates believed to be required for the formation of supermassive stars (SMSs), dense stellar clusters and…

We investigate the rotational properties of star-forming clusters at $z \sim 7.6$ in the high-resolution simulation MassiveBlackPS, focusing on two formation channels: clusters forming in galactic discs via gravitational instability and…

Lyman-alpha (Ly$\alpha$) radiative transfer (RT) is important in many astrophysical environments and governed by multiple physical processes. In this paper, we provide analytical formulae/procedures for the solutions to Ly$\alpha$ RT…

Hubble is still in prime observing condition for making transformative discoveries in UV astronomy. In this white paper we describe the science case for a deep (S/N>30) UV spectroscopic survey with HST/COS targeting approximately 20 QSOs at…

Environment plays a crucial role in shaping galaxy formation, yet the impact of overdensities on the internal chemical structure of galaxies at cosmic noon is still under debate. Here, we present spatially resolved gas-phase metallicity…

We report the discovery of a new Cartwheel-type collisional ring galaxy, PGC\,1112751, which we named ``Eridanus Wheel'' (EW). Such systems result from head-on collisions between galaxies and are of considerable interest as laboratories for…

We present a comprehensive study of an infrared (IR) flare in the star-forming galaxy SDSS J010320.39+140152.5, which is selected from the sample of mid-IR (MIR) outbursts in nearby galaxies (MIRONG). Its MIR luminosity rose rapidly to a…

We analyze the rest-frame optical (~8000 {\AA}) morphologies and star formation activity of Ly{\alpha} emitters (LAEs) at redshifts $2.4$, $3.1$, and $4.5$, identified in the ODIN survey. To compare their physical properties with those of…
