The inner Galactic halo is a complex graveyard of the Milky Way's earliest accretion events, where severe orbital phase-mixing challenges traditional dynamical stream-finding techniques. We present a purely data-driven, 12-dimensional…
In the current era, in which an unprecedented wealth of data is available for the study of the Milky Way, the Gaia Benchmark Stars (GBS) have become an established reference and calibration sample. Studies of stellar structure and…
The origin of the Fanaroff--Riley Class I/II (FRI/FRII) morphological dichotomy remains uncertain. We investigate whether cluster-scale environment contributes to this distinction using a morphologically classified LoTSS DR2 catalogue at…
The combination of data from the Gaia satellite and large ground-based spectroscopic surveys recently lead to a milestone understanding of our Galaxy's formation history, marked by the identification of stellar remnants of the accreted…
The Hundred-deg$^2$ HI Deep (HD$^2$) survey carried out with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) is planned to map a contiguous region within the DESI DR1 footprint, achieving an effective integration time of 20…
We present ALMA Band 7 dust continuum observations of 57 massive ($M_\ast \gtrsim 10^{10.8}~M_\odot$) star-forming galaxies at $1.45<z<1.70$, selected from the FMOS-COSMOS survey to provide a homogeneous sample near the main sequence (MS)…
Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxy populations requires robust classification and characterisation techniques that jointly account for internal galaxy properties and environment. We analyse $5,306$ galaxies from the Galaxy…
Understanding which stars explode as which type of supernovae (SNe) is crucial to measure their contribution to the metal production and feedback halting star formation. Most of the studies of the gas in the environment of SNe are limited…
Dust extinction and reddening greatly contribute to type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed color and magnitude variations. The models used to describe the extinction probability density function (PDF) are often simplistic, which can…
We compare a set of contemporary Galactic magnetic field (GMF) models with polarized synchrotron observations from the S-PASS and C-BASS radio surveys and combine them to create a reconstructed 4.76~GHz full sky map. Pixels that potentially…
$\omega$ Centauri ($\omega$ Cen, NGC 5139) is one of the most enigmatic globular clusters in the Milky Way, with the recent detection of tidal tails adding further to its complexity. We report the results of a spectroscopic study of stars…
Galaxy properties are known to correlate with their location within the cosmic web. However, the role of filaments remains poorly understood, particularly for low-mass galaxies, which are expected to be more sensitive to environmental…
An eccentric, unequal-mass binary induces forced eccentricity in a circumbinary disk through the non-axisymmetric component of its gravitational potential. Building on the theory of free (i.e., unforced) eccentric modes, we develop a…
The environment plays a key role in galaxy evolution, yet it remains unclear how detailed molecular gas properties and their connection to star formation and stellar content are influenced by both large-scale and local environments. Here we…
Context. It is well established that the cluster environment effectively quenches star formation in member galaxies. Amis. We aim to explore how the accretion path of infalling galaxies influences the cluster-driven quenching process.…
We measured the Concentration (C) index of H\alpha and CO (J = 2-1) in 17 nearby star-forming galaxies from the PHANGS survey. We have found four barred spiral galaxies with a C(H\alpha)/C(CO) ratio of ~ 0.3-0.4, while the other 13 galaxies…
Canonical theory predicts galaxies grow "inside-out", producing their observed negative radial age gradient. This picture is challenged by galaxies' `U-shaped' colour profiles -- indicating reversed age gradient -- explained by either…
We present the demography of dust attenuation, including its mass dependence and redshift evolution, using spectroscopic samples of 34,182 SDSS galaxies at $z\sim0.1$ and 863 JWST/JADES galaxies at $z\sim1.5$--$7$. We find that, on average,…
The discovery of numerous luminous, super-early galaxies at $z>10$ by JWST has revealed a striking diversity in their ultraviolet (UV) properties, ranging from extremely blue, dust-poor systems to a smaller population of significantly…
The formation timescale of the Milky Way thick disk is one of the central debates in Galactic archaeology. The age-metallicity relation (AMR), formation timescale, and chemical evolution gradients are frequently used to infer a rapid…
