We present deep, medium-resolution $\lambda=1-5\,\mu$m JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy for 14 quiescent galaxies at $3<z<5$ with $\log_{10}(M_*/\mathrm{M_\odot}){\,>\,}10$, obtained as part of the EXCELS survey. We perform a complete re-reduction…
NGC 4395 is a nearby dwarf spiral galaxy hosting an active galactic nucleus (AGN) powered by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH, $M_{\rm BH} \sim 10^{4}$--$10^{5}\,M_\odot$). Recent optical continuum reverberation mapping studies have…
The longstanding cusp-core problem--the discrepancy between the steep central density cusps predicted by cold dark matter (DM) simulations and certain shallow cores observed in dwarf galaxies, in particular the associated diversity of inner…
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Cycle 3 observations of 73 starless and protostellar cores in the Orion B North molecular cloud. We detect a total of 34 continuum sources at 106 GHz, and after comparisons with…
We present the results of AGN--host-galaxy decomposition using JWST/NIRCam, HST/ACS, and HST/WFC3 imaging of the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field (NEP-TDF). The light-profiles of 36 NIRCam-selected AGN candidates are modeled for…
Supermassive black holes (SMBH, $M_{\rm{BH}} > 10^8 M_\odot$) powering luminous quasars already exist one billion years after the Big Bang, yet their connection to their star-forming host galaxies, their relation to the general galaxy…
A kinematic analysis of the young stellar association TWHya has been performed. The components of the displacement matrix in the Ogorodnikov-Milne linear model have been estimated both graphically and by solving the basic kinematic…
We present the final 1.2mm and 2mm source catalogs and the redshift distribution of the mm-selected population from the NIKA2 Cosmological Legacy Survey (N2CLS) in the COSMOS field. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive dataset for studying…
We aim to characterize the thermodynamic and dynamical conditions leading to condensation in cluster cores, and to assess the role of magnetic fields. We implement a Monte-Carlo tracer particle algorithm in the GPU-accelerated code…
Precession is a very common phenomenon for small-scale astronomical objects. However, the precession of galactic disks, occurring on a scale larger than kilo-parsec, has barely been studied in the literature. Quantifying this precession in…
We have examined the stellar structure of 10 nearby, low stellar mass (10^6 to 6 x 10^7 Msolar) dwarf irregular galaxies by fitting ellipses as a function of surface brightness on ultra-deep V images. These are compared to far ultraviolet…
The Nuclear Bulge of the Milky Way harbors stellar populations that provide crucial insights into galaxy formation processes and serve as a nearby analog for understanding bulge formation in external galaxies. However, detailed studies of…
In the hierarchical paradigm of galaxy formation, central massive black holes (MBHs) are expected to coalesce after the merger of their host galaxies. One of the main goals of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is to constrain…
Variability in active galactic nuclei (AGN) probes the physics of accretion onto supermassive black holes. This variability is characterized using metrics derived from the flux distributions of temporally separated epochs. We studied the…
Interstellar dust has been detected in situ flowing through the heliosphere. However, our ability to derive the density and size distribution of the interstellar dust in the local interstellar medium from this directly detected dust…
We investigate stellar mass and central dark matter density profiles of photometric luminous red galaxies with stellar masses of $\sim10^{10}-10^{12}M_\odot$ using weak gravitational lensing measurements from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru…
We use the FLAMINGO galaxy formation model to quantify the impact of baryon-CDM isocurvature perturbations on galaxy formation in $\Lambda$CDM. In linear theory, these perturbations represent local, compensated variations in the ratio…
$\omega$~Centauri, the most massive globular cluster in the Milky Way, exhibits a level of stellar population complexity that has long resisted a unified chemical characterisation. We exploit high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy from…
Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) standardisation parameters exhibit evidence for systematic variation across the host galaxy star-formation rate - stellar mass (SFR$-M_\star$) plane, motivating the incorporation of galaxy SFR information in…
Galaxy physical properties are influenced by their environments, but the processes responsible for mass and environmental quenching and structural transformations remain debated. Galaxy clusters are ideal laboratories for investigating…
