The identification of open cluster (OC) members has been revolutionized by high-precision Gaia astrometry, yet traditional kinematic membership selections remain inherently conservative, often overlooking stars in tidal tails or those with…
We present a multiwavelength follow-up study of 621 winged radio galaxies (WRGs) recently identified from LoTSS DR2, constituting the largest statistically significant samples of X-shaped (XRGs) and Z-shaped (ZRGs) radio galaxies to date.…
The `Triangal' galaxy evolution schema is used to assess whether the Tuning Fork (bar strength) or the van~den~Bergh Trident and ATLAS$^{3D}$ Comb (spiral strength) offer greater evolutionary insight. A new catalogue of quantitative bar…
Accurate astrometric measurements for star-forming regions located on the far side of the Milky Way remain scarce. In this work, we present the astrometric results for a 22\,GHz water maser associated with star-forming region G040.96+02.48…
The environmental mechanisms driving unwinding spiral arms in cluster galaxies remain debated. While earlier studies attributed it mainly to gravitational interactions, recent works suggest that RPS alone can induce unwinding. We present a…
We present a comprehensive study of the galaxy UV luminosity function (UVLF) at $z=6-9$ leveraging deep JWST observations from the GLIMPSE survey. Thanks to gravitational lensing, we probe the UVLF to an unprecedented depth of…
The physical properties of Milky Way Mgii-bearing gas remain poorly constrained due to the saturation of the near-UV doublet. We utilize the weaker Mgii $\lambda\lambda$1239, 1240 doublet from 482 archival HST/COS extragalactic sightlines…
From the onset of observations of JWST we have discovered unexpectedly luminous galaxies at redshifts $z>10$ and as high as $z=14$. With their discovery, the question immediately followed as to where their progenitors are, since such…
The galaxy luminosity and stellar mass function (LF, SMF), and halo mass function (HMF), are fundamental quantities in astrophysics and crucial inputs to a range of astrophysical and cosmological analyses. They are typically parametrised by…
We construct mean spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for a substantial sample of 56,969 Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR16 quasars with $z < 0.75$, utilizing multiwavelength data from the mid-infrared (MIR) to ultraviolet (UV). These SEDs are…
Using \textit{Hubble Space Telescope} images from the PHAT and PHAST surveys, we construct an updated catalogue of 747 OB cluster (OBC) candidates. We introduce a dimensionless structural metric, the trace coefficient of variation ($CV_{\rm…
A rare multiple open cluster system has been analyzed using Gaia DR3 astrometry and photometry data. Using Agglomerative Hierarchical clustering and Bayesian-HDBSCAN, we identify a compact core consisting of seven known open clusters and…
Numerical simulations have established that star clusters with densities comparable to the high redshift ($z>6$-$10$) James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) proto globular clusters may build up extremely massive (EMSs; $m_\mathrm{\star}>1000…
Green valley (GV) galaxies are thought to represent a transitional population between star-forming and quiescent systems. However, their spatial distribution relative to galaxy systems remains unclear, particularly in relation to the…
Cosmological simulations of galaxy clusters are unable to resolve dwarf galaxies due to limited numerical resolution which drives the artificial disruption of dark matter substructures. We address these limitations by combining the results…
The recent detections of thioformyl cyanide (HCSCN) and propynethial (HCSCCH) in TMC-1 provide critical insights into the interstellar sulfur inventory, yet their sequestration and survivability on dust grain mantles remain poorly…
We derive explicit, algebraic expressions for the steady-state number density of cosmic ray electrons as a function of position and energy using Green's function of the diffusion equation with energy losses for an axisymmetric distributions…
Unlocking the full physical information encoded in low-resolution spectra poses a significant challenge for astronomical survey analysis. Such a task demands modeling spectra and optimizing astrophysical parameters in high-dimensional…
We present a method for constructing dynamical models of stellar systems described by distribution functions and constrained by discrete-kinematic data. We implement various improvements compared to earlier applications of this approach,…
High-Velocity Clouds (HVCs) are a major fuel reservoir for star formation in the Galactic disk. Determining their origin and kinematics is thus crucial for understanding Galactic evolution. In this paper, we employ simple test-particle…
