The so-called galaxy--halo connection is a vast topic concerning
how galaxies populate their host dark matter halos. I will
present some works we have made under this grand theme, including
(1) the detection of assembly bias signal with the help of...
Turbulence transfers energy from larger to smaller scales,
wherein kinetic processes culminate in dissipation. In the context
of the weakly collisional, multi-species solar wind, grasping the
fundamental processes that facilitate energy exchange...
By precisely measuring the motions stars on the sky over time,
the Gaia mission is conducting a comprehensive census of the Milky
Way's binary stars. These data are transformative both for
population modeling and for discovery of rare objects. I...
The DESI galaxy survey has recently placed the tightest
constraint on the sum of neutrino masses to date. For such effects
“below the detection limit”, where data can only infer upper
bounds, Bayesian and frequentist methods can give important...
Abstract: The holographic principle states that
in the limit of a large number of degrees of freedom, some quantum
systems give rise to an emergent gravitational spacetime with one
more dimension. What are these quantum systems, and which
properties...
Over the past 30 years, nearly 6000 exoplanets have been
discovered, revealing a remarkable diversity of planetary systems.
Essential information about the formation of these systems can be
found in their current architectures, as they serve as a...
