The detailed 3D distributions of dust density and extinction in
the Milky Way have long been sought after. However, such 3D
reconstruction from sparse data is non-trivial, but is essential to
understanding the properties of star-formation, large...
Radio lobes from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are a source of
fossil cosmic-ray (CR) electrons within the intracluster medium
(ICM), which may be re-accelerated and emit in the radio band. The
re-acceleration of this fossil material is often linked...
Stellar and substellar companions are thought to play a crucial
role in shaping the formation and migration of the inner planets.
However, the 3D orbital architecture of these systems, including
the mutual inclination between inner planets and outer...
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the most intriguing mysteries
in modern astronomy, with their origins remaining elusive even 17
years after their discovery. Theories explaining FRBs span a wide
range, from catastrophic events to more persistent...
The evolution of satellite galaxies is an unsolved problem in
galaxy formation. Recent observations such as the SAGA and ELVES
surveys find tension in HI contents and star formation of
satellites around their central host galaxies when compared
to...
Superradiant instabilities may create clouds of ultralight
bosons around rotating black holes, forming so-called
"gravitational atoms". In this talk, I will review a series of
papers that study the effects of a binary companion’s presence.
The...
