This is an exciting time for stellar astrophysics as high-cadence time domain surveys (Gaia, PTF, ZTF, ATLAS, Kepler, TESS, and, in the near future, the Vera Rubin Observatory) are revolutionizing the landscape of stellar studies by allowing the...

The cosmic microwave background is a sensitive probe of early-Universe physics, and yet fundamental constants at recombination can differ from their present day values due to degeneracies in the standard cosmological model. Such scenarios have been...

The study of the many processes that take place within astrophysical systems e.g., magnetic reconnection, shocks, and turbulence is made very challenging by the large separation distances between us and these systems. This is especially true for...

Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars immersed in strong electromagnetic fields that emit twin beams of electromagnetic radiation. However, the plasma composition and structure in the region surrounding pulsars, called magnetospheres, and the...
