Unveiling the Dynamic Heart of M87: Structural Variations Across Multiple Scales
M87, the nearest radio galaxy hosting a supermassive black hole of six billion solar masses, offers a unique laboratory for probing black hole accretion and jet-launching mechanisms. Over the past two decades, high-resolution observations at multiple spatial scales have revealed striking structural variations in its jet and accretion system. By linking these variations across microarcsecond to ...

Quasi-Periodic Eruptions: observation, origin and applications
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are intense repeating soft X-ray bursts with recurrence times about a few hours to a few weeks from galactic nuclei. More and more observations show that QPEs are associated with tidal disruption events (TDEs), especially TDEs in recently faded active galactic nucleis (AGNs). The intriguing timing pattern of QPEs indicates that (at least a fraction of) QPEs are t...

Seeing the Missing Worlds Using CMB as a Backlight 宇宙微光中的隐匿世界
During the 14 billion year journey from the last scattering surface to the Earth, cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons were deflected (CMB lensing), stretched (the ISW effect) and scattered (the Sunyaev Zel’dovich effect and patchy screening). The induced secondary CMB anisotropies contain invaluable information on missing baryons, dark matter, dark energy, gravity, and the origin mechani...

Metal transport in the interstellar and circumgalactic medium
Observations over the past decade have revealed that galaxies lose many of the metals they produce to the circumgalactic medium, and that the metals they retain are arranged in complex patterns that go beyond simple radial gradients. Theoretical models for how metals move through and out of the interstellar medium to produce these distributions are still in their infancy. In this talk, I discus...

Dark energy studies with massive galaxy surveys
Large-scale structure has become a precision laboratory for testing gravity and dark energy. I will present recent results from our multi-tracer analyses of SDSS-IV/eBOSS luminous red and emission-line galaxies, using both configuration- and Fourier-space approaches. A key element is a “chained” multipole estimator that suppresses angular systematics, enabling robust use of auto- and cross-co...

Observational Planet Formation
It is hard to see a plane cruising at 10 km, as the plane is tiny and faint in the sky. But, if we can see the contrail trailing behind the plane, we know where the plane is. Now, astronomers are applying the same principle to study how planets form by detecting and characterizing the structures that baby planets produce in their birth cradles — protoplanetary disks. This is a new field largel...

From cosmic web to molecular clouds: the multiple scales of galaxy evolution
The interstellar medium plays a central role in the galaxy evolution process; it is the reservoir that fuels galaxy growth via star formation, the repository of material formed by these stars, and a sensitive tracer of internal and external processes that affect entire galaxies (e.g. accretion and feedback). This overview talk will discuss how observations of the interstellar medium are sheddin...

Ultra-hot Jupiter's atmosphere unveiled by high-resolution spectroscopy
<p>Ultra-hot Jupiter is a class of giant exoplanets with extremely high temperatures. Due to their unique chemical and physical properties, this class of exoplanet have become a popular research subject in recent years. In this talk, I will present observed results of ultra-hot Jupiters using both transmission and emission spectroscopy. We conducted a survey of a dozen ultra-hot Jupiters using gro...</p>

Exploring Compact Object Binaries via Optical Observations and Surveys
<p>Compact objects, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, serve as exceptional laboratories for probing fundamental physical processes under extreme conditions in the universe. Binary systems hosting these compact objects represent a crucial pathway for characterizing their properties and advancing our understanding of accretion physics and stellar evolution. While compact object...</p>
