A Song of Ice and Fire: the Fate of Planetary Systems After Stellar Death
In the past 30 years, astronomers have discovered thousands of planets orbiting stars outside the solar system. Most of the exoplanets we know of today orbit stars that will eventually exhaust their n...

Bridging the Gap Between Galaxy and Star Formation with Star Clusters
<p>Over the past decades, the discovery of a large number of young massive clusters (YMCs) in the local Universe and giant clumps in high-z galaxies suggests that clustered star formation is the dominant...</p>

Magnetars, a possible engine of FRBs--the first smoking gun from SGR J1935+2154
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond radio pulses detected from cosmological distances. A large number of models invoke extragalactic magnetars as the sources of these mysterious events. Magnetars...
