Cosmology was once a mainly philosophical endeavour, but thanks to the exponential growth of astronomical data over the last decades, it has become a data driven field of science where we can study ph...
The environment around neutron stars features high magnetization, strong gravity, and relativistic particles. With radio, X-ray, and gravitational wave observations, neutron stars are perfect laborato...
The discovery of gravitational waves from the coalescence of binary black holes in 2015 has marked the dawn of the gravitational wave (GW) astronomy/cosmology. Besides the gravitational wave bursts fr...
Precision radial velocity and photometric monitoring of a large number of stars may reveal hitherto overlooked populations of binary systems consisting of normal stars and unseen compact objects. I wi...
The overwhelmingly homochiral nature of life has left a puzzle as to whether mirror-image biology systems based on a chirally inverted version of molecular machinery could also exist. We initially dev...
As the outermost layer of the solar atmosphere, the corona plays a key role in shaping the plasma and magnetic field environment of the solar system. The quiescent corona has a temperature of about on...
Relativistic jets of blazars and magnetized coronae of highly accreting black holes routinely display non-thermal emission signatures, including fast and bright flares of high-energy emission. Yet, th...
The 2m-aperture Chinese Survey Space Telescope (also known as the Chinese Space Station Telescope, CSST) is a major science project of China Manned Space Program. It is expected to start science opera...
I will present recent results of the kinematics of planetary nebulae (PNe) and globular clusters (GCs) out to about 200 kpc from the center of the Fornax cluster. We have collected more than 2000 new ...
X-ray spectroscopy is one of our main tools for studying the physical and chemical properties of the intracluster, intragroup, circumgalactic, and intergalactic media, and understanding their connecti...
