Most exoplanets likely begin life wrapped in hydrogen–helium envelopes that interact intensely with their molten or supercritical interiors for millions to billions of years. Yet, despite their pivotal role in shaping planetary formation, evolution, and atmospheric composition, our fundamental physical and chemical understanding of these interactions remains limited, in large part because they...
The origin of cosmic rays (CRs) remains an open question. The CR spectrum is characterized by two significant breaks: the knee at ~3 PeV (PeV=1e15 eV) and the ankle at ~3 EeV (EeV=1e18 eV). It is widely accepted that ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) above the ankle originate from extragalactic sources, with the transition energy between galactic and extragalactic components lying between ...
We try to find an optimized methodology to constrain the cosmological parameters using the quasar dataset. Quasars can be the potential cosmic probe that can fill up the gap between the farthest observed Type Ia Supernovae and the Cosmic Microwave Background CMB. Quasars can be observed to the highest redshift of z ≈ 7.1. It can give valuable insight into the tensions of the cosmological param...
This is the abstract: Understanding how galaxies form and evolve remains one of the central challenges in modern astrophysics. In this talk, I will present my research over the past decade on the multi-scale processes that govern galaxy formation, from the initial conditions imprinted in the cosmic microwave background to the assembly of galactic disks.I will show that the effect of the cosmic ...
Euclid is a class-M space mission by ESA launched in July 2023. In the course of its six years lifetime, it will observ ~14,000 sq. degrees of the extragalactic sky with the aim of understanding the nature of dark matter and dark energy combining multiple cosmological probes such as weak lensing and galaxy clusters. Being designed for accurate shape measurements from space and having a space re...
Dark energy has attracted renewed attention since DESI reported a possible dynamical behavior crossing the cosmological constant boundary, favoring the (w0,wa) parametrization over a cosmological constant at more than 3\sigma. This apparent evolution is a manifestation of some discrepancies between DESI BAO, Planck CMB and supernovae measurements. An independent probe from DESI and SN is theref...
Recent observational campaigns and theoretical investigations strongly indicate the presence ofa spinning supermassive black hole binary that spirals in due to the emission ofnano-Hertz gravitational waves in bright blazar OJ 287.I will briefly describe these efforts while focusingon our August 2019 observations and their implications.Additionally, I will touch upon our ongoing efforts, relev...
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are spectacular explosions of dying massive stars and play significant roles in various astrophysical processes. It is a key topic, and still a major difficulty, to determine the progenitors of different types of CCSNe. In this talk, I will describe the general understanding on this topic from past studies and introduce our recent work in this field on a wide ra...

The large-scale structures such as Fermi Bubbles and eROSITA Bubbles provide a unique opportunity to study our Milky Way. However, the nature and origin of these large structures are still under debate. In this talk, I will present the identification of several kpc-scale magnetized structures based on their polarized radio emission and their gamma-ray counterparts, which can be interpreted as t...
