<p>Exoplanet atmospheres with imprints from their history open an important avenue to trace the origin and evolution of planets. With high-dispersion spectroscopy, we can resolve atomic and molecular spectral features into unique forests of lines that serve as fingerprints for identifying different species and probing structures and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres. I will talk about high-resolut...</p>
<p>Most galaxies comparable to or larger than the mass of the Milky Way host hot, X-ray emitting atmospheres and accreting supermassive black holes. Hot atmospheres and radio jets and lobes are the ingredients of radio-mechanical active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. At least half of the most massive early-type galaxies harbour multi-phase filamentary gas, which appears to result from the therm...</p>
<p>The utilization of Pulse Profile modeling techniques could simultaneously provide measurements for Neutron star Mass Radius and offer insights into their hotspot distribution. Presently, these methodologies rely on meta models of the equation of state (EOS) and employ pure geometrical cap overlapping techniques to align with observational data. This presentation aims to showcase our recent resu...</p>
<p>When orbiting hotter stars, hot Jupiters are often highly inclined relative to their host star equator planes. By contrast, hot Jupiters orbiting cooler stars are more aligned. Prior attempts to explain this correlation between stellar obliquity and effective temperature have proven problematic. We show how resonance locking—the coupling of the planet's orbit to a stellar gravity mode (g-mode)...</p>
<p>Short-period super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are the most abundant type of planets. Their origin is key to understanding planet formation and the evolution of protoplanetary disks. Recent observations found that, contrary to mature systems, young planetary systems appear to be dominated by near-resonant configurations, suggesting a rich history of resonance capture followed by secular dynamical i...</p>
<p>Galaxies are complex systems influenced by numerous factors. Despite extensive research, we cannot yet explain the diverse properties of nearby galaxies. Gas accretion, environments, galaxy merging, and supermassive black hole (SMBH) feedback play pivotal roles in galaxy evolution. In this talk, I will present an overview of my recent and current research. My work entails a comprehensive compar...</p>
<p>The 4MOST consortium has been selected by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) to provide the ESO community with a fibre-fed spectroscopic survey facility on the VISTA telescope with a large enough field-of-view to survey a large fraction of the southern sky in a few years. The facility will be able to simultaneously obtain spectra of ~2400 objects distributed over an hexagonal field-of-vie...</p>
<p>I will present the maps of the large scale structure at soft X-ray wavelength obtained by eROSITA. I will discuss how the observed emission unravels the properties of the circum-galactic medium of our Milky-Way and nearby galaxies.Then I discuss what astrophysical and cosmological information is contained in the map subtended by X-ray detected clusters and Active galactic nuclei</p>
<p>Dust plays an important role in planet formation as they grow from micron sized grains to over Mm sized planets. The intermediate stage, to form km-sized planetesimals from mm-cm sized dust particles, has been found to be difficult. These mm-cm sized dust particles frequently distribute in ring-like structures in protoplanetary disks as revealed in ALMA observations. Here, I present a series of...</p>
<p>Completing the census of active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity is the key to study the build-up of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and understand their relations with the host galaxy properties. Nevertheless, many AGNs are obscured by dust and gas, making the identification of such systems a challenging task even today. In this talk, I will present the first results on the AGN identifications ...</p>
