Dark matter halos are approximately virialized condensation of dark matter and serve as the building blocks of large scale structure and galaxy formation. These structures, however, are not fully in e...
At high redshift most of the baryons reside outside galaxies, in an intricated network of sheets, filaments and knots, also known as the Cosmic Web. The direct detection of this large-scale gas struct...
Spicules are rapidly evolving fine-scale jets of magnetized plasma in the solar chromosphere. It remains unclear how these prevalent jets originate from the solar surface and what role they play in he...
The galaxy intrinsic alignment (IA) is both a major source of systematic errors in weak lensing cosmology, and an emerging tracer of the large scale structure of the Universe. Separating IA from weak ...
The link between the intergalactic medium (IGM) and galaxies is a key to understand the evolution of baryonic matter and galaxies. Although several observations have identified the presence of IGM-gal...
Planetary nebulae (PNe) are descendants of the low- and intermediate-mass stars (about 1-8 solar masses), which account for the absolute majority (>90%) of stellar populations in the universe. As an ...
From 2009 to 2014, the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) used the SDSS telescope to obtain spectra of 1.5 million galaxies to get very accurate measurements of the Baryon Acoustic Oscilla...
Searching for the most distant objects is important. Due to the limited time before the observed epoch, these objects can put the most stringent constraint on the structure formation in the Universe. ...
I will introduce several new LSS analysis methods that we are working on. 1) The tomographic Alcock-Paczynski method, which overcomes the RSDs via looking at the redshift evolution, and is capable of ...
It has been more than one century since the discovery of cosmic rays in 1912. The origin of these energetic particles is still a matter of debate. Great advances have been achieved on cosmic ray measu...
