Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). The metallicity of the intracluster light
Colour provides key information to constrain the stellar population of the intracluster light (ICL), the diffuse light within galaxy clusters.Stellar Loci X: Selection of Nitrogen-Rich Giants Using GALEX NUV and Synthetic SDSS Photometry
Nitrogen-rich (N-rich) field stars (likely second-generation escapees from globular clusters) provide a powerful, but currently sample-limited, probe of globular-cluster disruption in the Galactic…Evaluating Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection for Identifying Unusual Galaxy Morphologies in CEERS and NGDEEP
Galaxy morphology out to $z\sim 6$ provides insight into galaxy formation and evolution, but identifying rare or structurally complex systems is difficult due to observational limits and the scale…A Little Red Dot emerging from a nitrogen-rich UV-luminous galaxy with Very Massive Stars
JWST is revealing abundant populations of high-$z$ galaxies with unforeseen properties: UV-luminous galaxies with high nitrogen enrichment, populations of very massive stars (VMSs; $>100\ M_\odot$)…The Structural Anatomy of Galaxies: Environmental Dependence of Morphological and Quenching Evolution at 0.1 < z < 0.5
We investigate how cluster environments affect galaxy star formation, structure, and stellar populations using spectroscopically-confirmed galaxies in X-ray-selected eROSITA clusters, that have deep…Optimal galaxy magnification: generalized fundamental-plane residuals and number counts are all you need
Weak-lensing magnification complements cosmic shear through its effects on galaxy fluxes, sizes, and number counts.Impact of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger revealed by a single cosmic clock: thick-to-thin disc transition, gas disc shrinking and bar formation
Whether the formation of the Galactic bar was connected to the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) merger, the last significant merger experienced by the Milky Way, remains an open question.The deepest X-ray view of a kiloparsec scale jet at z=6.1
The mechanism responsible for the high-energy emission observed in kiloparsec-scale jets across cosmic time remains poorly understood.Charting the Galactic Underworld II: Strategies for Identifying BHs and NSs with LISA
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs) observed by space-based gravitational-wave detectors offer constraints on binary stellar evolution that are complementary to those from ground-…AGB-star Mass Transfer Products in Stellar Streams as Tracers of Density in Dissolved Star Clusters
The least dense globular clusters (GCs) appear to host the highest fractions of stars with chemical signatures of mass transfer from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) companions.The THESAN-ZOOM project: the delayed rise of Lyman continuum escape fractions in bursty high-redshift galaxies
The ionizing radiation that galaxies release into their surroundings depends on whether efficient Lyman continuum (LyC) escape coincides with strong photon production.Gone Without a Bang: A Search for Failed Core-Collapse Supernovae in ZTF and Predictions for Rubin and Roman
The core-collapse of massive stars (${\geq}10\ \rm M_\odot$) usually takes the form of a supernova, but in some cases may lead to a direct collapse, leading to a failed core-collapse supernova…The black hole-galaxy correlations of the 12 micron local AGN sample: a NuSTAR perspective
The M-sigma correlation of inactive galaxies plays a crucial role in estimating the black hole mass (MBH) in active galactic nuclei (AGN): 1) it is used to calibrate the reverberation mapping (RM)…Nuclear Millimeter Continuum Emission in Radio-Quiet Active Galactic Nuclei: an ALMA Spectral and Variability Study
Unresolved millimeter (mm) emission is observed in radio-quiet (RQ) Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), but its physical origin remains debated.The LBT Y$_{\rm p}$ Project VI: Gas-Phase Chemical Abundance Patterns of Metal-Poor Nebulae
Through a combined rest-optical and NIR observing campaign, the Large Binocular Telescope Primordial He Abundance ($Y_{\rm p}$) Project has delivered a precision measurement of $Y_{\rm p}$.The PAU Survey: Active galactic nucleus galaxies in galaxy pairs
Leveraging the high-precision photometric redshifts of the Physics of the Accelerating Universe Survey (PAUS), we aim to investigate the connection between active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and galaxy…Optical-Infrared Extinction Variation in Nearby Molecular Clouds
The dust extinction curve is an important probe of the properties of dust grains, particularly their size distribution.Optical and near-infrared s-process abundance scales in the Galactic disc
A discrepancy has recently emerged between optical and near-infrared (NIR) s-process abundance scales, particularly for Neodymium (Nd).JWST observations of the planetary nebula NGC 6302 IV: PAH spectral characteristics, formation and evolution
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and carbonaceous dust have been observed in Oxygen-rich planetary nebulae (PNe), yet their formation and evolution in these environments is an open question.A Potential New Dimension of Astrophysical Aromatic Functionalization: Phosphaethynyl (CP) Derivatives
Quantum chemical computations outline a thermodynamically viable, low-temperature, gas-phase formation pathway for phosphaethynyl cyclopropenylidene ($c$-C$_3$HCP), resulting from cyclopropenylidene…
