Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA). VI. The age-metallicity relation of in-situ clusters and the age of the Universe
Within the homogeneous framework for the derivation of GC ages defined by the CARMA collaboration, we focus on the clusters born in-situ in the MW.A first view of interstellar Fe-bearing dust grains with XRISM
Understanding the reservoirs of iron (Fe) in our Galaxy is crucial for probing the mechanisms that drive dust grain growth in the interstellar medium (ISM).Searching for Nearby Supermassive Black Hole Binaries with GRAVITY
We present a systematic interferometric search for close supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in 20 nearby type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) observed with VLTI/\grav.Stellar discs and intermediate-mass black holes in galactic nuclei II. Fragmenting the disc and forming the S-stars in a live nuclear star cluster
We present direct $N$-body simulations of a stellar disc around the supermassive black hole Sgr~A*, perturbed by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) and embedded in a live nuclear star cluster.Globular cluster Observations for Luminosity-dispersion Distances (GOLD): Project description and velocity catalogue
We introduce and describe the Globular cluster Observations for Luminosity-Dispersion distances (GOLD) project, which has the principal aim of determining independent distances based on the globular…Galaxy Clustering Can Reveal Host-Galaxy Properties of Binary Black Hole Mergers
Galaxy clustering encodes information about the host galaxies of binary black hole (BBH) mergers even when individual hosts remain unidentified, because the distribution of neighboring galaxies…The Binary Fraction of Milky Way Field Stars in DESI: Dependence on Chemical Abundance
Binary populations encode information about the physical conditions of star formation and the subsequent evolution of stellar populations.Isotopic ratios as probes of star formation and the origin of molecular gas in the Central Molecular Zone
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) contains most of the dense molecular gas in the Milky Way but forms stars at a surprisingly low rate.Measuring radial flows in disc galaxies
Numerous theoretical studies suggest that gas accretion from the intergalactic medium is essential to feed star formation in galaxies throughout cosmic time.Gravitational Microlensing
Gravitational microlensing is a unique planet-detection method that does not rely on detecting light from the host star or planet.Probing Massive Star Formation with Intrinsic Multiplicity Constraints from TESS Eclipsing Binaries
Massive stars play a central role in stellar and galactic evolution as progenitors of supernovae, neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational wave sources.Gas-phase chemistry of $\mathrm{C}_3\mathrm{H}_3^+$: a key building block for carbon mass growth in space
The gas-phase chemistry of $\mathrm{C}_3\mathrm{H}_3^+$ plays a central role in the growth of carbonaceous species across a wide range of environments, from combustion systems to interstellar media.Binding Energies of Astrophysically Relevant Molecules on CO$_2$ Clusters: Benchmarking and the Donor-Acceptor Origin of Surface-Dependent Binding
Carbon dioxide (CO$_2$) is among the most abundant interstellar ices and has been observed by JWST in water-rich mixtures and pure CO$_2$ environments.EWOCS-XI: Anisotropic expansion and shear in the cluster Westerlund 1. A 2D kinematic analysis with Gaia DR3
Westerlund 1 (Wd1) is one of the Milky Way's most massive young clusters, in which heavy extinction and field contamination have historically hampered its kinematic characterization.Too many or too bright? Status and perspectives in the study of the UV Luminosity Function at z>10
The finding that galaxies in the first 500Myr were much more numerous and/or brighter than expected is often cited as one of the main discoveries of the James Webb Space Telescope in its first four…Discovery of the Slowest Radio Pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud
We report the discovery of a new radio pulsar PSR J0103$-$72 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) through a reanalysis of Parkes/Murriyang archival observations targeting supernova remnants and…Modeling CO Line Luminosity Using FIRE Simulations: I. Methodology and Validation of Molecular Gas and CO Abundance
We present a post-processing pipeline that predicts CO line luminosities, molecular hydrogen masses, and CO abundances for galaxies in the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE-2) simulations, as…JWST CAPERS: Spectroscopic evaluation of very high redshift galaxy candidates
JWST/NIRCam imaging has enabled efficient selection of a large number of galaxy candidates at very high redshifts.Inflow-driven galaxy evolution - II: A hierarchy in the scaling relations of star-forming galaxies
The star-forming main sequence (SFMS; $M_\star$--sSFR), the gas-to-stellar mass relation ($M_\star$--$M_{\rm gas}/M_\star$), and the mass--metallicity relation (MZR; $M_\star$--$Z_{\rm gas}$) are…ACORN I. Massive Black Hole Seeding and Tidal Disruption Events from Star Clusters in Cosmological Simulations
JWST has revealed massive star clusters at $z\gtrsim 6$, which provide promising environments for massive black hole (MBH) seed formation.
