Spectroscopic verification of very luminous galaxy candidates in the early universe
During the first 500 million years of cosmic history, the first stars and galaxies formed and seeded the cosmos with heavy elements.

Improving the open cluster census. II. An all-sky cluster catalogue with Gaia DR3
We aim to conduct a blind, all-sky search for open clusters using 729 million sources from Gaia DR3 down to magnitude $G\sim20$, creating a homogeneous catalogue of clusters including many new objects.

Extragalactic magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program) -- V: First results on the magnetic field orientation of galaxies
For spiral galaxies, FIR $B$-fields are $2-75$\% more turbulent than the radio $B$-fields.

Orbital decay in an accreting and eclipsing 13.7 minute orbital period binary with a luminous donor
We report the discovery of ZTF J0127+5258, a compact mass-transferring binary with an orbital period of 13. 7 minutes.

The dark matter profile of the Milky Way inferred from its circular velocity curve
Our results further demonstrate the capability of the circular velocity curve, especially in light of the recent wave of data, in constraining the Milky Way's dark matter halo.

Disk settling and dynamical heating: histories of Milky Way-mass stellar disks across cosmic time in the FIRE simulations
We identify three eras: a Pre-Disk Era (typically >8 Gyr ago), when stars formed on dispersion-dominated orbits; an Early-Disk Era (~ 8 - 4 Gyr ago), when stars started to form on rotation-dominated orbits but with high velocity dispersion, sigma_form; and a Late-Disk Era (< 4 Gyr ago), when stars formed with low sigma_form.

The impact of AGN-driven winds on physical and observable galaxy sizes
These winds reduce the gas surface density in the inner regions of the galaxy, suppressing the very compact starburst and maintaining an approximately constant half-mass radius.

A Quick Look at the 3GHz Radio Sky. II. Hunting for DRAGNs in the VLA Sky Survey
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) can often be identified in radio images as two lobes, sometimes connected to a core by a radio jet.
