How Are Red and Blue Quasars Different? The Radio Properties

open access: yesGalaxies, 2021
A non-negligible fraction of quasars are red at optical wavelengths, indicating (in the majority of cases) that the accretion disc is obscured by a column of dust which extinguishes the shorter-wavelength blue emission. In this paper, we summarize recent

The Connection between the Intracluster Light and its Host Halo: Formation Time and Contribution from Different Channels

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We extend the analysis presented by Contini et al. to higher redshifts, up to z = 2, by focusing on the relation between the intracluster light (ICL) fraction and the halo mass, its dependence on redshift, the role played by the halo concentration, and ...

Discovery of an Isolated Dark Dwarf Galaxy in the Nearby Universe

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Based on a new H i survey using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), combined with the Pan-STARRS1 images, we identified an isolated H i cloud without any optical counterpart, named FAST J0139+4328.

The Event Horizon Telescope Image of the Quasar NRAO 530

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We report on the observations of the quasar NRAO 530 with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) on 2017 April 5−7, when NRAO 530 was used as a calibrator for the EHT observations of Sagittarius A*.

REQUIEM-2D: A Diversity of Formation Pathways in a Sample of Spatially Resolved Massive Quiescent Galaxies at z ∼ 2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
REQUIEM-2D (Resolving Quiescent Magnified Galaxies with 2D Grism Spectroscopy) comprises a sample of eight massive ( ${\rm{log}}({M}_{\ast }/{M}_{\odot })\gt 10.6$ ) strongly lensed quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 2.

The Supersonic Project: Star Formation in Early Star Clusters without Dark Matter

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The formation mechanism of globular clusters (GCs) has long been debated by astronomers. It was recently proposed that supersonically induced gas objects (SIGOs)–which formed in the early Universe due to the supersonic relative motion of baryons and dark

History of Astronomy in Australia: Big-Impact Astronomy from World War II until the Lunar Landing (1945–1969)

open access: yesGalaxies, 2021
Radio astronomy commenced in earnest after World War II, with Australia keenly engaged through the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. At this juncture, Australia’s Commonwealth Solar Observatory expanded its portfolio from primarily studying

Extragalactic Stellar Astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Despite their paucity, massive hot stars are real cosmic engines of fundamental importance in shaping our Universe, from its very early stages up to its current appearance. Understanding the physics of massive stars is then a key issue for many relevant astrophysical phenomena.

New distance measures for classifying X-ray astronomy data into stellar classes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The classification of the X-ray sources into classes (such as extragalactic sources, background stars, ...) is an essential task in astronomy. Typically, one of the classes corresponds to extragalactic radiation, whose photon emission behaviour is well ...
