Peering into the Milky Way by FAST: III. Magnetic fields in the Galactic halo and farther spiral arms revealed by the Faraday effect of faint pulsars [PDF]
The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is the most sensitive radio telescope for pulsar observations. We make polarimetric measurements of a large number of faint and distant pulsars using the FAST.

The Low-redshift Lyman Continuum Survey. I. New, Diverse Local Lyman Continuum Emitters
The origins of Lyman continuum (LyC) photons responsible for the reionization of the universe are as of yet unknown and highly contested. Detecting LyC photons from the Epoch of Reionization is not possible due to absorption by the intergalactic medium ...

Fixing the Reference Frame for PPMXL Proper Motions Using Extragalactic Sources [PDF]
We quantify and correct systematic errors in PPMXL proper motions using extragalactic sources from the first two LAMOST data releases and the Veron-Cetty & Veron Catalog of Quasars.

TeV GAMMA RAYS: OBSERVATIONS VERSUS EXPECTATIONS & THEORY
The scope of this paper is to discuss two important questions relevant for TeV γ-ray astronomy; the pursuit to reveal the origin of cosmic rays in our galaxy, and the opacity of the universe in γ-rays.

Resolving Galactic-scale Obscuration of X-Ray AGNs at z ≳ 1 with COSMOS-Web
A large fraction of the accreting supermassive black hole population is shrouded by copious amounts of gas and dust, particularly in the distant ( z ≳ 1) universe.

Parsec-scale structure in the warm ISM from polarized galactic radio background observations [PDF]
We present multi-frequency polarization observations of the diffuse radio synchrotron background modulated by Faraday rotation, in two directions of positive latitude.

Although the extragalactic nature of 3C 48 and other quasi stellar radio sources was discussed as early as 1960 by John Bolton and others, it was rejected largely because of preconceived ideas about what appeared to be unrealistically high radio and ...

Extragalactic and galactic sources: New evidence, new challenges, new opportunities
Recent data bring in sharper focus the issue of relative contributions of galactic and extragalactic sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. On the one hand, there is some new evidence, from gamma-ray observations of blazars, that cosmic rays are ...
