Starburst-induced Gas–Star Kinematic Misalignment
The Astrophysical Journal LettersA kinematic misalignment of the stellar and gas components is a phenomenon observed in a significant fraction of galaxies. However, the underlying physical mechanisms are not well understood. A commonly proposed scenario for the formation of a misaligned

No Metallicity Preference in Fast Radio Burst Host Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal LettersFast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration extragalactic radio transients of unknown origin, and studying their host galaxies could offer clues to constrain progenitor models.

The Cosmic Owl: Twin Active Collisional Ring Galaxies with Starburst Merging Front at z = 1.14
The Astrophysical JournalGalaxy mergers play a critical role in driving galaxy evolution, especially by transforming galaxy morphology, redistributing gas around galaxies, triggering active galactic nuclei (AGN), and stimulating star formation.

Machine Learning Classification of COSMOS2020 Galaxies: Quiescent versus Star-forming
The Astrophysical JournalAccurately distinguishing between quiescent and star-forming galaxies is essential for understanding galaxy evolution. Traditional methods, such as spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting, can be computationally expensive and may struggle to capture ...

The Delay Time Distribution of Tidal Disruption Events
The Astrophysical JournalTidal disruption events (TDEs) can be observed when stars get too close to supermassive black holes and are torn apart and accreted. The delay time distribution of TDEs, or rate of TDEs as a function of time since a burst of star formation, can be used ...

Starbursts and Galaxy Evolution
, 2004 Starbursts are extreme concentrations of star-forming activity with mass conversion surface densities reaching over 1000 times higher than normal for disk galaxies. They are responsible for a large fraction of all cosmic star formation. They have shaped the cosmic landscape not just in individual galaxies but though the effects of "superwinds" that ...

Death by Impact: Evidence for Merger-driven Quenching in a Collisional Ring Galaxy at Cosmic Noon
The Astrophysical JournalThe role of interactions and mergers in the rapid quenching of massive galaxies in the early Universe remains uncertain, largely due to the difficulty of directly linking mergers to quenching.

Massive dusty multiphase outflow in local merger shows no sign of slowing on kiloparsec scales
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe use ALMA CO(1-0) observations and VLT/MUSE rest-frame optical data of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) IRAS20100-4156 at z = 0.1297 to characterize its powerful outflow in multiple phases using tracers of cold molecular, ionized, and neutral ...
