The ∞ Galaxy: A Candidate Direct-collapse Supermassive Black Hole between Two Massive, Ringed Nuclei
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe report the discovery of an unusual z = 1.14 object, dubbed the ∞ galaxy, in JWST imaging of the COSMOS field. Its rest-frame near-IR light is dominated by two compact nuclei with stellar masses of ∼10 ^11 M _⊙ and a projected separation of 10 kpc ...

AT2021aeuk: A Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Event Candidate in a Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxy
The Astrophysical JournalA black hole (BH) can tear apart a star that ventures within its tidal radius, producing a luminous flare as the stellar debris falls back, known as a tidal disruption event (TDE).

Light and hyper nuclei formation at sNN= 3 GeV Au+Au collisions using Wigner coalescence approach
Physics Letters BThe production of light nuclei and hyper-nuclei in heavy-ion collisions, particularly at high baryon density, is crucial for understanding the dynamical evolution of the collision system and exploring the internal state of nuclear matter of compacted ...

A Data-driven Search For Mid-infrared Excesses Among Five Million Main-sequence FGK Stars
The Astronomical JournalStellar infrared excesses can indicate various phenomena of interest, from protoplanetary disks to debris disks, or (more speculatively) techno-signatures along the lines of Dyson spheres.

Detection of Young Massive White Dwarfs in Core-collapsed Globular Cluster NGC 362
The Astrophysical Journal LettersCore-collapsed globular clusters are ideal targets to explore the presence of stellar collision products. Here, we have studied 17 far-UV bright white dwarf (WD) members in the globular cluster NGC 362 using data obtained from the Ultra Violet Imaging ...
