An Isolated Stellar-mass Black Hole Detected through Astrometric Microlensing [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 We report the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH). We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to carry out precise astrometry of the source star of the long-duration (t E ≃ 270 days), high ...

COSMOS2020: The galaxy stellar mass function. The assembly and star formation cessation of galaxies at 0.2 < z < 7.5 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 How galaxies form, assemble, and cease their star-formation is a central question within the modern landscape of galaxy evolution studies. These processes are indelibly imprinted on the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF).

Galaxy Stellar Mass Functions from z ∼ 10 to z ∼ 6 using the Deepest Spitzer/Infrared Array Camera Data: No Significant Evolution in the Stellar-to-halo Mass Ratio of Galaxies in the First Gigayear of Cosmic Time [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 We present new stellar mass functions at z ∼ 6, z ∼ 7, z ∼ 8, z ∼ 9 and, for the first time, z ∼ 10, constructed from ∼800 Lyman-break galaxies previously identified over the eXtreme Deep Field and Hubble Ultra-Deep Field parallel fields and the five ...

Stellar coronal mass ejections [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2022 Stellar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are a growing research field, especially during the past decade. The large number of so far detected exoplanets raises the open question for the CME activity of stars, as CMEs may strongly affect ...

Extending the evolution of the stellar mass–size relation at z ≤ 2 to low stellar mass galaxies from HFF and CANDELS [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 We reliably extend the stellar mass–size relation over 0.2 ≤ z ≤ 2 to low stellar mass galaxies by combining the depth of Hubble Frontier Fields with the large volume covered by CANDELS.

The Gaia–Kepler Stellar Properties Catalog. II. Planet Radius Demographics as a Function of Stellar Mass and Age [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2020 Studies of exoplanet demographics require large samples and precise constraints on exoplanet host stars. Using the homogeneous Kepler stellar properties derived using the Gaia Data Release 2 by Berger et al., we recompute Kepler planet radii and incident

LATIS: The Stellar Mass–Metallicity Relation of Star-forming Galaxies at z ∼ 2.5
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the stellar mass–stellar metallicity relation for 3491 star-forming galaxies at 2 ≲ z ≲ 3 using rest-frame far-ultraviolet spectra from the Ly α Tomography IMACS Survey (LATIS).

Galactic Stellar and Substellar Initial Mass Function [PDF]
, 2003 We review recent determinations of the present‐day mass function (PDMF) and initial mass function (IMF) in various components of the Galaxy—disk, spheroid, young, and globular clusters—and in conditions characteristic of early star formation.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Model: Dust-to-metal Ratio of H ii Regions
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Using a sample of face-on star-forming galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we statistically derive the typical optical depth τ _cl of individual H ii regions based on the “Chocolate Chip Cookie” model of Lu et al. (2022).
