Coronal magnetic field Measurements
Coronal magnetic fields are at the heart of most of the unsolved problems in solar physics and of the solar–terrestrial relationship. However, no routine measurements have been carried out for the magnetic field measurement in the solar corona, due to the weakness of its signature. In the past several decades, a number of techniques have been developed for coronal magnetic field diagnostics. I...

X-ray reflection spectroscopy on black hole X-ray binaries
Black hole X-ray binaries are bright accreting systems that can undergo apparent state changes on the reasonable timescales for human. These systems are good analogy to their supermassive counterparts: active galactic nuclei. X-ray reflection spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study the accretion geometry under different regimes. In this talk, I will present how we use X-ray reflection spectros...

Complicated life of massive stars: the effect of rotation and binarity
Massive stars are crucial in our understanding of many areas of modern astrophysics. Despite considerable efforts, there remain numerous unanswered questions regarding the formation and evolution of massive stars. Young star clusters are ideal laboratories to gauge stellar theory, because they are believed to be ensembles of co-eval stars with identical initial chemical compositions. However, r...

Solving the Mystery of Small Exoplanets through Holistic Characterization
The first detection of another planet around a Sun-like star marked the beginning of a new era in which our understanding of how planets typically form and the uniqueness of our Solar System were radically upended. We now know that planet formation is incredibly resilient, and produces a diverse myriad of planets around a wide range of stellar types. These remarkable findings tell us that the S...

Supercritical growth of seed BHs at cosmic dawn and co-evolution with host galaxies: a perspective regarding outflows
Supercritical growth of massive/stellar mass seed BHs at high-z universe is believed to be one of the possible solutions to grow the observed supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at z~6. We study the long-term evolution of the global structure of axisymmetric accretion flows onto a black hole (BH) at rates substantially higher than the Eddington value, performing two-dimensional radiation hydrodyna...
