Studying Particle Transport in the Magnetic Turbulence with Pulsar Wind Nebulae/Pulsar Halos with Multiwavelength Observations
Pulsar wind nebulae and pulsar halos are extended sources of nonthermal radiation powered by pulsars. Morphologies of these sources reflect the spatial distribution of electrons/positrons therein, which is related to the particle transport mechanism and the turbulent nature of the background medium. Therefore, multiwavelength observations of pulsar wind nebula and pulsar halos provide a good op...

Cross-correlation between the Thermal Sunyaev–Zeldovich Effect and the Integrated Sachs–Wolfe Effect
Understanding the composition and distribution of baryonic matter in the Universe is a crucial step toward unraveling the mysteries of its formation and evolution. Early estimates and numerical simulations show that most baryons are “missing,” whereas the baryons that are already made into stars and galaxies constitute a small portion of the total baryon budget. Therefore accurate constraints...

On the Cosmic Baryon Cycle---Insights Learned from the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS)
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) contains the fuel for future star formation and the record of past feedback, making it uniquely sensitive to the physics of baryonic flows. Characterizing the tenuous multiphase CGM across cosmic time holds a key to unveiling the drivers of galaxy growth. The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS) is designed to map intergalactic and circumgalactic gas at interm...

Reconstruction of Cosmological Initial Density Field with Observations from the Epoch of Reionization
Initial density distribution provides a basis for understanding the complete evolution of cosmological density fluctuations. While reconstruction in our local Universe exploits the observations of galaxy surveys with large volumes, observations of high-redshift galaxies are performed with a small field of view and therefore can hardly be used for reconstruction. Here we propose to reconstruct t...

The UV luminosity function at 0.6 < z < 1 from UVCANDELS
UVCANDELS is a HST Cycle-26 Treasury Program awarded 164 orbits of primary ultraviolet (UV) F275W imaging and coordinated parallel optical F435W imaging in four CANDELS fields: GOODS-N, GOODS-S, EGS, and COSMOS, covering a total area of ～426 arcmin^2. This is ～2.7 times larger than the area covered by previous deep-field space UV data combined, reaching a depth of about 27 and 28 ABmag (5 \si...
