Multiband gravitatioanl wave observations of stellar binary black holes
The ground-based gravitational wave (GW) observatories discover a population of merging stellar binary black holes (BBHs), which are promising targets for multiband observations by the low-, middle-, and high-frequency GW detectors. We investigate the multiband GW detections of BBHs and demonstrate the advantages of such observations in improving the localization and parameter estimates of the ...

WALLABY detects two Polar Ring Galaxies
Polar ring galaxies (PRGs) exhibit an extendedring of material oriented perpendicular to the main disk, which provide crucialclues for galaxy evolutionand dynamics, such as galaxy interaction and gas accretion. In the WALLABY Pilot Data Release 1, we found two potential polar ring galaxies: NGC 4632 and NGC 6156. We used the iDaVIE virtual reality software todecompose gas within the disk and ri...

Revealing the Recycled inflow of the massive galaxies at high redshift
The gas surrounding galaxies is known as the circumgalactic medium (CGM) which is considered to be deeply coupled with the evolution of galaxies. Although lots of works have been done, how galaxies co-evolve with the CGM is still poorly understood. To explore the CGM-galaxy ecosystem, especially the baryon cycle, we conduct observations on the high redshift CGM. First, we study the gas surroun...

Flow Annealed Kalman Filters: Gradient-free inference for expensive forward models
For many scientific applications the forward model consists of an expensive black-box simulator without easy access to gradients of the forward model. In such a situation, inference can be challenging, with standard gradient-free sampling algorithms requiring an intractably large number of serial model evaluations. In this talk I will introduce the flow annealed Kalman filter for approximate Ba...

3D Structure and Extinction of Nearby Molecular Clouds
The 3D structure and extinction law are studied for the Taurus, Orion, Perseus and California molecular clouds (MCs) based on the LAMOST and APOGEE spectroscopy. Extinctions are calculated from color excess derived from the Blue Edge methods. In combination with the distance from the Gaia, a 3D extinction map and the structure of these MCs can be retrieved and the clouds that overlap in the sk...
