Probing wandering black holes with off-nuclear tidal disruption events
The hierarchical assembly of galaxies and dynamics in galactic nuclei naturally predict a significant population of off-nuclear massive black holes (MBHs), yet direct observational evidence remains scarce. The demographics of these off-nuclear MBHs offer critical insights into the formation of MBH mergers, the nature of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies, and the co-evolution of MBHs and their host g...

Local Group Analogs in a cosmological context: Relating the velocity structure to the cosmic web
The Local Group (LG), as a gravitationally bound system of the Milky Way and Andromeda, as well as their satellites, is a cornerstone of near-field cosmology. However, its utility as a cosmological probe requires understanding how it is related to the cosmic web. Using the ABACUSSUMMIT simulation, we identify LG analogues and quantify their environmental dependence. We find that the coupling en...

Ultra-hot Jupiter's atmosphere unveiled by high-resolution spectroscopy
Ultra-hot Jupiter is a class of giant exoplanets with extremely high temperatures. Due to their unique chemical and physical properties, this class of exoplanet have become a popular research subject in recent years. In this talk, I will present observed results of ultra-hot Jupiters using both transmission and emission spectroscopy. We conducted a survey of a dozen ultra-hot Jupiters using gro...

Exploring Compact Object Binaries via Optical Observations and Surveys
Compact objects, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, serve as exceptional laboratories for probing fundamental physical processes under extreme conditions in the universe. Binary systems hosting these compact objects represent a crucial pathway for characterizing their properties and advancing our understanding of accretion physics and stellar evolution. While compact object...

The Restless (the birth of the periodic table)
Following the Big Bang the Universe was homogeneous in matter, energy and barren of chemistry. It is the stars which, through their life and death, built up the periodic table. Astronomers have now identified several classes of cosmic explosions of which supernovae constitute the largest group. The Palomar Transient Factory was an innovative 2-telescope, and its successor, the Zwicky Transient ...
