Bent radio AGN, with their classic “C” shaped morphology, are a unique class of radio AGNs. These radio sources are often used as signposts of a dense, gaseous medium, such as the intracluster medium (ICM). However, bent sources are found inside and outside cluster environments, raising the question of how environment impacts bent radio AGN morphology. We analyzed new LOw-Frequency Array Two-...
The intracluster medium (ICM) is the largest reservoir of the hot baryons. The centers of the ICM often feature a sharp X-ray surface brightness peak. AGN mechanical feedback from the brightest cluster galaxy is likely preventing the hot ICM from the catastrophic cooling, although the exact feedback process remains poorly understood. A growing number of kiloparsec-scale multiphase filaments hav...
LCDM is the standard model of modern cosmology with two dark components, dark matter and dark energy. The nature of dark energy and the dark matter structure growth rate can be probed via the large-scale structure (LSS). For this purpose, we observe millions of spectra of galaxies and quasars (QSOs) with spectroscopic galaxy surveys to explore the 3D map of the Universe. Meanwhile, high-resolut...

With the rapidly increasing number of newly discovered exoplanets, the characterization of their atmospheres is becoming the new frontier, crucial for distinguishing between different planetary populations and bearing the imprints of planet formation and evolution. To this end, transit spectroscopy has been the most fruitful technique, revealing the atmospheric species for dozens of exoplanets,...
