Galaxies are not isolated islands in the Universe. Across the cosmic time, they assemble and evolve while frequently interacting with the ambient cosmic gas, namely the circum- and inter-galactic media (CGM/IGM), which belongs to the large-scale structure named the cosmic web. However, specifically what roles this large-scale environment plays in galaxy formation remains as a key open question ...
Studying the distribution and properties of hot gas around galaxies (hot CGM) is helpful to understand the galaxy evolution and explain the bi-modality of the galaxy population, but its observation is challenging. In my talk, I will introduce how eROSITA X-ray all-sky survey allow us to study the hot CGM with a large sample of galaxies and provide more general relationship between CGM and galax...
The formation and evolution of planetary systems are critical links in understanding how we came to be. With an eye on exoplanet demography, my talk outlines two observational approaches for studying planet formation and evolution. In the first approach, I focus on the aftermath of planet formation by estimating the occurrence rate of hot jupiters with an inner companion planet through a system...
Active galactic nuclei (AGN), which represent the rapidly growing phase of the supermassive black holes (SMBH), radiate across the whole electromagnetic spectrum fromradio to Gamma-rays. X-rays, which are seen in most AGN, are an important tool to study the physics of AGN. Thanks to the launch of NuSTAR in 2012, we are able to probe AGN properties in the hard X-ray regime for the first time. In...
GYRE is an open-source stellar oscillation code that calculates wave frequencies and functions for the (unforced) natural modes of an input stellar model. Recently, the code's capabilities have been extended to encompass forced oscillations, allowing it to calculate the interior perturbations of a star caused by the gravitational field of a companion. The standard approach to simulating tides i...
