The eROSITA X-ray telescope has performed four X-ray all-sky surveys since its launch in July 2019. In this talk, I will briefly overview eROSITA's early results on galaxy clusters, with an emphasis on the eFEDS PV-phase program. I will also report the latest progress on clusters and superclusters from the first eROSITA All-Sky Survey.BIODr. Ang Liu is a postdoc researcher at Max Planck Institu...
Clusters of galaxies trace the most non-linear peaks in the cosmic density field. The weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies by clusters can allow us to infer their masses. However, galaxies associated with the local environment of the cluster can also be intrinsically aligned due to the local tidal gradient, contaminating any cosmology derived from the lensing signal. In this talk, ...
I present the latest results from a JWST Cycle 1 GO program, in which 12 of the lowest-luminosity z>6 quasars selected from the deep Subaru/HSC survey are observed with NIRCam imaging and NIRSpec Fixed-Slit spectroscopy. We have successfully detected stellar light of quasar host galaxies in NIRCam F150W and F356W images, which straddle the redshifted 4000 angstrom break. A self-developed image ...
Old low-metallicity (“metal-poor”) stars provide us a unique window to explore the early evolution and formation of our Milky Way as well as the early nucleosynthesis in the universe. In this talk, I would like to introduce the art of Galactic archaeology with metal-poor stars, mainly using the joint efforts between LAMOST and Subaru in the past few years as an example. A homogeneous high-pre...
Galaxy survey provides an important window for the exploration of fundamental physics by accurately mapping the large-scale structure of the Universe (LSS), which is expected to lead to great scientific discoveries. In cosmology, LSS encodes abundant key cosmological information (e.g., baryon acoustic oscillations, neutrino masses, primordial non-Gaussianities, gravity properties, and cosmologi...
