Dust Dynamics in Planet Formation Processes & Towards Multi-stage Studies
Dust plays an important role in planet formation as they grow from micron sized grains to over Mm sized planets. The intermediate stage, to form km-sized planetesimals from mm-cm sized dust particles, has been found to be difficult. These mm-cm sized dust particles frequently distribute in ring-like structures in protoplanetary disks as revealed in ALMA observations. Here, I present a series of...

A polarized view of the pulsar wind nebulae with IXPE
Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are powerful sources of non-thermal X-ray radiation, which is intrinsically polarized due to synchrotron emission. The magnetic field strength and structure in these sources play a crucial role in shaping their dynamics, energetics and evolution, as well as in accelerating particles to very high energies. X-ray polarimetry can provide unique insights into understandin...

Primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) and Its Detection by Cosmolgical Surveys
The simplest single-field inflation models predict a nearly Gaussian distribution of primordial density perturbations. However, the non-Gaussianity of the primordial density field serves as a powerful probe into the physics of the early universe, especially when considering more complex inflation models. The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) bispectrum has provided the tightest constraint on th...

4MOST Galactic pipeline: radial velocity and pysme stellar parameters
The 4-m Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) is one of the ESO community survey with a large field-of-view to survey the southern sky in a few years, delivering spectra for ≥25 million objects over ≥15 000 square degrees in R~6000 and R~20000. 4MOST is currently in its manufacturing, assembly, integration and test phase with an expected start of full science operations within a year. ...

Interstellar X-ray Dust Scattering: Current Research and Future Prospects
Our Universe is pervaded with X-ray sources. When X-ray photons traverse through interstellar space, they can be scattered by dust particles floating in space, producing scattering rings and halos around X-ray sources. This scattering effect can be used to study the distribution of interstellar dust, as well as the size distribution, composition and structure of dust grains. It also affects the...
