Glitching pulsars as sources of transient gravitational waves
The spin of neutron stars can be timed with exquisite precision and are seen observationally as pulsars. They are observed to spin-down steadily over long periods but once in a while, they can undergo a rapid and sudden increase in their spin, which is known as a glitch. For some cases, the glitch is followed by a post-glitch recovery. There are several models that predict the emission of conti...

From Subaru to WFST: The Past, Present, and Future of Fast Transient Studies
Transients with fast brightness variance in UV/optical wavelengths ("fast transients," such as early-phase supernovae, fast blue optical transients, kilonovae) are of great interest in astronomy. Although great progresses in time-domain astronomy have been made via wide, shallow, and day(s)-cadence surveys, the limited observing depth and low time resolution make traditional time-domain surveys...

Spatially Resolved Star Formation of Galaxies at z ~ 1 - 3 from HST and JWST Observations
Investigating spatially resolved properties of galaxies offers important constraints on the mechanisms by which galaxies form stars and grow in stellar mass. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) not only facilitates a systematic exploration of high redshift galaxies, but also enables a detailed study of the rest-frame mid-infrared (mid-IR) and the optical emission lines of galaxies at intermed...

Planet Formation near the Inner Disk Edge
Short-period super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are the most abundant type of planets. Their origin is key to understanding planet formation and the evolution of protoplanetary disks. Recent observations found that, contrary to mature systems, young planetary systems appear to be dominated by near-resonant configurations, suggesting a rich history of resonance capture followed by secular dynamical i...
