Emulating Extended Lyman Alpha Halos Around Star-Forming Galaxies [EN]
The detection of the extended Lyman-alpha emission (or Lyman-alpha halos) around star-forming galaxies opens a new window for probing the circum-galactic medium (CGM) at high redshifts. With IFU observations (e.g., through MUSE), we are already capable of measuring the spatially resolved Lya spectra around individual galaxies, revealing a diverse population of the Lya emission. However, interpr...

Imaging Giant Planet Formation [EN]
The new generation of infrared high-contrast imagers and sub-mm interferometer has been revolutionising our view of planet formation for the last decade. Protoplanetary discs have now been imaged at a high level of detail, revealing a wealth of structures including cavities, annular gaps, spiral arms, shadows and asymmetries. In order to connect these structures to forming planets and provide t...

The research of dark matter halos with galaxy-galaxy lensing method
In the standard LambdaCDM cosmological framework, cosmic structures grow through a hierarchical process. As fundamental building blocks of the dark matter universe, halos are believed to follow a self-similar structure distribution. Thus, we could stacking the weak lensing signal of multiple halos with the galaxy-galaxy lensing (gglens) method, and obtain the average profile of halos. (A.) With...

Water chemistry of the Enceladus ocean and the habitability of icy moons [EN]
Enceladus, a small icy satellite of Saturn, was found to have a subsurface water ocean and evidence of ongoing hydrothermal activity in the seafloor. The ocean water, sampled via a plume, was inferred to contain substantial levels of inorganic and organic carbon as well as ammonia. However, there are very few constraints on the availability of other bio-essential nutrients, including phosphorus...

Five parameters are all you need [EN]
The standard cosmological model (ΛCDM) relies on six free parameters, five of which have direct cosmological origins, while the sixth, the optical depth (τ), is an ad hoc parameter used to model the scattering effects experienced by cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons. CMB photons decoupled from the primordial plasma at z ~ 1100 when neutral hydrogen formed, reducing the abundance of fr...
