SVOM (Space-based multiband Variable Object Monitor) is a Chinese-French space mission mainly designed to study Gamma-Ray Bursts. The satellite has four instruments to detect and localize the prompt GRB emission and measure the evolution of the afterglow in the visible band and in soft X-rays, and a VHF communication system enabling the fast transmission of SVOM alerts to the ground. The ground...
Galaxy quenching is a crucial phase of galaxy evolution. For years the over-quenching problem has posed a big challenge to galaxy evolution models at low redshift. In this talk, I will introduce how we improve the semi-analytic model GAEA step-by-step to reproduce the observed quenched fractions, and the lessons we learned. Then we apply this model to high redshift to understand the galaxy quen...

Luminous high-z quasars provide direct probes of the buildup of supermassive black holes, the primeval massive galaxies hosting them, and the intergalactic medium during the epoch of reionization. Despite its extraordinary capabilities, a significant challenge remains: the lack of quasar samples at redshift larger than 7. The Euclid space telescope offers a promising avenue to enrich our quasar...
The inner structures of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are essential for probing the fundamental parameters of the central supermassive black hole (BH), understanding accretion physics, and investigating the physical connection between the BH and its host galaxy. The reverberation mapping (RM) technique has been widely used to study the broad-line region (BLR), the dust torus, and the accretion ...
