Ultra-hot Jupiter's atmosphere unveiled by high-resolution spectroscopy
Ultra-hot Jupiter is a class of giant exoplanets with extremely high temperatures. Due to their unique chemical and physical properties, this class of exoplanet have become a popular research subject in recent years. In this talk, I will present observed results of ultra-hot Jupiters using both transmission and emission spectroscopy. We conducted a survey of a dozen ultra-hot Jupiters using gro...

Exploring Compact Object Binaries via Optical Observations and Surveys
Compact objects, including white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, serve as exceptional laboratories for probing fundamental physical processes under extreme conditions in the universe. Binary systems hosting these compact objects represent a crucial pathway for characterizing their properties and advancing our understanding of accretion physics and stellar evolution. While compact object...

The Restless (the birth of the periodic table)
Following the Big Bang the Universe was homogeneous in matter, energy and barren of chemistry. It is the stars which, through their life and death, built up the periodic table. Astronomers have now identified several classes of cosmic explosions of which supernovae constitute the largest group. The Palomar Transient Factory was an innovative 2-telescope, and its successor, the Zwicky Transient ...

A Possible Metal-dominated Atmosphere below the Thick Aerosols of GJ 1214 b Suggested by Its JWST Panchromatic Transmission Spectrum
GJ1214b is the archetype low-density sub-Neptune orbiting around a M-dwarf. The bulk composition of GJ1214b is of great interest to explore its origin; however, previous studies suffered from a degeneracy between a rocky core with a hydrogen-rich envelope or an icy core with a water-rich envelope. To break the degeneracy, atmospheric observations had been conducted for over a decade; however, t...

New Insights into Exoplanets: Connecting Theory with Measurements from Space and Lab
The discovery of thousands of exoplanets in our galaxy has unveiled an extraordinary diversity in planetary compositions and properties, challenging conventional theories of planet formation and evolution. These observations have spurred the development of new theoretical models that incorporate additional physical processes to bridge the gap between theory and data. Informed by recent high-pre...
