Precision radial velocity and photometric monitoring of a large number of stars may reveal hitherto overlooked populations of binary systems consisting of normal stars and unseen compact objects. I wi...
The overwhelmingly homochiral nature of life has left a puzzle as to whether mirror-image biology systems based on a chirally inverted version of molecular machinery could also exist. We initially dev...
As the outermost layer of the solar atmosphere, the corona plays a key role in shaping the plasma and magnetic field environment of the solar system. The quiescent corona has a temperature of about on...
Relativistic jets of blazars and magnetized coronae of highly accreting black holes routinely display non-thermal emission signatures, including fast and bright flares of high-energy emission. Yet, th...
The 2m-aperture Chinese Survey Space Telescope (also known as the Chinese Space Station Telescope, CSST) is a major science project of China Manned Space Program. It is expected to start science opera...
