The hierarchical assembly of galaxies and dynamics in galactic nuclei naturally predict a significant population of off-nuclear massive black holes (MBHs), yet direct observational evidence remains scarce. The demographics of these off-nuclear MBHs offer critical insights into the formation of MBH mergers, the nature of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies, and the co-evolution of MBHs and their host g...
Integrated field unit (IFU) spectroscopy provides a unique window to explore gas-phase oxygen abundances in the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies in the local Universe. Two-point correlations are one of the next-generation methodologies proposed to extract new information on ISM diffusion from metal fields inside galaxies. I will present two-point correlation analyses using CALIFA and MUSE ...
The X-ray-emitting hot gas is one of the primary components of the X-ray emission in normal galaxies and is crucial for understanding the evolution of the galactic ecosystem. The Virgo Cluster is the nearest and a rich galaxy cluster at its early evolutionary stage, which offers a great opportunity to study the hot gas content of its member galaxies and the cluster environmental effects. In thi...
Several astrophysical and cosmological phenomena are consistent with the existence of a non-luminous, non-interacting “Dark Matter.” In this talk I describe efforts to detect Cold Dark Matter with particle experiments and the current limits. I then give an overview of the astrophysical constraints on Warm, Self-Interacting, and Fuzzy Dark Matter and a future outlook on Dark Matter searches.BI...
This presentation is divided into three main parts:Overview of Large-Scale Structure (LSS) Studies in CosmologyThis section introduces the theoretical framework behind the formation and evolution of large-scale structure, observations on LSS, statistical techniques used for LSS data analysis, and key phenomena (BAO, RSD and AP effect) associated with LSS.Introduction to 4MOST and the Cosmologic...
