Dating the ages and weighting the stellar populations in galaxies are essential steps when studying galaxy formation through cosmic times. Evolutionary population synthesis models with different input physics are used for this purpose. Moreover, the contribution from the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stellar phase, which peaks

In the solar corona, magnetically sheared structures are unstable to both tearing and thermal instabilities in a coupled fashion. However, how the choice of linear perturbation modes influences the time-scale to achieve the thermal runaway in a coupled tearing-thermal coronal current sheet is not well understood to date. Here, we model a force-free

The halo of our Galaxy is populated with a significant number of high-velocity clouds (HVCs) moving with a speed up to 500 km/s. It is suggested that these HVCs might contain a non-negligible fraction of the missing baryons. The main aim of the current paper is to estimate the baryonic mass of the Milky Way halo in the form of HVCs in order to

Near-infrared (NIR) emission is less affected by dust than ultraviolet and optical emission and is therefore useful for studying the properties of dust-obscured galaxies. Although rest-frame NIR observations of high-redshift galaxies have long been made using space telescopes, their structures were unresolved due to the lack of angular resolution

SN 2023tsz is a Type Ibn supernova (SN Ibn), an uncommon subtype of stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SNe), discovered in an extremely low-mass host. SNe Ibn are characterized by narrow helium emission lines in their spectra and are believed to originate from the collapse of massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, though their progenitor systems

Accurate calibration is essential for high-performance Adaptive Optics (AO) systems in astronomy. This paper presents a novel methodology for AO systems calibration that preserves the optical path integrity while achieving high-quality results. By eliminating the need for optical modifications, this approach simplifies system complexity and
