Description
Far infrared and sub-millimeter observations of quasars and normal star forming galaxies at z>6 have revealed the presence of large amounts of dust. At such high redshifts, the inferred 107-109 M_ȯ masses of dust must have formed in less than one billion years. Explaining this rapid chemical evolution is a challenge for both observations and theoretical models. Here we discuss the relative role of the two main stellar sources, AGB stars and SNe, in early dust enrichment, in light of new theoretical dust yields for AGB stars.

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on

    The molecular gas perspective on the growth and death of H emitters in the Spiderweb protocluster at Alpha z=2.16
    Galaxy clusters at low redshift are dominated by massive quiescent galaxies hosting stellar populations 10 Gyrs old, indicating that they were formed in the early universe when clusters were still in the process of being assembled (i.e., protoclusters). The rapid growth of galaxies within protoclusters is driven by the efficient transformation of

    Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in Solar Plasmas
    Magnetohydrodynamic Processes in Solar Plasmas provides a comprehensive theory and practice of basic plasma processes in the Sun and heliosphere. It deals with the basic dynamics of the Sun from its interior up to its outer atmosphere in the framework of Magnetohydrodynamics. Topics covered include essential phenomena in the solar interior such as
