Description
K-band galaxy number counts (GNCs) exhibit a slope change at K˜ 17.5 mag not present in optical bands. To unveil the nature of this feature we have derived the contribution of different galaxy types to the total K-band GNCs at 0.32) and evolved passively since then cannot predict the slope change, whereas models that impose a late definitive assembly for them (at z<1.5) can reproduce it. We conclude that the slope change in total K-band GNCs is thus nothing other than a vestige of the definitive assembly of a substantial fraction (˜ 50%) of present-day massive E-S0s at 0.8

    Application of Bayesian Inference to disentangle CMB foregrounds
    Both Galactic dust emission and Cosmic infrared background anisotropies (CIB) act as a dominant foreground contaminant for the measurements of the CMB anisotropies (intensity and polarization) at the frequency range above 217 GHz. The Galactic dust and CIB share a similar form of spectral energy distribution, which makes it harder to disentangle

    Constraining stellar and orbital co-evolution through ensemble seismology of solar-like oscillators in binary systems
    The evolution of stars and their hosting binary systems is a highly interactive process and cannot be investigated in a segregated manner. Due to the constraints drawn by stellar binarity, oscillating red-giant stars in binary systems represent a unique opportunity to study the details of the structure and evolution of stars in the advanced phases

    Triple-Double Radio Galaxies: Clues for understanding recurrent AGN activity
    Using LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS), we discovered three cycles of episodic jet activity (J1225+4011, Chavan et al. 2023, MNRAS) in a giant radio galaxy, which is an extremely rare class of restarted Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), making it only fourth of its kind. It is also called 'Triple-Double Radio Galaxy' (TDRG). J1225+4011 extends up to
