Description
The interstellar medium of early type galaxies has attracted a great deal of interest ever since Faber & Gallagher (1976) showed that a considerable amount of mass ejected by evolved stars could pile up over the lifetime of the galaxy (10^8 - 10^9 M[ scriptstyle sun ]). Surprisingly though, high resolution and sensitive HI observations demonstrated that in general much less gas is detected and that most of it seems to have been accreted (van Gorkom et al 1986; Wiklind & Henkel 1990). We have started a project, mapping a few early-type galaxies in detail, in order to shed light on the origin of the ISM in these objects.

    The Aligned Orbit of a Hot Jupiter around the M Dwarf TOI-4201
    Measuring the obliquities of stars hosting giant planets may shed light on the dynamical history of planetary systems. Significant efforts have been made to measure the obliquities of FGK stars with hot Jupiters, mainly based on observations of the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect. In contrast, M dwarfs with hot Jupiters have hardly been explored because

    Einasto Gravitational Potentials have Difficulty to Hold Spherically Symmetric Stellar Systems with Cores
    It was known that an ideal spherically symmetric stellar system with isotropic velocities and an inner core cannot reside in a Navarro, Frenk, and White (NFW) gravitational potential. The incompatibility can be pinned down to the radial gradient of the NFW potential in the very center of the system, which differs from zero. The gradient is

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky
