Description
We present observational evidence of high-temperature spiral structure on the accretion disk of the dwarf nova IP Peg during outburst. The Doppler tomogram of ionized helium He II 4686 shows a two-arm spiral pattern on the disk image. The spiral shocks are generated by the tides raised by the secondary star on the disk and shows that a new mechanism may be important in transporting angular momentum out of the disk in addition to viscosity.

    The Galactic underdogs: characterizing a population of metal-poor stars with disc kinematics in the Milky Way
    To deepen our knowledge of the early history of the Milky Way, it is of particular interest to investigate the orbital and chemical properties of the most metal-poor stars, which are commonly associated with the oldest stars in our Universe. With the advent of astrometric (Gaia), spectroscopic (APOGEE, GALAH, LAMOST, Gaia-RVS), and photometric

    Inferring stellar population properties from HST+JWST photometry using Normalizing Flows
    Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) encode information about the stellar populations within galaxies. By investigating the properties of these stars, such as their ages, masses, and metallicities, we can gain insights into the underlying physical processes that drive the growth and transformation of galaxies over cosmic time. For this purpose, we
