Description
Recent research regarding the star formation in star clusters on galaxy wide scales indicates that, in the hypothesis that all stars are born within clusters, the supposedly universal initial stellar mass function (IMF) within young star clusters, does not necessarily yield the same IMF for whole galaxies. As star clusters also follow an embedded cluster mass function (ECMF), the whole integrated galaxy initial stellar mass function (IGIMF) has to be steeper than the individual IMFs of star clusters -- depending on the steepness of the ECMF (Kroupa & Weidner 2003, ApJ, 598, 1076; Weidner & Kroupa 2005, ApJ, 625, 754). This result has found to be able to explain the mass-metallicity relation of galaxies (Köppen et al. 2007, MNRAS, 375, 673). Investigating the effects of the IGIMF further, this project concentrates on the expected temporal evolution of the supernova rate in comparison with a rate for a single-slope Salpeter-like IMF, for a wide range of galaxies with different masses and star-formation histories. Type II and type Ia supernovae are included at a later stage, as well as the influence of massive starbursts.

    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
