Description
We present the latest results of the Spitzer Cosmological Surveys concerning the characterization of the evolution of galaxies in the last 12Gyr (from z=4). We have analyzed the stellar mass function up to z=4 using a sample of more than 28,000 galaxies selected in the rest-frame near-infrared with Spitzer/IRAC. Our results confirm and quantify the downsizing scenario of galaxy formation. Based on the study of the specific Star Formation Rates (SFRs) of X-ray emitters, we discuss the role of AGN in the evolution of galaxies, arguing against the link between nuclear activity and the quenching of the star formation in massive galaxies at z<1.4.

    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

    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

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging &amp; 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
