TOI-836 is a ∼2–3 Gyr K dwarf with an inner super Earth (R = 1.7 R ⊕, P = 3.8 days) and an outer mini-Neptune (R = 2.6 R ⊕, P = 8.6 days). JWST/NIRSpec 2.8–5.2 μm transmission spectra are flat for both planets. We present Keck/NIRSPEC observations of escaping helium for super-Earth b, which shows no excess absorption in the 1083 nm triplet to deep

We obtain CO(1‑0) molecular gas measurements with the Australia Telescope Compact Array on a sample of 43 spectroscopically confirmed Hα emitters in the Spiderweb protocluster at z = 2.16 and investigate the relation between their star formation activities and cold gas reservoirs as a function of environment. We achieve a CO(1‑0) detection rate of

We present an in-depth analysis of the fiber assignment incompleteness in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1 (DR1). This incompleteness is caused by the restricted mobility of the robotic fiber positioner in the DESI focal plane, which limits the number of galaxies that can be observed at the same time, especially at

The present state of cosmology is facing a crisis where there is a fundamental disagreement in measurements of the Hubble constant ( $H_{0}$), with significant tension between the early and late Universe methods. Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are important to measuring $H_{0}$ through the astronomical distance ladder. However, there remains potential

We report the discovery of a brown dwarf candidate around evolved star BD +48 873. Companion is located in eccentric orbit at around 5 AU semi-major axis, which places it in an exciting location at the edge of the theorized brown dwarf desert. We present the radial velocity data analysis results of brown dwarf parameters and the host star's

Aims. The United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) microlensing survey was conducted over four years, from 2016 to 2019, with the goal of serving as a precursor to future near-infrared microlensing surveys. Focusing on stars in the Galactic center and utilizing near-infrared passbands, the survey identified approximately one thousand microlensing
