Context. The circumstellar environments of planetary nebulae (PNe) are remarkably chemically rich astrophysical laboratories, proving useful for studies of the ionization of atoms and the formation of simple and complex molecules. The new generation of high-sensitivity receivers opens up the possibility to carry out the deep observations needed to

One of the key steps in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data analysis is component separation to recover the CMB signal from multi-frequency observations contaminated by foreground emissions. Needlet Internal Linear Combination (NILC) is one of the successful methods that applies the minimum variance estimation technique to a set of needlet

As surveys grow, the challenge is how to explore and interpret the increasing quantity of data. Integral field spectroscopic (IFS) galaxy surveys are a good example of how data have grown in complexity and in volume. In order to find complex relations between the spatially resolved structures of galaxies and their accretion histories, we combine

Determining the processes by which galaxies transition from a star-forming to a quiescent state (quenching) is paramount to our understanding of galaxy evolution. One of the key mechanisms by which this takes place is via a galaxy's interactions with a local, overdense environment (satellite or environmental quenching). In the very local Universe

Recent cosmological analyses measuring distances of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) have all given similar hints at time-evolving dark energy. To examine whether underestimated SN Ia systematics might be driving these results, Efstathiou (2025) compared overlapping SN events between Pantheon+ and DES-SN5YR (20 per

Massive star-forming galaxies at high redshift require a supply of molecular gas from their gas reservoirs that is replenished by infall from the surrounding circumgalactic medium to sustain their immense star formation rates. Our knowledge of the extent and morphology of cold-gas reservoirs of early galaxies is still in its infancy, however. We
