The origin of the quenching in galaxies is still highly debated. Different scenarios and processes are proposed. We use multiband (400-1600 nm) bulge-disc decompositions of massive galaxies in the redshift range 0 < z < 2 to explore the distribution and the evolution of galaxies in the $\log \, {\rm SFR-log}\: M_{*}$ plane as a function of the

The late-time integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) imprint of $R\gtrsim 100~h^{-1}\, \mathrm{Mpc}$ superstructures is sourced by evolving large-scale potentials due to a dominant dark energy component in the ΛCDM model. The aspect that makes the ISW effect distinctly interesting is the repeated observation of stronger-than-expected imprints from supervoids

We use the TNG100 simulation of the IllustrisTNG project to investigate the stellar specific angular momenta (j *) of ~12 000 central galaxies at z = 0 in a full cosmological context, with stellar masses (M *) ranging from 10 9 to $10^{12} \, {\rm M}_{\odot }$. We find that the j *-M * relations for early-type and late-type galaxies in IllustrisTNG

Recent observational and theoretical studies of the Local Group (LG) dwarf galaxies have highlighted their unique star-formation history, stellar metallicity, gas content, and kinematics. We investigate the commonality of these features by comparing constrained LG and field central dwarf halo simulations in the Numerical Investigation of a Hundred

Using high-resolution optical spectroscopy we determine the chemical abundance of the secondary star in the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038. We measure a metallicity of [Fe/H] = 0.48 ± 0.04 which is higher than the Solar value and in general find that the element abundances are different compared to the secondary stars in X-ray binaries

A promising progenitor scenario for Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) is the thermonuclear detonation of a white dwarf in a close binary system with another white dwarf. After the primary star explodes, the surviving donor can be spontaneously released as a hypervelocity runaway. One such runaway donor candidate is LP 398-9, whose orbital trajectory
