The large number of star clusters in nearby galaxies permits us to statistically test the predictions of stellar, dust, and gas models. Using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) broadband plus Hα imaging combined with JWST near-infrared imaging, we use a total of 10 filters spanning near-ultraviolet through near-infrared wavelengths to model key physical

We present the SPECDIS value-added stellar distance catalog accompanying DESI Data Release 1. SPECDIS trains a feed-forward neural network (NN) with Gaia parallaxes and gets the distance estimates. To build up an unbiased training sample, we do not apply selections on parallax error or signal-to-noise (S/N) of the stellar spectra, and instead, we

Within 20 pc of the Sun, there are currently 29 known cold brown dwarfs—sources with measured distances and an estimated effective temperature between that of Jupiter (170 K) and approximately 500 K (ref. 1). These sources are almost all isolated and are the closest laboratories we have for detailed atmospheric studies of giant planets formed

Collisional impacts between asteroid-sized objects have been common throughout the history of our solar system and have significantly contributed to the formation of asteroid families (Nesvorný et al., 2015). Of particular interest are the low-albedo (geometric albedo < 0.10) and low-inclination (i ≤ 15°) asteroid families situated within the inner
