We study the stellar mass assembly of galaxies via the stellar mass function (SMF) and the coevolution with dark matter halos via abundance matching in the largest redshift range to date, 0.2 < z < 12. We used the 0.53 deg 2 imaged by JWST from the COSMOS-Web survey, in combination with ancillary imaging in over 30 photometric bands, to select

Aims. We aim to constrain the amplitude of the linear spectrum of density fluctuations (σ 8), the matter density parameter (Ω m), the Hubble constant (H 0), Γ = Ω ch, and S 8 from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7) by studying the abundance of large voids in the large-scale structure of galaxies. Methods. Voids are identified as

Massive brane fluctuations, called branons, behave as weakly interacting massive particles, which is one of the most favored class of candidates to fulfill the role of the dark matter (DM), an elusive kind of matter beyond the Standard Model. We present a multi-target search in dwarf spheroidal galaxies for branon DM annihilation signatures with a

Context. Understanding and characterising the magnetic activity of M dwarfs is of paramount importance in the search for Earth-like exoplanets orbiting them. Energetic stellar activity phenomena, such as flares or coronal mass ejections, which are common in these stars, are deeply connected with the habitability and atmospheric evolution of the

We present a transmission spectrum of the misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-15b from 2.8-5.2 microns observed with JWST's NIRSpec/G395H grating. Our high signal-to-noise data, which has negligible red noise, reveals significant absorption by H $_2$O ( $4.2\sigma$) and CO $_2$ ( $8.9\sigma$). From independent data reduction and atmospheric retrieval

We study the quiescent ultradiffuse galaxy FCC 224 in the Fornax cluster using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, motivated by peculiar properties of its globular cluster (GC) system revealed in shallower imaging. The surface brightness fluctuation distance of FCC 224 measured from HST is 18.6 ± 2.7 Mpc, consistent with the Fornax cluster
