NGC 5128 (Cen A) is the nearest giant elliptical galaxy and one of the brightest extragalactic radio sources in the sky, boasting a prominent dust lane and jets emanating from its nuclear supermassive black hole. In this paper, we construct the star... Read More about The Complex Star Formation History of the Halo of NGC 5128 (Cen A).

We report the spectroscopic confirmation and fundamental properties of TOI$-$757 b, a mini$-$Neptune on a 17.5$-$d orbit transiting a bright star ($V\, =\, 9.7$ mag) discovered by the TESS mission. We acquired high$-$precision radial velocity measure... Read More about TOI–757 b: an eccentric transiting mini–Neptune on a 17.5–d orbit.

Context. Long-period transiting exoplanets bridge the gap between the bulk of transit- and Doppler-based exoplanet discoveries, providing key insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems. The wider separation between these planets a... Read More about NGTS-30b/TOI-4862b: An ~1 Gyr old 98-day transiting warm Jupiter.

We report the discovery and Doppler mass measurement of a 7.4 days 2.3 R ⊕ mini-Neptune around a metal-poor K dwarf BD+29 2654 (TOI-2018). Based on a high-resolution Keck/HIRES spectrum, the Gaia parallax, and multiwavelength photometry from the UV t... Read More about A Mini-Neptune Orbiting the Metal-poor K Dwarf BD+29 2654.

The Role of Thermoviscous and Thermocapillary Effects in the Cooling and Gravity-Driven Draining of Molten Free Liquid Films (2023)

We theoretically considered two-dimensional flow in a vertically aligned thick molten liquid film to investigate the competition between cooling and gravity-driven draining, which is relevant in the formation of metallic foams. Molten liquid in films... Read More about The Role of Thermoviscous and Thermocapillary Effects in the Cooling and Gravity-Driven Draining of Molten Free Liquid Films.
