Red supergiants (RSGs), as the descendants of OB-type stars and the progenitors of supernovae, provide crucial insights into the evolution of massive stars, particularly in binary systems. Previous studies show that the binary fraction of RSGs ( $\approx 15\!-\!40~{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ ) is ...
This work presents a new detailed study on the energy-dependent variation in the X-ray polarization of the Crab pulsar wind nebula (PWN), obtained using data from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer ( IXPE ). For the entire PWN, we observed a linear variation in polarization degree (PD), and ...
Recent observations with JWST and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have unveiled galaxies with regular discs at significantly higher redshifts than previously expected. This appears to be in contrast to our understanding of galaxy evolution at high redshift. Additionally, the ...
We search a sample of 9361 613 isolated sources with 13< g <14.5 mag for slowly varying sources. We select sources with brightness changes larger than $\sim 0.03$ mag yr −1 over 10 yr, removing false positives due to, for example, nearby bright stars or high proper motions. After a thorough ...
The Herschel -SPIRE Dark Field is the deepest field produced by the SPIRE instrument pushing down below the galaxy confusion limit in each of the 250, 350, 500 $\mu$ m bands. Standard source extraction techniques inevitably fail because of this, and we must turn to statistical methods. Here, we ...
We present the image maps, data reduction, analysis, and the first source counts from the Herschel SPIRE Dark Field. The SPIRE Dark Field is an area of sky near the North Ecliptic Pole observed many times during the calibration phase of the Herschel mission in order to characterize the stability of ...
We present a unique discovery of three new detected systems showing two different phenomena together. These are 2+2 quadruple stellar systems showing two eclipsing binaries as the inner pairs. And besides that, these systems were also found to exhibit the precession of the inner orbits causing the ...
We use the Millennium Simulation to study the relation of galaxies and dark matter haloes to the cosmic web. We define the web as the unique, fully connected, percolating object with (unsmoothed) matter density everywhere exceeding 5.25 times the cosmic mean. This object contains 35 per cent of all ...
