observations from the james webb space telescope (jwst) have unveiled several galaxies with stellar mass $m_*\gtrsim10^{10} m_\odot$ at $7.4\lesssim z\lesssim 9.1$. these remarkable findings indicate an unexpectedly high stellar mass density, which contradicts the prediction of the $\lambda \rm cdm$ model. we adopt the...

in the lower solar atmosphere, the chromosphere is permeated by jets known as spicules, in which plasma is propelled at speeds of 50 to 150 kilometers per second into the corona. the origin of the spicules is poorly understood, although they are expected to play a role in heating the million-degree corona and are assoc...

aims: the purpose of this work is to evaluate how several elements produced by different nucleosynthesis processes behave with stellar age and provide empirical relations to derive stellar ages from chemical abundances.methods: we derived different sets of ages using padova and yonsei-yale isochrones and hipparcos and ...

we present the first observational evidence that light propagating near a rotating black hole is twisted in phase and carries orbital angular momentum (oam). this physical observable allows a direct measurement of the rotation of the black hole. we extracted the oam spectra from the radio intensity data collected by th...

recently gamma-ray bursts (grbs) have been detected at very-high-energy (vhe) gamma-rays by imaging atmospheric cherenkov telescopes, and a two-component jet model has often been invoked to explain multiwavelength data. in this work, multiwavelength afterglow emission from an extremely bright grb, grb 221009a, is exami...

using data from jwst, we analyse the compact sources ("sparkles") located around a remarkable z spec = 1.378 galaxy (the 'sparkler) that is strongly gravitationally lensed by the z = 0.39 galaxy cluster smacs j0723.3-7327. several of these compact sources can be cross-identified in multiple images, making it clear that...
