The astrophysics of the first galaxies is undergoing a data revolution, driven by the infrared capabilities of JWST and the coming arrival of Roman, SKA, and other facilities. Yet inferring the physical processes governing the formation and evolution of the earliest galaxies remains difficult: these objects are distant and intrinsically faint, and several well-established scaling relations...

The chemical enrichment state of galaxies is a result of a complex interplay between several mechanisms that (i) accrete pristine gas onto galaxies, (ii) cool down, fragment, and convert this pristine gas into stars, (iii) produce the heavy elements in the cores of massive stars, and (iv) release the newly formed heavy elements into the interstellar medium through stellar winds and supernovae....

Panchromatic surveys such as COSMOS have expanded our understanding of how galaxies evolve through cosmic time immensely. Surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's LSST are promising an unprecedented view of this evolutionary paradigm provided the massive data challenge they pose is answered. We have been developing pop-cosmos, a comprehensive galaxy population model housing a...

Under the assumption that other advanced extraterrestrial civilisations exist - or have existed - elsewhere in our and other galaxies, the Breakthrough Listen Initiative has for the past decade taken the lead in the search for both direct and indirect technosignatures using a diversity of radio telescope facilities. Advances in instrumentation, computational processing power and most...

Stellar streams, the remnants of tidally disrupted dwarf galaxies and globular clusters, are powerful probes of galaxy assembly and dark matter. While many streams have been discovered in the Milky Way, comparisons with cosmological simulations suggest that both the census of streams and the identification of their constituent stars remain incomplete due to overwhelming stellar backgrounds,...

The UV continuum slope (β) of high-redshift galaxies is an important observable for understanding the stellar populations, dust attenuation, and ionizing photon production of galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization. However, the relationship between UV β slopes and underlying galaxy properties is highly non-linear, involving the combined effects of star formation, metallicity, gas evolution,...

When a supernova is located behind a massive galaxy, its light can be gravitationally lensed to form multiple images. Such a strongly lensed supernova is a rare and powerful probe that provides insights into distant supernova explosions, dark matter in galaxies, and even the expansion rate of the Universe. Currently, the lensed supernova field stands at a turning point, as we transition from a...
