Summary: This study presents the discovery of multiple Lyman alpha emitter candidates near C IV absorption systems in the spectrum of the QSO J1030+0524, revealing a connection between C IV systems and Ly alpha emitting galaxies. The results suggest that the equivalent width of C IV systems may influence the presence of Ly alpha emitting galaxies, with low-luminosity LAEs near C IV absorption systems indicating the environment of early galaxies.

Summary: I analyzed the JWST NIRSpec data of SMACS 0723 and provided three new redshifts, bringing the total reliable redshifts to 14. I proposed a modified direct abundance determination method that reduces sensitivity to flux calibration uncertainties by a factor of about 3 and showed that the resulting abundances are consistent with Bayesian photoionization models. I identified a narrow-line active galactic nucleus (AGN) at z = 7.66 and suggested the possibility of AGN contribution to the flux of another object at 10 612 through comparison with photoionization models and low-redshift analogues.

Summary: By estimating H i gas masses for about 7000 high-redshift galaxies in the DEEP2 survey, it was found that the high-mass end of the HIMF at high redshifts is similar to that of the local Universe. Furthermore, it was observed that massive star-forming galaxies do not dominate neutral gas at z similar to 1, and there is a steeper relationship between the H i gas mass fraction and stellar mass at higher redshifts. The scatter in the M-HI=SFR quantity increases from factors of 5-7 at z = 0 to close to 100 at z = 1, suggesting that there is no direct relation between H i gas and star formation in high-redshift galaxies.

Summary: We examine the redshifts of Type Ia supernovae and provide an updated catalogue with improved redshift values. Through using the latest heliocentric redshift data, exact formulae for converting to the Cosmic Microwave Background frame, and an improved peculiar velocity model, we have enhanced the original catalogues. We found and corrected several errors and missing values. The impact of these improvements on measurements of H-0 and the dark energy equation of state w are smaller than previously reported uncertainties.

Summary: This study presents multi-object optical spectroscopy of galaxies in the vicinity of low-redshift quasars and inactive massive galaxies, revealing their physical associations and recent star formation events. The results show that about half of the observed quasars have at least one associated companion galaxy. Compared to inactive galaxies, the companions of quasars more frequently exhibit emission lines, suggesting a moderate link between nuclear activity and recent star formation in their environments.

Summary: This study uses the correlation between H i linewidths and baryonic mass to obtain distance information for approximately 9984 galaxies. The sample is limited by H i flux and a correction is made to account for selection bias. The absolute scale is established using 64 galaxies with known distances, resulting in a determination of the Hubble constant as H-0 = 75.5 +/- 2.5 km s(-1) Mpc(-1). These findings provide important references for subsequent research.

Summary: We propose a random forest (RF) framework for predicting physical conditions of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) from quasar absorption line observables. The RF models are trained on synthetic absorbers from the simba cosmological simulation to capture the complex relationship between CGM observables and underlying gas conditions. The models accurately reproduce the true values with normalized transverse standard deviations ranging from 0.32 to 0.54 dex in temperature, 0.49 to 0.53 dex in metallicity, and 0.50 to 0.54 dex in overdensity.

Summary: This study indicates that the inclination of the symmetry axis can affect the observation of active galactic nuclei, and as the geometry of the obscuring torus changes, the average viewing angle may also change, potentially leading to biases in luminosity distance measurements. The dependence of the viewing angle on redshift must be considered in cosmological methods based on quasars.

Summary: In this study, high-resolution adaptive optics imaging observations were used to investigate four kinematically identified recoiling supermassive black hole candidates. The results show that two of the candidates exhibit AGN offsets. However, further analysis suggests that one candidate may be a dual AGN and the measured spatial offset of the other candidate may not be due to a recoil event.

Summary: This paper is the second in a series of studies using data from tens of thousands of nearby SO galaxies. It introduces a new classification scheme based on optical spectrum analysis and compares different activity types. The analysis is extended to include mid-infrared, radio, and X-ray wavelengths through crossmatching with other survey data. Findings suggest that the nebular emission in radio and X-ray detected S0-Seyfert and LINER systems is not primarily driven by star formation.

Summary: The 4D Eigenvector 1 empirical formalism (4DE1) and its main sequence (MS) are effective tools for understanding the diversity among quasar populations. In this study, the behavior of a sample of 22 high-redshift and high-luminosity quasars was evaluated in the context of the 4DE1. The analysis suggests that these quasars are strongly affected by powerful outflows.

Summary: The Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerating Universe Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) is an astronomical observation project that uses the Javalambre Survey Telescope (JST) and 56 narrow-band filters to observe approximately one-third of the northern sky. Two small surveys, J-NEP and miniJPAS, were conducted to demonstrate the scientific potential and test a new method for the calibration of photometry. The results show that J-NEP has significantly improved performance in terms of depth compared to miniJPAS.

Summary: Current and future imaging surveys require accurate estimation of photometric redshifts (photo-zs) for millions of galaxies. This paper investigates the improvement of broadband photo-z estimates by leveraging the synergies between narrow-band photometric data and large imaging surveys. A multi-task learning (MTL) network is applied to simultaneously predict broadband photo-z and narrow-band photometry from broadband photometry, resulting in a 13% increase in precision and a 40% reduction in outlier rate for photo-z predictions. MTL also reduces the bias for high-redshift galaxies and improves the redshift distributions. The application of this technique to deeper samples is crucial for future surveys such as Euclid or LSST.

Summary: Hickson compact groups (HCGs) follow an evolutionary sequence of three phases, with gas initially confined to galaxies, then spread throughout the intra-group medium, and finally almost no gas remaining in the galaxies. This study finds that the deficiency of H I can be used as a proxy for the evolutionary phase of a compact group, and there is evidence for the existence of diffuse H I component in HCGs. Moreover, the distribution of H I deficiency in HCGs is broad, and the timescale for morphological changes is generally shorter than the timescale for the destruction or consumption of neutral gas.

Summary: Spatially resolved integral field spectroscopic maps in the MaNGA survey have discovered inner rings revealing ongoing star formation in S0 galaxies. The presence of these rings is closely related to activity gradients measured in the optical spectra, particularly in the equivalent width of the H alpha emission line. The frequency and characteristics of these inner rings provide insights into the formation and evolution of S0 galaxies.

Summary: In the era of huge astronomical surveys, machine learning provides promising solutions for efficient estimation of galaxy properties. The traditional supervised paradigm involves training a model on labeled data and using it to predict labels of unlabelled data. The semi-supervised pseudo-labelling technique offers an alternative by allowing the model to learn from both labelled and unlabelled data. Testing this method on redshift, stellar mass, and star formation rate estimation, significant improvements are obtained compared to purely supervised learning, especially using gradient-boosting tree methods.

Summary: Unveiling the true nature of dark matter, which only interacts gravitationally, is a major goal in physics. Weakly interacting massive particles and ultralight bosons (axions) are leading candidates for dark matter, postulated to address deficiencies in the Standard Model of particle physics. By examining the lensing signatures in multiply lensed images of background galaxies, researchers can distinguish between rho DM and psi DM halos, with rho DM models showing discrepancies in brightness and position predictions. In the case of the system HS 0810+2554, psi DM successfully reproduces all aspects of the lensed triplet images, while rho DM often fails. This, combined with its ability to resolve lensing anomalies, supports the idea of wavelike dark matter involving axions.

Summary: The optical and UV properties of radio-quiet and radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) are different, but it is unclear whether the differences are due to sample selection or intrinsic differences in their emitting regions. Recent studies have shown that strong Feii emitters require high metal content. However, the chemical composition of jetted radio-loud sources is not well understood. This study presents a pilot analysis of the chemical composition of low-z radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars.

Summary: The measurement of the absolute neutrino mass scale from cosmological large-scale clustering data is crucial, and N-body simulations can be used to model the impact of neutrinos on structure formation. In this study, a code comparison effort was conducted to evaluate the reliability of numerical methods for treating massive neutrinos. The results show that different numerical implementations produced consistent results, indicating that the impact of massive neutrinos can be accurately modeled at the sub-percent level in common summary statistics.

Summary: In this study, 66 photometrically classified Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) within red-sequence selected galaxy clusters from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) were identified. Comparisons of light-curve and host galaxy properties of the cluster SNe and field SNe Ia were made, revealing that the cluster SNe have faster declining light curves. However, when considering host galaxies with similar color and mass, there is no significant difference in the light-curve properties. The study also found a mass-dependent difference in the intrinsic rate of SNe Ia between cluster and field environments, with the ratio declining with increasing mass.

Summary: The study utilizes the projected three-dimensional correlation function to measure the correlation of large-scale structure and explores the constraints on the baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) scale. By considering the realistic redshift distributions and using a Gaussian stacking window function, the research obtains constraints on DM(zeff)/rs.
