Modeling Galaxy Formation in a Hierarchical Universe: A Fiducial Approach and Comparison with Observational Data
Abstract: We have developed a detailed model to understand how galaxies form in the framework of hierarchical theories of structure formation. Our model accounts for key processes like the formation and merging of dark matter halos, the heating and cooling of gas inside these halos, the regulation of star formation driven by energy from evolving stars and supernovae, galaxy mergers, and the changes in star populations over time. This approach is …

The Emerging Golden Age of Astrophysics: Progress, Discoveries, and Future Directions
Abstract: The period between 2024 and 2026 has marked a transformative era in astrophysics, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of the universe and its underlying physical mechanisms. Significant advancements in observational astronomy, computational modeling, and space exploration technologies have enabled scientists to investigate cosmic phenomena with unprecedented precision. Among the most groundbreaking achievements, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided high-resolution infrared observations that revealed the large-scale distribution of dark matter, …

Black Hole and Accretion Disks:Observational Discoveries and Theoretical Frameworks
Abstract: This review covers the essential elements of black hole accretion disk theory, beginning with the primary objective of understanding the complex nature of black holes. We delve into how key features of strong gravity, such as the event horizon, innermost stable circular orbit, and ergosphere, manifest in accretion disks. This review revisits the physical mechanisms driving accretion disks and presents four main models: thin disks, Shakura-Sunyaev disks, advection-dominated accretion flows …
