Description
The Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi (DCF) method using the Angular Dispersion Function (ADF), the Histogram of Relative Orientations (HROs) and the Polarization-Intensity Gradient Relation (P-IGR) are the most common tools used to analyse maps of linearly polarized emission by thermal dust grains at submilliter wavelengths in molecular clouds and star-forming regions. A short review of these methods is given. The combination of these methods will provide valuable tools to shed light on the impact of the magnetic fields on the formation and evolution of subparsec scale hub-filaments that will be mapped with the NIKA2 camera and future experiments.

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on
