In this paper we describe some analytical properties of the R^{1/m} law proposed by Sersic (1968) to categorize the photometric profiles of elliptical galaxies. In particular, we present the full asymptotic expansion for the dimensionless scale factor b(m) that is introduced when referring the profile to the standard effective radius. Surprisingly, our asymptotic analysis turns out to be useful even for values of m as low as unity, thus providing a unified analytical tool for observational and theoretical investigations based on the R^{1/m} law for the entire range of interesting photometric profiles, from spiral to elliptical galaxies.

Probability of gravitational-wave lensing by intermediate-mass black holes and globular clusters
The rate of compound gravitational-wave lensing by intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters is at most about 10^-3 of galaxy-scale lensed events, disfavoring GW231123 as such an event.

Structural Diversity Among the Milky Way's Dwarf Spheroidal Satellites
Where model selection is decisive, the flexible αβγ density model is preferred over Plummer/Sersic/exponential, revealing diverse β and γ across dSphs and larger uncertainties in structural parameters.

Loop I/NPS morphology predictions in the ultralong-wavelength band
At frequencies below about 3 MHz, a nearby-supernova Loop I/NPS would remain a full bright arc, while a Galactic-Center Loop I/NPS would lose its low-latitude part (b<30 degrees), giving a clean observational test.

EPOCHS XI: The Structure and Morphology of Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization to z ~ 12.5
Galaxy half-light radii continue to shrink with increasing redshift out to z~12.5, and small high-redshift galaxies are preferentially round, with a merger fraction of about 12%.

Galaxy Cluster Mass Estimation Through The Splashback Radius
Individual galaxy cluster splashback radii are measured from cumulative number profiles, yielding Rsp/R200m approximately 1 and a new Msp-Rsp scaling relation with about 0.15 dex scatter.

Morphology, sizes, and scatter in a large sample of distant quiescent galaxies
New high-redshift quiescent galaxy sample shows size decreasing with redshift and wavelength, with stellar mass plus redshift sufficient to predict size but large residual scatter.

The PARADIGM Project II: Characterising Nuclear and Diffuse Radio Components in Local U/LIRGs
Multi-scale radio observations of 15 local U/LIRGs decompose emission to show nuclear components contribute ~50% on average while diffuse SF-related emission dominates ~80% of total power, with radio excess linked to ...

Exploring velocity dispersion anisotropy in a dark matter dominated ultra-diffuse galaxy with modified gravity models
For NGC1052-DF44, MOND and RGGR modified gravity fits with free orbital anisotropy match the observed velocity dispersion as well as an NFW dark matter halo.

Probing the Variation of the Inner Surface-Brightness Profile of Nuclear Star Clusters on the Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Mass Measurements Using Mock Observations of ELT/MICADO and HARMONI
Simulations combining MICADO imaging and HARMONI kinematics show that variations in nuclear star cluster inner surface-brightness slope affect IMBH mass estimates derived via Jeans Anisotropic Modeling.

Enhancing Gravitational Lens Study with Deep Learning: A Study on Effects of Dropout Regularization
Dropout in an AlexNet-based CNN raises R² to ~0.96 and reduces SIE parameter errors by 60-76% on simulated galaxy-galaxy lens images.
