Cover Story: For over 30 years, the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) has transformed our view of the Universe. Originally designed to search for dark matter through microlensing, OGLE has evolved into one of the most productive sky surveys in the history of astronomy. Its systematic observations of approximately two billion stars have provided insights into stellar variability, led to the discovery of exoplanets, and advanced our understanding of Galactic and extragalactic structure. The OGLE Collection of Variable Stars (OCVS) is not only a global resource but is also becoming a standard training dataset for machine learning models due to its purity and completeness. OGLE continues to inspire discovery at the frontier of astrophysics. View this paper

As we enter the final year of the second extended mission of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), it is time to reflect on what the TESS mission has contributed to the advancement of astronomy. Thousands of papers based on TESS data have...

We further investigate novel features of the T-vacuum state, originally defined in the context of quantum field theory in a (1+1)-dimensional radiation-dominated universe. Here, we extend the previous work to a realistic (3+1)-dimensional setup and s...

We generalize our recent work on k-essence sourcing Kerr–Schild spacetimes to the kinetic gravity braiding scalar field. For k-essence, in order for a perturbative Kerr–Schild-type solution to become exact, the k-essence Lagrangian must e...
