Description
Clusters of galaxies are powerful cosmological probes, and the thermal Sunyaev Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect provides an efficient method for their detection. High-angular-resolution observations, such as those provided by the NIKA2 camera on the IRAM 30-m telescope, are essential to target low mass and high-redshift clusters. We performed a blind search for galaxy clusters in the COSMOS field using 150 GHz data from the NIKA2 Cosmological Legacy Survey. We applied a matched-filter technique based on a universal pressure profile to extract cluster candidates. The purity and completeness of the sample were assessed using realistic simulations. We detected 16 cluster candidates above an S/N of 4, eight of which have confirmed counterparts.

    A Mass Transferring Brown Dwarf Binary on a 57 Minute Orbit
    Mass transfer in stellar binaries has been well studied in most stellar mass ranges, with the notable exception of ultracool stars and substellar brown dwarfs. We report the discovery of ZTF J1239+8347 with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a brown dwarf binary currently undergoing stable mass transfer with an orbital period of 57.41 minutes

    Overview of final results from the NIKA2 Sunyaev-Zeldovich Large Program
    The NIKA2 SZ Large Program (LPSZ) is devoted to the highangular resolution SZ mapping of a representative sample of SZ-selected clusters, at intermediate to high redshift, drawn from the catalogues of the Planck satellite and of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. Central to this program is the synergy between SZ observations and X-ray data, utilizing

    J-PAS: forecast on the primordial power spectrum reconstruction
    We investigate the capability of the J-PAS survey to constrain the primordial power spectrum using a non-parametric Bayesian method. Specifically, we analyze simulated power spectra generated by an oscillatory primordial feature template motivated by non-standard inflation. The feature is placed within the range of scales where the signal-to-noise
