Description
We present a procedure for associating statistical significances with the results of the likelihood analysis of the experiment of Davies et al. (1987) for the detection cosmic background radiation temperature fluctuations. This procedure allows us to say that a Chi-squared test which accounts for the correlation of the measurements is to be preferred to the likelihood analysis.

    Single-epoch and Differential Astrometric Microlensing of Quasars
    We propose and discuss a new experimental approach to measure the centroid shift induced by gravitational microlensing in the images of lensed quasars (astrometric microlensing). Our strategy is based on taking the photocenter of a region in the quasar large enough as to be insensitive to microlensing as reference to measure the centroid

    A 20 kiloparsec bipolar Lyman α outflow from a radio galaxy at z = 2.95
    The study of ionized gas kinematics in high-z active galaxies plays a key part in our understanding of galactic evolution, in an age where nuclear activity was widespread and star formation close to its peak. We present a study of TXS 0952−217, a radio galaxy at z = 2.95, using VLT/MUSE integral field optical spectroscopy as part of a project aimed

    Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal). I. The formation and evolution of the thin disc from the Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars
    Context. The study of the Milky Way is living a golden era thanks to the enormous high-quality datasets delivered by Gaia, and space asteroseismic and ground-based spectroscopic surveys. However, the current major challenge to reconstructing the chronology of the Milky Way is the difficulty to derive precise stellar ages for large samples of stars
