Description
Microvariability observations of two TeV emitting blazars have been made from the Canary Islands International Observatories since 1990. We present a small sample of typical results from the study. We find that, in contrast to the long-term light curve, Mark 501 is more active than Mark 421, suggesting that these, superficially similar objects, are really quite different in characteristics.

    Characterisation at Cryogenic Temperatures of an Attenuator for an Application of Astrophysical Instrumentation with MKIDs
    The use of non-cryogenic certified commercial electronics for cryogenic applications may be attractive due to their cost and availability, but it also carries risks related to reliability, performance and thermal compatibility. The decision to use commercial components that are not certified for cryogenics instead of components specifically

    Crimson Behemoth: A massive clumpy structure hosting a dusty AGN at z=4.91
    The current paradigm for the co-evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes postulates that dust-obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) represent a transitional phase towards a more luminous and unobscured state. However, our understanding of dusty AGNs and their host galaxies at early cosmic times is inadequate due to observational

    The Pristine survey: XXIII. Data Release 1 and an all-sky metallicity catalogue based on Gaia DR3 BP/RP spectro-photometry
    We used the spectro-photometric information of ∼219 million stars from Gaia's Data Release 3 (DR3) to calculate synthetic, narrowband, metallicity-sensitive CaHK magnitudes that mimic the observations of the Pristine survey, a survey of photometric metallicities of Milky Way stars that has been mapping more than 6500 deg 2 of the northern sky with
