Description
We report some recent of the Tenerife experiments. On a strip at Dec = +40° we have identified structure in the microwave sky at several frequencies. Clear evidence is found for a feature centred at RA 185° with a peak amplitude of 80 K. A statistical analysis of the data at this declination reveals the presence of signal at an rms of 42 ± 9 K. Assuming a model of a Harrison-Zeldovich spectrum of fluctuations, we infer an expected quadrupole term of 25-7+9 K. The radiometers are now observing adjacent bands of the sky separated 2.5 degrees in declination; some of the preliminary results obtained in these adjacent scans are discussed.

    An ultra-short-period super-Earth with an extremely high density and an outer companion
    We present the discovery and characterization of a new multi-planetary system around the Sun-like star K2-360 (EPIC 201595106). K2-360 was first identified in K2 photometry as the host of an ultra-short-period (USP) planet candidate with a period of 0.88 d. We obtained follow-up transit photometry, confirming the star as the host of the signal

    CEERS Key Paper. IX. Identifying Galaxy Mergers in CEERS NIRCam Images Using Random Forests and Convolutional Neural Networks
    A crucial yet challenging task in galaxy evolution studies is the identification of distant merging galaxies, a task that suffers from a variety of issues ranging from telescope sensitivities and limitations to the inherently chaotic morphologies of young galaxies. In this paper, we use random forests and convolutional neural networks to identify

    Distance estimation of gamma-ray-emitting BL Lac objects from imaging observations
    Aims. The direct redshift determination of BL Lac objects is highly challenging as the emission in the optical and near-infrared bands is largely dominated by the non-thermal emission from the relativistic jet, which points very close to our line of sight. Therefore, the optical spectra of BL Lac objects often show no spectral lines from the host
