Description
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has a rich history of releasing value-added catalogs for objects of interest to researchers, especially quasars. In that vein, we present the sixteenth quasar catalog for SDSS and the last quasar catalog for the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). This new catalog of quasars, the largest to date, will include all previously identified and inspected quasars from past catalog releases and should add ~100,000 newly observed quasars detected over an area larger than 9300 deg2. Overall the catalog will contain about 750,000 unique quasars, of which ~400,000 will have been visually confirmed and inspected. In addition to presenting redshift and spectroscopic data obtained from SDSS and eBOSS, we will include multiwavelength data for many quasars from 2MASS, GALEX, UKIDSS, ROSAT, XMM, and WISE.

    The TESS TTV Follow-up Program: Revealing Volatile-Rich Terrestrial Planets Around M Stars
    Models predict that water-rich planets may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Recent JWST observations of sub-Neptune sized planets orbiting nearby M dwarfs found atmospheres enriched in CH4, CO2 and H2O, but the enrichment mechanism is debated. To answer this question

    The instrumentation plan of the 10.4m GTC telescope
    The 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) was designed to be a versatile telescope, able to serve a wide scientific community. To this aim, various focal stations have been equipped, including a Cassegrain, two Nasmyth foci, and four folded-Cassegrain stations. This allows an ambitious instrumentation plan to be developed. We present the latest

    Design and fabrication of fold mirror (M3) system for New Robotic Telescope
    The New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an autonomous telescope that can operate multiple instruments at the Cassegrain focal station and the straight-through port. The optical beam is directed to the ports by a fold mirror subsystem in the focal station assembly. The fold mirror is elliptical in shape, manufactured by Instituto Nazionale di Astrofisica
