Description
We have obtained spectra for 103 published globular cluster candidates in the Sculptor group galaxies NGC 253 and 55. On the basis of radial velocities and digitized plate images, 14 globular clusters are identified in NGC 253 and one probable globular cluster is identified in NGC 55. The majority of the objects in the sample appear to be background galaxies. We have obtained and analysed COSMOS plate scans of NGC 253 and 55 and use these along with the spectroscopically identified clusters to define new samples of globular cluster candidates in the two galaxies which should have reduced contamination.

    TuMag: The Tunable Magnetograph for the SUNRISE III Mission
    SUNRISE III is a balloon-borne solar observatory dedicated to the investigation of the processes governing the physics of the magnetic field and the plasma flows in the lower solar atmosphere. The gondola hosts a 1-m aperture telescope that feeds three post-focus instruments. One of these instruments, the Tunable Magnetograph (TuMag), is a tunable

    ExoMiner++: Enhanced Transit Classification and a New Vetting Catalog for 2-minute TESS Data
    We present ExoMiner++, an enhanced deep learning model that builds on the success of ExoMiner to improve transit signal classification in 2-minute TESS data. ExoMiner++ incorporates additional diagnostic inputs, including periodogram, flux trend, difference image, unfolded flux, and spacecraft attitude control data, all of which are crucial for
