Description
Following our optical monitoring of the halo black-hole candidate XTE J1118+480 (ATELs #383, #402, #424), we have obtained time-resolved R-band photometry with the ESA 1-m OGS telescope at the Spanish Observatorio del Teide and with the FLWO 1.2m telescope on Mt. Hopkins. Our observations show that the source has settled into a near-quiescence level, about 0.6-mag brighter than in true quiescence (R~18.9; IAUC #7868).

    Estimation of the hydrostatic-to-lensing mass bias from resolved cluster masses
    We present a study on the bias of hydrostatic masses with respect to lensing mass estimates for a sample of 53 clusters in a redshift range between z = 0.05 and 1.07. The M 500 mass for each cluster was inferred from X-ray and lensing data, without using a priori observable-mass scaling relations. Cluster masses of our reference analysis were

    IRAM 30-meter millimeter follow-up of deep OSIRIS-GTC optical surveys
    It is broadly accepted that CO is a reliable tracer of H2 in massive IR (L IR ≳ 10 9 L ⊙) galaxies, and that there are clear correlations between L IR and L' CO that are qualitatively independent of environment and even redshift. We present two tales on the search for 12CO emission from dusty star-forming galaxies in both field (Lockman Hole, z < 0

    The NIKA2 Sunyaev-Zeldovich Large Program. Sample and upcoming product public release
    The NIKA2 camera operating at the IRAM 30-m telescope excels in high-angular resolution mapping of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect towards galaxy clusters at intermediate and high-redshift. As part of the NIKA2 guaranteed-time, the SZ Large Program (LPSZ) aims at tSZ-mapping a representative sample of SZ-selected galaxy clusters in the
