Descripción
The Tenerife beam-switching radiometers have now surveyed an area of one steradian with a resolution of 5 deg to 15 deg. Observations with scaled antennas are made at 10, 15 and 33 GHz to distinguish intrinsic CMB and Galactic fluctuations. The 15 and 33 GHz sensitivity is 20 muK (deltaT/T = 7x10 exp-6) per beam area. These data are supplemented by the recently completed 33 GHz interferometer that explores scales of 2 deg. Our 33 GHz data is shown to be contaminated at a level less than 3 muK (deltaT/T less than 10exp-6) by Galactic synchrotron or free-free emission. The observational data set constrains the gravitational wave (vector) and the Sachs-Wolfe (scalar) contributions to the CMB fluctuations, when taken with COBE on scales of 10 deg to 90 deg. We find the spatial spectral index to be n = 1.1 plus/minus 0.1. Further observations on 1deg-2deg scales with the interferometer will constrain the position of the Doppler peak.

    Performance and first measurements of the MAGIC Stellar Intensity Interferometer
    In recent years, a technology developed between the 1950s and 1970s by the pioneering experiments of Hanbury Brown and Twiss has (re)emerged: the Stellar Intensity Interferometry (SII). Unlike amplitude interferometry, SII exploits a second-order effect that can be measured by correlating the light intensities at different detectors without the

    Distances to globular cluster-rich UDGs: The case of NGC1052-DF2
    Some ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are known to host very large globular cluster (GC) systems, clearly exceeding the expectations for galaxies with such low stellar mass and density and thereby challenging our understanding of star cluster formation and its connection to galaxy evolution. As bright point-sources, GCs in UDGs have been used as

    The luminosity functions of an homogeneous sample of 50 young nearby open clusters
    Open clusters are groups of coeval stars sharing properties such as distance and metallicity, and they are key to understanding stellar evolution. We shed light on the evolution of open clusters with a special focus on the universality of the luminosity function. We applied an upgraded version of the convergent point technique on about 50 open
