The Milky Way Backup Program (MWBP), a survey currently underway with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on the Nicholas U. Mayall 4 m Telescope, works at the margins of the DESI Main surveys to obtain spectra of millions of additional stars from the Gaia catalog. Efficiently utilizing times between ∼12° and 18° twilight and poor

The Galactic Bulge, as the center of the Galaxy, is the closest laboratory for studying galaxy formation and evolution. However, its study faces significant challenges due to heavy dust extinction. This paper is devoted to deriving the average age of the Galactic Bulge and investigating its spatial distribution. We utilize a high-precision PSF

We present a multi-frequency, multi-epoch catalog of extragalactic sources. The catalog is based on 150, 220, and 280 GHz observations carried out in 2008, 2009, and 2010 using the Millimeter Bolometric Array Camera on the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. We also present and release 280 GHz maps from 2008 and 2010. The catalog contains 483 sources

Context. The dust observed in debris disks is the result of a collisional cascade initiated from approximately kilometer-sized parent bodies. Using near-infrared to submillimeter observations, we can probe particle sizes spanning 2-3 orders of magnitude, and with sufficient angular resolution we can follow the dynamics of these dust particles

Context. Detecting light reflected off the dayside of an exoplanet in high-resolution spectroscopic data has proved to be a notoriously difficult endeavour. Despite several attempts, the faint signal has yet to be detected. Aims. We present a new effort at finding reflection signatures and show how a strong rotational broadening of the reflected
