Description
We present UBV Johnson CCD photometry of two young clusters of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), namely NGC 1850 and NGC 1858, which are located at the NW part of the Bar. We determine their reddening, age and slope of the initial mass function (IMF). The age of NGC 1858 is 8 x 106 yr, while that for the majority of stars in NGC 1850 is 70 x 106 yr. In this cluster a younger generation with age of 8 x 106 yr is also present.

    Characterisation at Cryogenic Temperatures of an Attenuator for an Application of Astrophysical Instrumentation with MKIDs
    The use of non-cryogenic certified commercial electronics for cryogenic applications may be attractive due to their cost and availability, but it also carries risks related to reliability, performance and thermal compatibility. The decision to use commercial components that are not certified for cryogenics instead of components specifically

    The return of FarNet-II: Generation of solar far-side magnetograms from helioseismic data
    Context. The far-side activity of the Sun can be inferred by interpreting the near-side wave field using local helioseismic techniques. However, detections are limited to strongly active regions because signal-to-noise ratio of the data is low. Recently, we developed the FarNet and FarNet-II neural networks to improve the identification of active

    MASTER OT J030227.28+191754.5: An unprecedentedly energetic dwarf nova outburst
    We present a detailed study of the MASTER OT J030227.28 $+$191754.5 outburst in 2021-2022, which reached an amplitude of $10.2\:$mag and a duration of $60\:$d. The detections of (1) the double-peaked optical emission lines, and (2) the early and ordinary superhumps, established that MASTER OT J030227.28 $+$191754.5 is an extremely energetic WZ Sge
