Description
Galaxy formation by gravitational instability implies the presence of temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background. New observations at 10.45 and 14.9 GHz from the Observatorio del Teide in Tenerife on angular scales of several degrees reveal structure of galactic origin at the lower frequency, while at the upper frequency the magnitude of fluctuations of cosmological origin must be less than 1.8 x 10 exp -5 on a scale of 5 deg. This strongly constrains models of galaxy formation, and is compatible with the recently announced discovery by the COBE satellite of fluctuations on larger angular scales.

    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

    Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium inversions of the Si I 10827 Å spectral line
    Inferring the coupling of different atmospheric layers requires observing spectral lines sensitive to the atmospheric parameters, particularly the magnetic field vector, at various heights. The best way to tackle this goal is to perform multi-line observations simultaneously. For instance, the new version of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
