Description
Mrk 273 and Mrk 231 are ultra-luminous IR galaxies which show signs of merger activity. Their radio continuum, HI and OH maser emission has been imaged on scales of tens of parsec using MERLIN. Mrk 273 and Mrk 231 are classed as Sy 2 and Sy 1 respectively. The distribution of material and velocity gradients shown by OH masers and HI absorption are consistent with material in a rotating disk or ring. In Mrk 273 the axis is at greater than 45 degrees to the line of sight; in Mrk 231 it is at less than 45 degrees to the line of sight. The amount of mass enclosed is estimated, and its distribution is inferred from irregularities in the masers and comparison with the HI and radio continuum data.

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of
