Description
The region around the Herbig Ae/Be star LKH-alpha198 was imaged at 10 micrometer with the CAMIRAS camera at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and the Nordic Optical Telescope. We discovered a deeply embedded companion 6 sec north of LKH-alpha198, which may be responsible for most of the far-infrared emission in the region and for driving the molecular flow. LKH-alpha198 appears point-like at our resolution (full width at half maximum of approximately 1.3 sec), excluding an extended envelope of transiently heated small grains as the dominant origin of the mid-infrared excess in that star.

    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

    Euclid: High-precision imaging astrometry and photometry from Early Release Observations: I. Internal kinematics of NGC6397 by combining Euclid and Gaia data
    The instruments at the focus of the Euclid space observatory offer superb, diffraction-limited imaging over an unprecedented (from space) wide field of view of 0.57 deg 2. This exquisite image quality has the potential to produce high-precision astrometry for point sources once the undersampling of Euclid's cameras is taken into account by means of

    Blue supergiants as a progenitor of intermediate-luminosity red transients
    The current perspective about the explosions of massive hydrogen-rich blue supergiants is that they resemble SN 1987A. These so-called peculiar Type II supernovae, however, are one of the rarest types of supernovae and may not hence be the fate of all blue supergiants. In this work, we explore other explosion scenarios for blue supergiants. We
