Description
Redshift observations of 30 clusters in the direction of the Sextans-Leo supercluster candidate are reported. The observations are part of a program which involves mapping the universe's large-scale structure, and include North Galactic Cap Abell clusters, Abell clusters that have only been partially observed, and unmeasured poor Zwicky clusters. Three large superclusters are identified in the region which surround an apparent void that is open on one side towards the galaxy void in Bootes. The minimum dimensions of the void are given, and one of the superclusters is identified based on it resemblance to Coma/A1367. The emptiness of the Bootes void and the void of Bahcall and Soneira (1982) are redefined by the positions determined for five clusters observed in other portions of the northern cap. Additionally, some galaxies appear to be within the bounds of the Sextans-Leo void.

    The Orbit and Companion of PSR J1622-0315: Variable Asymmetry and a Massive Neutron Star
    The companion to PSR J1622-0315, one of the most compact known redback millisecond pulsars, shows extremely low irradiation despite its short orbital period. We model this system to determine the binary parameters, combining optical observations from the New Technology Telescope in 2017 and the Nordic Optical Telescope in 2022 with the binary

    A targeted search for strongly lensed supernovae with the Las Cumbres Observatory
    Gravitationally lensed supernovae (glSNe) are of interest for time delay cosmology and SN physics. However, glSNe detections are rare, owing to the intrinsic rarity of SN explosions, the necessity of alignment with a foreground lens, and the relatively short window of detectability. We present the Las Cumbres Observatory Lensed Supernova Search

    Validating full-spectrum fitting with a synthetic integral-field spectroscopic observation of the Milky Way
    Ongoing deep integral-field spectroscopy (IFS) observations of disc galaxies provide opportunities for comparison with the Milky Way (MW) to understand galaxy evolution. However, such comparisons are marred by many challenges such as selection effects, differences in observations and methodology, and proper validation of full-spectrum fitting
