Description
The way in which the evaluation of any moment of the mass distribution, as given by the Zeldovich (1970) approximation, may be reduced to the computation of an integral is shown. A method for obtaining a two-point correlation function from the product of the density fluctuation and the Lagrangian coordinate is presented. Local approximations that, unlike the Zeldovich one, allow for the nonlinear evolution an ellipsoid's axes are considered. It is inferred that the use of nonlinear local approximations could lead to a substantial improvement with respect to the Zeldovich one in the prediction of those features of the mass distribution related to regions with high density contrast, e.g., cluster densities.

    Calibrating the Clock of JWST
    JWST, despite not being designed to observe astrophysical phenomena that vary on rapid timescales, can be an unparalleled tool for such studies. If timing systematics can be controlled, JWST will be able to open up the subsecond infrared timescale regime. Rapid time-domain studies, such as lag measurements in accreting compact objects and solar

    Comparing metallicity correlations in nearby non-AGN and AGN-host galaxies
    The gas-phase metallicity distribution within galaxies records critical information about galactic evolution. In this work, we investigate how active galactic nuclei (AGNs) influence this distribution by measuring the two-point correlation functions of gas-phase metallicity in 95 non-AGN and 37 AGN-host galaxies from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral

    Multiband Optical Variability of the Blazar 3C 454.3 on Diverse Timescales
    Due to its peculiar and highly variable nature, the blazar 3C 454.3 has been extensively monitored by the WEBT team. Here, we present for the first time these long-term optical flux and color variability results using data acquired in B, V, R, and I bands over a time span of about two decades. We include data from WEBT collaborators and public
