Description
A broad range of type I post-main-sequence nebulae have been mapped and studied spectroscopically in the J = 1 - 0, J = 2 - 1, and J = 3 - 2 transitions of CO using the 12-m antenna at Kitt Peak and the 45-m facility at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory. CO J = 2 - 1 emission associated with NGC 3132 and NGC 6445 is detected; the location of CO J = 1 - 0 emission in the nucleus of NGC 6302 is determined, and CO J = 3 - 2 spectroscopy is obtained for the first time for a substantial cross section of type I sources. The nature of the emission is assessed, and its correlation with H2S(1) and optical shock indicators and the underlying processes responsible for the observed trends are discussed.

    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

    Crimson Behemoth: A massive clumpy structure hosting a dusty AGN at z=4.91
    The current paradigm for the co-evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes postulates that dust-obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) represent a transitional phase towards a more luminous and unobscured state. However, our understanding of dusty AGNs and their host galaxies at early cosmic times is inadequate due to observational

    The Pristine survey: XXIII. Data Release 1 and an all-sky metallicity catalogue based on Gaia DR3 BP/RP spectro-photometry
    We used the spectro-photometric information of ∼219 million stars from Gaia's Data Release 3 (DR3) to calculate synthetic, narrowband, metallicity-sensitive CaHK magnitudes that mimic the observations of the Pristine survey, a survey of photometric metallicities of Milky Way stars that has been mapping more than 6500 deg 2 of the northern sky with
