Description
We have compiled all the available optical B band data on OJ287, between 1890 and 1991. Using this data we have found a period of 11.6 +/- 0.5 yr for the outbursts in OJ 287. This value is in good agreement with the period of 11.65 yr between outbursts and 11.05 yr between minima found previously by Sillanpaa et al. (1988), using V-band data. Based on this period we can predict that the next outburst should be at its maximum around August 1994.

    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

    CLASH-VLT: Galaxy cluster MACS J0329–0211 and its surroundings using galaxies as kinematic tracers
    Context. The study of substructure is an important step in determining how galaxy clusters form. Aims. We aim to gain new insights into the controversial dynamical status of MACS J0329–0211 (MACS0329), a massive cluster at z = 0.4503 ± 0.0003, through a new analysis using a large sample of member galaxies as kinematic tracers.

    The CHEOPS view of the climate of WASP-3 b
    Context. Hot Jupiters are giant planets subject to intense stellar radiation. The physical and chemical properties of their atmosphere make them the most amenable targets for atmospheric characterization. Aims. In this paper we analyze the photometry collected during the secondary eclipses of the hot Jupiter WASP-3 b by CHEOPS, TESS, and Spitzer
