Descripción
Further to ATel #2455 (see also ATels #2380, #2384) detailing recent INTEGRAL observations of the 2010 outburst of the black hole candidate transient source GX 339-4, we report on our optical monitoring observations: the source has brightened by ~ 4 magnitudes in the last 4 months, since its faint state (ATels #2270, #2281). We note that these are the brightest magnitudes we have measured since we started to monitor the source in September 2007.

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of
