Descripción
The search for optical emission from radio hot spots has a long history but, up to now, only very few hot spots with optical synchrotron radiation have been detected. We embarked on a project to search for optical hot spot emission with VLT. We present the first results of near-infrared and optical imaging observations which detected synchrotron emission with a success rate of some 70%.

    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

    LiteBIRD science goals and forecasts. Mapping the hot gas in the Universe
    We assess the capabilities of the LiteBIRD mission to map the hot gas distribution in the Universe through the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. Our analysis relies on comprehensive simulations incorporating various sources of Galactic and extragalactic foreground emission, while accounting for the specific instrumental characteristics of the
