Description
Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescope is starting its operations with a set of engineering runs to tune the telescope subsystem elements to be ready for the first physics campaign. Many technical improvements have been developed and implemented in several elements of the telescope to reach the lowest energy threshold ever obtained by an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope. A general description of the telescope is presented. The commissioning of the telescope's elements is described and the expected performances are reviewed with the final detector set-up.

    Tidally Heated Sub-Neptunes, Refined Planetary Compositions, and Confirmation of a Third Planet in the TOI-1266 System
    TOI-1266 is a benchmark system of two temperate (<450 K) sub-Neptune-sized planets orbiting a nearby M dwarf exhibiting a rare inverted architecture with a larger interior planet. In this study, we characterize transit timing variations (TTVs) in the TOI-1266 system using high-precision ground-based follow-up and new TESS data. We confirm the

    Quasar Milli-lensing and Cold Dark Matter (TNG50) Subhaloes. I. Image Splitting
    We use numerical mass density profiles from the TNG50 simulation to study the impact of gravitational milli-lensing by dark matter subhaloes on the images of lensed quasars. Specifically, we study the formation of subimages and the probability of their detection. For high-concentration density profiles, the mass determines the amplitude of the

    Exploring the atmosphere of GJ 1132 b with CRIRES+
    With a mass, radius, and mean density similar to Earth's, the rocky planet GJ 1132 b is the first truly small planet for which an atmosphere detection was proposed. If confirmed, ultra-reduced magma outgassing is the only mechanism capable of producing HCN and H 2O in large enough quantities to match the Hubble Space Telescope observations. The
