Description
We present the observations of the Cataclysmic Variable AE Aquarii by 3 instruments of ISO in the previously unexplored range of 4.8-170 microns during a multi-wavelength campaign from the radio to visible wavelengths. Up to 7.3 microns, the major contribution comes from the secondary, with probably some additional cyclotron radiation from the white dwarf magnetic field, and some emission from the accretion stream. Thermal emission of dust grains seems to be very unlikely in AE Aqr. We also constrain the properties of the synchrotron radio-to-far-IR emitting plasmoids far more strongly than previous work. The flares timescale is also predicted to be < 1 min. at frequencies > 400 GHz.

    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    The molecular gas perspective on the growth and death of H emitters in the Spiderweb protocluster at Alpha z=2.16
    Galaxy clusters at low redshift are dominated by massive quiescent galaxies hosting stellar populations 10 Gyrs old, indicating that they were formed in the early universe when clusters were still in the process of being assembled (i.e., protoclusters). The rapid growth of galaxies within protoclusters is driven by the efficient transformation of
