Description
The BBKS (Bardeen, Bond, Kaiser and Szalay) expression for the number density of maxima above a threshold in a random Gaussian field (RGF) is used to develop a mathematical technique that would allow the computation of the probability density of filamentary structures arising at random in such a field. A description is given of a procedure for the evaluation of the geometrical coefficients appearing in the expression for the probability density of filaments in a Poissonian distribution of points. The description of a generalized procedure for computing the probability density of any kind of structure arising at random in an RGF is given in Appendix A.

    The Orbit and Companion of PSR J1622-0315: Variable Asymmetry and a Massive Neutron Star
    The companion to PSR J1622-0315, one of the most compact known redback millisecond pulsars, shows extremely low irradiation despite its short orbital period. We model this system to determine the binary parameters, combining optical observations from the New Technology Telescope in 2017 and the Nordic Optical Telescope in 2022 with the binary

    A targeted search for strongly lensed supernovae with the Las Cumbres Observatory
    Gravitationally lensed supernovae (glSNe) are of interest for time delay cosmology and SN physics. However, glSNe detections are rare, owing to the intrinsic rarity of SN explosions, the necessity of alignment with a foreground lens, and the relatively short window of detectability. We present the Las Cumbres Observatory Lensed Supernova Search

    Validating full-spectrum fitting with a synthetic integral-field spectroscopic observation of the Milky Way
    Ongoing deep integral-field spectroscopy (IFS) observations of disc galaxies provide opportunities for comparison with the Milky Way (MW) to understand galaxy evolution. However, such comparisons are marred by many challenges such as selection effects, differences in observations and methodology, and proper validation of full-spectrum fitting
