Description
We report optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the field containing the neutron star X-ray transient XTE J1739-285 (IAUC #7300, ATel #622). The recently reported Chandra localization (ATel #777) provides a significant improvement over the Swift XRT position reported in ATel #602, facilitating the identification of potential counterparts. Optical observations were performed on 2005 Aug 30 20:59-21:14 UT and 2005-09-16 20:39-20:55 at the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on La Palma using ALFOSC.

    Estimation of the hydrostatic-to-lensing mass bias from resolved cluster masses

    We present a study on the bias of hydrostatic masses with respect to lensing mass estimates for a sample of 53 clusters in a redshift range between z = 0.05 and 1.07. The M 500 mass for each cluster was inferred from X-ray and lensing data, without using a priori observable-mass scaling relations. Cluster masses of our reference analysis were

    IRAM 30-meter millimeter follow-up of deep OSIRIS-GTC optical surveys

    It is broadly accepted that CO is a reliable tracer of H2 in massive IR (L IR ≳ 10 9 L ⊙) galaxies, and that there are clear correlations between L IR and L' CO that are qualitatively independent of environment and even redshift. We present two tales on the search for 12CO emission from dusty star-forming galaxies in both field (Lockman Hole, z < 0

    The NIKA2 Sunyaev-Zeldovich Large Program. Sample and upcoming product public release

    The NIKA2 camera operating at the IRAM 30-m telescope excels in high-angular resolution mapping of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect towards galaxy clusters at intermediate and high-redshift. As part of the NIKA2 guaranteed-time, the SZ Large Program (LPSZ) aims at tSZ-mapping a representative sample of SZ-selected galaxy clusters in the
