Description
Extensive high sensitivity observations of the cosmic microwave background have been made on an angular scale of 8° covering a substantial fraction of the northern sky. An observed anisotropy in the sky emission at a level of ΔT/T = 3.7×10-5 has been detected (T is temperature). This level should strictly be interpreted as an upper limit to the cosmic microwave background fluctuations. It is possibly the direct imprint of density perturbations in the early universe.

    Discovery and Characterization of an Eccentric, Warm Saturn Transiting the Solar Analog TOI-4994
    We present the detection and characterization of TOI-4994b (TIC 277128619b), a warm Saturn-sized planet discovered by the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. TOI-4994b transits a G-type star (V = 12.6 mag) with a mass, radius, and effective temperature of M ⋆ = 1.00 5 ‑ 0.061 + 0.064 M ⊙ , R ⋆ = 1.05 5 ‑ 0.037 + 0.040 R ⊙ , and T eff = 5640

    Hyperons during proto-neutron star deleptonization and the emission of dark flavoured particles
    Complementary to high-energy experimental efforts, indirect astrophysical searches of particles beyond the standard model have long been pursued. The present article follows the latter approach and considers, for the first time, the self-consistent treatment of the energy losses from dark flavoured particles produced in the decay of hyperons during

    ALESS-JWST: Joint (Sub)kiloparsec JWST and ALMA Imaging of z ~ 3 Submillimeter Galaxies Reveals Heavily Obscured Bulge Formation Events
    We present JWST NIRCam imaging targeting 13 z ~ 3 infrared-luminous (L IR ∼ 5 × 10 12L ⊙) galaxies from the ALESS survey with uniquely deep, high-resolution (0 . ″ 08–0 . ″ 16) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array 870 μm imaging. The 2.0–4.4 μm (observed frame) NIRCam imaging reveals the rest-frame near-infrared stellar emission in these
