We present a study of the weak lensing inferred matter profiles ΔΣ(R) of 698 South Pole Telescope (SPT) thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (tSZE) selected and MCMF optically confirmed galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.25 < z < 0.94 that have associated weak gravitational lensing shear profiles from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Rescaling these

Context. We analyse multi-colour photometric and spectroscopic observations of the young stellar object (YSO) Gaia20bdk. Aims. We aim to investigate the exact nature of the eruptive phenomenon that the star has been undergoing since 2018. Methods. We used public-domain archival photometry to characterise the quiescent phase and to establish the

We report follow-up observations of three poorly studied AM CVn-type binaries: CRTS CSS150211 J091017-200813, NSV 1440, and SDSS J183131.63+420220.2. Analysing time-series photometry obtained with a range of ground-based facilities as well as with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we determine the superhump period of CRTS J0910-2008

Context. The large-scale linear halo bias encodes the relation between the clustering of dark-matter (DM) halos and that of the underlying matter density field. Although the primary dependence of bias on halo mass is well understood in the context of structure formation, the physical origins of the multiple additional relations at fixed halo mass

Context. Small-scale magnetic flux emergence in the quiet Sun is crucial for maintaining solar magnetic activity. On the smallest scales studied so far, namely within individual granules, two mechanisms have been identified: emergence in tiny magnetic loops and emergence in the form of magnetic flux sheets covering the granule. While there are

We present the discovery of the variable optical counterpart to PSR J2055 $+$1545, a redback millisecond pulsar, and the first radial velocity curve of its companion star. The multiband optical light curves of this system show a 0.4- $0.6 \ \mathrm{mag}$ amplitude modulation with a single peak per orbit and variable colours, suggesting that the
