The use of non-cryogenic certified commercial electronics for cryogenic applications may be attractive due to their cost and availability, but it also carries risks related to reliability, performance and thermal compatibility. The decision to use commercial components that are not certified for cryogenics instead of components specifically

Context. Metal-poor stars hold key information on the early Milky Way. Through the identification and characterisation of substructures, one can understand internal mechanisms (including merger and accretion events), which are indispensable to reconstruct the formation history of the Galaxy. Aims. To allow an investigation of a population of very

We assess the capabilities of the LiteBIRD mission to map the hot gas distribution in the Universe through the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. Our analysis relies on comprehensive simulations incorporating various sources of Galactic and extragalactic foreground emission, while accounting for the specific instrumental characteristics of the
