ALMA will become fully operational in a few years and open a new window on primordial galaxies. The mm and submm domain is privileged, since the peak of dust emission between 60 and 100 microns is redshifted there for z= 5-10, and the…

We observed the high-mass protostellar core G335.579-0.272 ALMA1 at ${\sim}200$ au (0.05") resolution with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at 226 GHz (with a mass sensitivity of $5\sigma=0.2$ M$_\odot$ at 10 K). We…

The scientific impact of a facility is the most important measure of its success. Monitoring and analysing the scientific return can help to modify and optimise operations and adapt to the changing needs of scientific research. The…

Light from `point sources' such as supernovae is observed with a beam width of order of the sources' size - typically less than 1 AU. Such a beam probes matter and curvature distributions that are very different from coarse-grained…

The precise mechanisms that provide the non-radiative energy for heating the chromosphere and the corona of the Sun and those of other stars constitute an active field of research. By studying stellar chromospheres one aims at identifying…

The contrasts and magnitude of observable signatures of small-scale features degrade as angular resolution decreases. High-cadence time-series of synthetic observable maps at 1.25 mm were produced from 3D magnetohydrodynamic Bifrost…
