Natively, atomic and molecular processes develop in a sub-femtosecond time scale. In order to, for instance, track and capture the electron motion in that scale we need suitable `probes'. Attosecond pulses configure the most appropriate…

The active star-forming region W33B is a source of OH and H2O maser emission located in distinct zones around the central object. The aim was to obtain the complete Stokes pattern of polarised OH maser emission, to trace its variability and…

Context. Anomalous microwave emission (AME) is a component of interstellar medium emission peaking at 10-60 GHz. Its polarization is both a CMB foreground and a probe of the alignment physics of very small dust grains. Aims. We quantify…
