We present $10$ main-sequence ALPINE galaxies (log($M/M_{\odot}$) = 9.2-11.1 and ${\rm SFR}=23-190\,{\rm M_{\odot}\,yr^{-1}}$) at $z\sim4.5$ with optical [OII] measurements from Keck/MOSFIRE spectroscopy and Subaru/MOIRCS narrow-band…

We present cosmological parameter constraints from a blind joint analysis of three two-point correlation functions measured from the Year 3 Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC-Y3) imaging data, covering 416 deg$^2$, and the SDSS DR11 spectroscopic…

We present an initial study of one of the first ALMA Band 3 observations of the Sun with the aim to characterise the diagnostic potential of brightness temperatures measured with ALMA on the Sun. The observation covers 48min at a cadence of…

We present first results from the Southern Cosmology Survey, a new multiwavelength survey of the southern sky coordinated with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), a recently commissioned ground-based mm-band Cosmic Microwave Background…

We have developed observation control software for the Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrometer (IGRINS) slit-viewing camera module, which maintains the position of an astronomical target on the spectroscopic slit. It is composed of several…

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is a powerful tool for high-resolution mapping of comets, but the main interferometer (comprised of 50x12-m antennas) is insensitive to the largest coma scales due to a lack of very…

Colocalization analysis aims to study complex spatial associations between bio-molecules via optical imaging techniques. However, existing colocalization analysis workflows only assess an average degree of colocalization within a certain…

The Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST) offers excellent imaging quality, but it has a comparatively small field of view. This means that while observing the solar photosphere, there has been no convenient way of calibrating the image scale…
