We present a collection of open-source software utilities developed within the Nordic ALMA Regional Centre to support the analysis of radio interferometric data. The tools address crucial aspects of the interferometric workflow, including direct model fitting in the visibility domain, stacking of continuum and spectral-line emission to enhance sensitivity, early data-quality diagnostics using...

Our mission at the Nordic ARC node is to fully support all ALMA users, primarily in the Nordic and Baltic countries, from proposal development and submission, to observation preparation, and data reduction and analysis, as well as support of ALMA archival science. In addition to general support services we offer specialist scientific and technical expertise. This includes imaging techniques...

The Canary Island observatories, operated by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), constitute one of the leading astronomical observing sites worldwide. Located at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma) and the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) in Spain, the sites offer excellent atmospheric conditions, with stable seeing, and a high fraction of clear nights.
The...

The La Palma Quantum Interferometer (LPQI) is an innovative project in optical intensity interferometry lead by Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA), designed to harness the exceptional observing conditions and infrastructure at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) on La Palma managed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). In its first phase, the LPQI-Pathfinder...

We present a new FAIR-compliant interface for accessing data from the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT). The platform enables comprehensive FITS-level filtering, allowing researchers worldwide to query observations from the beginning of NOT operations up to the one-year proprietary period.
The system supports both simple and advanced queries, including filtering by file and target name...

BLAST is going to monitor the sky for transients at high time resolution. The core science cases are detecting: 1) short lived bright transients, 2) slower transients, like SNe, 3) Jupiter like transiting planets in Jupiter like orbits, 4) asteroids heading towards Earth. We are building prototypes of very wide field cameras, that in pairs monitor each 1.1% of the sky (450 sqr degrees) with a...

The AZT-12 1.5-m telescope at Tartu Observatory offers unique guaranteed access to objects in the Northern Hemisphere, facilitating long-term monitoring of various targets. This instrument has recently undergone significant upgrades, including the installation of a medium-resolution fibre-fed echelle spectrograph covering a wavelength range from 380 nm to 910 nm. This spectrograph offers...

Understanding the origin and evolution of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen (CNO) is key to reconstructing the chemical history of the Milky Way and its earliest star-forming environments.

Within the framework of the larger DAINA CNO project, in collaboration with Poland and Lithuania, we aim to trace the enrichment of these elements across Galactic populations through a homogeneous,... -

Cosmic rays provide non-thermal pressure in the interstellar medium (ISM), affecting star formation and galactic winds, which in turn alter phase structure and pressure balance in the circumgalactic medium (CGM). Recent numerical studies have shown that these effects depend strongly on the diffusion of cosmic rays in the ISM, typically quantified by an effective diffusion coefficient. Methods...
