We present an overview of user-support activities carried out at the Onsala Space Observatory (OSO), highlighting its role in enabling radio astronomy research across multiple facilities. As the host of the Nordic ALMA Regional Centre, OSO provides support throughout the full lifecycle of interferometric projects, including proposal preparation, data reduction, and advanced analysis. This is...

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...

We present the design of the Binocular Large Area Survey Telescope (BLAST), which is designed to cover the whole sky with 10 sec time resolution. It consists of pairs of cameras covering 1.1% of the sky each. The design, manufacturing, operation and data analysis is discussed. The project is funded by a Villum Eksperiment grant to build the first few prototypes.

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...

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...

We present a time-resolved spectral study of the gamma-ray burst GRB 241030A using joint observations from Swift and Fermi. The burst light curve shows two distinct emission episodes separated by a quiet interval. Our analysis indicates that the prompt emission is produced by synchrotron radiation and is best explained by internal shocks in a matter-dominated outflow. The first...
