Outlier Detection in the DESI Bright Galaxy Survey
We present an unsupervised search for outliers in the Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) dataset from the DESI Early Data Release.

GetDist: a Python package for analysing Monte Carlo samples
Monte Carlo techniques, including MCMC and other methods, are widely used and generate sets of samples from a parameter space of interest that can be used to infer or plot quantities of interest.

The early Universe was dust-rich and extremely hot
We investigate the dust properties and star-formation signature of galaxies in the early universe by stacking 111227 objects in the recently released COSMOS catalogue on maps at wavelengths bracketing the peak of warmed dust emission.

Statistical properties of flux variations in blazar light curves at GeV and TeV energies
Using Bayesian blocks and the Eisenstein-Hut HOP algorithm, we characterize flux variations of high significance in the $\gamma$-ray light curves of two samples of blazars.

Pre-merger alert to detect the very-high-energy prompt emission from binary neutron-star mergers: Einstein Telescope and Cherenkov Telescope Array synergy
We discuss the results in terms of possible scenarios of production of VHE photons from binary neutron star mergers by considering GRB prompt and afterglow emissions.

ixpeobssim: a Simulation and Analysis Framework for the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
The core ixpeobssim simulation capabilities are complemented by a full suite of post-processing applications, allowing for the implementation of complex, polarization-aware analysis pipelines, and facilitating the inter-operation with the standard visualization and analysis tools traditionally in use by the X-ray community.

Deep Learning of DESI Mock Spectra to Find Damped Lyα Systems
We have optimized the training process and constructed a CNN model that yields a DLA classification accuracy above 99$\%$ for spectra which have signal-to-noise (S/N) above 5 per pixel.

Redback: A Bayesian inference software package for electromagnetic transients
We demonstrate through a series of examples how {\sc Redback} can be used as a tool to simulate a large population of transients for realistic surveys, fit models to real, simulated, or private data, multi-messenger inference and serve as an end-to-end software toolkit for parameter estimation and interpreting the nature of electromagnetic transients.

Testing Quadratic Maximum Likelihood estimators for forthcoming Stage-IV weak lensing surveys
Headline constraints on cosmological parameters from current weak lensing surveys are derived from two-point statistics that are known to be statistically sub-optimal, even in the case of Gaussian fields.

Disks as Inhomogeneous, Anisotropic Gaussian Random Fields
In the second, by integrating over a movie of a disk, we generate synthetic light curves and show that the high frequency slope of the resulting power spectrum depends on the local covariance model.
