Description
Graphite oxide (GO) and heavily ozonized C60 and C70 fullerenes known as “fullerene ozopolymers” were studied by TGA-FTIR (Thermogravimetry coupled with FT-IR spectroscopy), DTG (Differential Thermogravimetry) and DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis) in air flow. It was found that GO burns at 70°C higher temperature than the fullerene ozopolymers. This different behavior toward the thermal oxidation of GO is due to the size of the oxidized and staked graphene layers which are expected to be significantly larger than those of the fullerene ozopolymers. Furthermore, the latter should necessarily have a buckybowl shaped structure which should favor their reactivity with oxygen.

    An ultra-short-period super-Earth with an extremely high density and an outer companion
    We present the discovery and characterization of a new multi-planetary system around the Sun-like star K2-360 (EPIC 201595106). K2-360 was first identified in K2 photometry as the host of an ultra-short-period (USP) planet candidate with a period of 0.88 d. We obtained follow-up transit photometry, confirming the star as the host of the signal

    Distance estimation of gamma-ray-emitting BL Lac objects from imaging observations
    Aims. The direct redshift determination of BL Lac objects is highly challenging as the emission in the optical and near-infrared bands is largely dominated by the non-thermal emission from the relativistic jet, which points very close to our line of sight. Therefore, the optical spectra of BL Lac objects often show no spectral lines from the host

    Counting stars from the integrated spectra of galaxies
    Over the last few decades, evolutionary population synthesis models have powered an unmatched leap forward in our understanding of galaxies. From dating the age of the first galaxies in the Universe to providing detailed measurements of the chemical composition of nearby galaxies, the success of this approach built upon simple stellar population
