Description
SN 1988A is (with exception of the well-observed SN 1987A) the only type II SN for which observations of the late tail of the light curve are presently available. This SN showed a brief spike in the early visual light curve followed by a long plateau lasting for about 3 months. Spectra taken during both the plateau and the postplateau phases confirm its being also a classical event of the type II-P class, very similar to SN 1969L and SN 1986I. In this paper, the visual light curve up to 500 days after maximum is reconstructed, and the possible mechanisms that can contribute to the very late luminosity are reviewed. Radioactive decay of Co-56 seems to be the main contributor to very late luminosity.

    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

    Neural calibration of imaging Stokes polarimeters
    Current polarimetric calibration techniques derive the instrument modulation matrix by numerically fitting an instrumental model to measurements of a set of calibration Stokes vectors. These techniques are typically limited to an error on the retrieved normalized Stokes Q, U and V parameters, in the $1\times10^{-2}$ to $1\times10^{-3}$ range. This

    CEERS Key Paper. IX. Identifying Galaxy Mergers in CEERS NIRCam Images Using Random Forests and Convolutional Neural Networks
    A crucial yet challenging task in galaxy evolution studies is the identification of distant merging galaxies, a task that suffers from a variety of issues ranging from telescope sensitivities and limitations to the inherently chaotic morphologies of young galaxies. In this paper, we use random forests and convolutional neural networks to identify
