Description
We have carried out broad band photometry of the interacting galaxy system NGC 6090 from 3.6 to 200μm using ISOPHOT. This is complemented by a low resolution spectrum in the wavelength range 2.5-11.5μm. The IR spectral energy distribution of a starburst galaxy is shown with unprecedented detail. From our Far Infrared measurements we can demonstrate that the starburst component is the dominating energy source in this object. 84% of the total IR output is in the wavelength range below 120μm, while 16% is in the 120 to 240μm range. Emission in the PAH bands is an essential radiation mechanism in the wavelength range shortward of 10μm for this object. We discuss various published starburst models and their applicability to NGC 6090.

    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

    Model-based identification of solar coronal mass ejections using deep neural networks
    Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are a major driver of space weather and thus can have important negative technological and social impacts. To assess their geoeffectiveness once they are ejected, it is crucial their prompt identification in coronagraph images. In the last decade, deep neural networks (DNN) have experienced enormous improvements in
