Description
A C60 fullerene/tetracene adduct was synthesized and studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy. Essentially the mono-adduct was obtained as suggested by the spectroscopic analysis and by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The stability and the retro Diels-Alder reaction of the C60/tetracene adduct was studied by TGA, differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTG) and by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that the adduct is stable above 300°C and decomposes at 323-390 °C according to the DSC analysis. The decomposition involves the release of tetracene and the restoration of C60 in high yields. However, part of the C60 is lost as amorphous carbon in the retro Diels-Alder reaction.

    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
