Description
This paper presents the second part of an extensive study of the properties of the H II region population in a sample of spiral galaxies with active nucleus. This study comprises some 2000 H II regions, distributed in 27 out of the 55 galaxies in the original sample, observed in narrow-band H alpha CCD imaging. About 70% of these H II regions are calibrated in absolute flux. We present the luminosity function, size distribution, the relationship between the H alpha flux and the size, the emission measure, and the radial distribution of the H II regions in each galaxy. We analyze the main properties of the H II regions attending to the Hubble type and to the level of nuclear activity of the host galaxy.

    A universal method for solar filament detection from Hα observations using semi-supervised deep learning
    Filaments are omnipresent features in the solar atmosphere. Their location, properties, and time evolution can provide important information about changes in solar activity and assist in the operational space weather forecast. Therefore, filaments have to be identified in full-disk images and their properties extracted from these images, but manual

    A SART-Based Iterative Inversion Methodology to Infer the Solar Rotation Rate from Global Helioseismic Data
    We present a new iterative rotation inversion technique based on the Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique developed for image reconstruction. We describe in detail our algorithmic implementation and compare it to the classical inversion techniques like the Regularized Least Squares (RLS) and the Optimally Localized Averages (OLA) methods

    TOI-837 b is a young Saturn-sized exoplanet with a massive 70 M<SUB>⊕</SUB> core
    We present an exhaustive photometric and spectroscopic analysis of TOI-837, a F9/G0 35 Myr young star, hosting a transiting exoplanet, TOI-837 b, with an orbital period of ~8.32 d. Utilizing data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and ground-based observations, we determine a planetary radius of $0.818_{-0.024}^{+0.034}$ R J for TOI-837
