Description
A method for applying a modified Wiener filter to time-tagged single photon data is proposed which can preprocess the data for use by a wide range of image sharpening algorithms. The method is applied to data from the 50-cm Roque de los Muchachos Observatory telescope, resulting in near diffraction limited images of the bright triple-star system ADS6650 with a high dynamic range at extremely low counting rates. The method can be used, with a 1.5-m telescope, for fields containing reference stars as faint as 16.75 mag.

    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

    The Galaxy Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS): V. Unveiling PAH survival and resilience in the circumnuclear regions of AGNs with JWST
    This study analyses JWST MIRI/MRS observations of the infrared (IR) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) bands in the nuclear (∼0.4″ at 11 μm; ∼75 pc) and circumnuclear regions (inner ∼kpc) of local active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the Galactic Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS). We examine the PAH properties in the circumnuclear

    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
