Description
The physics of infrared emission processes is examined, taking into account black body radiation, radiation from dust particles, thermal plasma emission, nonthermal plasma emission (synchrotron), line emission from gaseous nebulae, and line emission from molecular clouds. Late-type stars and mass loss are considered along with early-type stars, young clusters and embedded objects, molecular clouds, H II regions, planetary nebulae, and the galactic center region. Extragalactic sources are also discussed, giving attention to galaxies in the infrared, Seyfert and related infrared galaxies, quasars and BL Lac objects, normal galaxies, infrared galaxy searches, red-shifted galaxies, and the cosmic background radiation.

    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
