Description
The galaxy cluster RX J0152.7-1357 at z=0.8325 is one of the most luminous X-ray clusters known. It is elongated toward the bright, nearby, X-ray active galaxy NGC 720 about 14' away. At the same distance on the other side of that galaxy is an X-ray blue stellar object with a flux of 5.8 counts ks-1 in the ROSAT PSPC detector. An intermediate-resolution optical spectrum of this blue stellar object taken with the Keck I telescope has resulted in the unambiguous identification of this source with a QSO at redshift z=0.8312, the same redshift as the galaxy cluster. We discuss the implications of this discovery in the framework of the standard model for large-scale structure formation.

    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

    Counting stars from the integrated spectra of galaxies
    Over the last few decades, evolutionary population synthesis models have powered an unmatched leap forward in our understanding of galaxies. From dating the age of the first galaxies in the Universe to providing detailed measurements of the chemical composition of nearby galaxies, the success of this approach built upon simple stellar population

    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
