Description
The gaseous component of the reflection nebula surrounding HD 26676 is investigated by comparing the UV spectrum of the star with that of the foreground star HD 26793. The physical properties of the cloud are constrained under the assumption of Mg photoionization and H ionization by cosmic rays and taking into account the effect of the stellar radiation field on the Mg(0) ionization rate. The average ionization rate is obtained as a function of the extension of the nebula along the line of sight to the embedded star (R). The values determined for the temperature, the mean density, and R for a cosmic ray ionization rate of about 10 to the -16th/s are found to be typical of diffuse H-I regions.

    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

    Dehydrogenation, polymerization and self-assembly in the inhibition of copper surfaces by an ultrathin imidazole film
    Here we present a joint experimental-theoretical study on the deposition of imidazole molecules on a Cu(100) surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) have been carried out on samples prepared upon deposition of sublimated imidazole molecules in ultra-high vacuum (UHV).

    Constraints on VHE gamma-ray emission of flat spectrum radio quasars with the MAGIC telescopes
    Flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) constitute a class of jetted active galaxies characterized by a very luminous accretion disc, prominent and rapidly moving line-emitting cloud structures (broad-line region, BLR), and a surrounding dense dust structure known as dusty torus. The intense radiation field of the accretion disc strongly determines the
