Description
Optical spectroscopy of three recently discovered BL Lacs (PG 1246+586, PG 1424+240 and PG 1437+398) in the Palomar-Green optical survey is presented. The three sources have featureless spectra and the continuum is well represented by a power law model with slopes typical of BL Lac objects. The observations together with data at other frequencies collected from the literature, are used to construct the overall energy distribution from radio to X-ray and compared with that of all other BL Lac in the PG survey. The overall properties of the small sample of PG BL Lacs objects are shortly discussed.

    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

    Long-term Study of the 2020 Magnetar-like Outburst of the Young Pulsar PSR J1846-0258 in Kes 75
    Magnetar-like activity has been observed in a large variety of neutron stars. PSR J1846‑0258 is a young 327 ms radio-quiet pulsar with a large rotational power (∼8 × 10 36 erg s ‑1), and resides at the center of the supernova remnant Kes 75. It is one of the rare examples of a high-magnetic-field pulsar showing characteristics both of magnetars and

    Constraining the overcontact phase in massive binary evolution: III. Period stability of known B+B and O+B overcontact systems
    Context. Binary systems play a crucial role in massive star evolution. Systems composed of B-type and O-type stars are of particular interest due to their potential to lead to very energetic phenomena or the merging of exotic compact objects. Aims. We aim to determine the orbital period variations of a sample of B+B and O+B massive overcontact
