Description
We confirm the planetary nature of two transiting hot Jupiters discovered by the Kepler spacecraft’s K2 extended mission in its Campaign 4, using precise radial velocity measurements from FIES@NOT, HARPS-N@TNG, and the coudé spectrograph on the McDonald Observatory 2.7 m telescope. K2-29 b (EPIC 211089792b) transits a K1V star with a period of 3.2589263 ± 0.0000015 days; its orbit is slightly eccentric (e={0.084}-0.023+0.032). It has a radius of {R}P={1.000}-0.067+0.071 RJ and a mass of {M}P={0.613}-0.026+0.027 MJ. Its host star exhibits significant rotational variability, and we measure a rotation period of {P}{rot}=10.777+/- 0.031 days. K2-30 b (EPIC 210957318 b) transits a G6V star with a period of 4.098503 ± 0.000011 days. It has a radius of {R}P={1.039}-0.051+0.050 RJ and a mass of {M}P={0.579}-0.027+0.028 MJ. The star has a low metallicity for a hot Jupiter host, [{Fe}/{{H}}]=-0.15+/- 0.05.

    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
