Descripción
On the basis of Synthetic Horizontal Branches computed with Sweigart and Gross (1976) Horizontal Branch evolutionary tracks, and by means of Sweigart and Gross (1978) Red Giant Branch star models, the calibration of the ratio R = N(HB)/N(RGB) in terms of helium abundance (Y), He-core mass (Mc) and Horizontal Branch morphology is derived. The results obtained in the present paper confirm that the estimate for Y is independent of the Horizontal Branch morphology, at least within the observed range of R-values and for clusters containing RR Lyrae variables. As far as the occurrence of enhanced He-core mass is concerned, the resulting estimate for Y increases by dY/dΔMc = 0.40. From star counts in some well studied RR Lyrae rich globular clusters a mean value for Y equal to 0.24±0.01 is obtained.

    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
