Description
This paper presents an automatic method for (1) digital estimation of the width of the atmospherical seeing in astronomical images of extended objects and (2) image restoration by using the constrained Jansson-Van Cittert deconvolution algorithm. The estimation of the seeing is achieved by computing the radial profile of the averaged log spectrum of the image. The result of this estimation is then applied to compute the Point Spread Function (PSF) used in the deconvolution process. The method is applied to a photographical image of a sunspot. The quality of the restoration assesses the power and usefulness of the method.

    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
