Description
CCD photometry of resolved dwarf irregular galaxies was obtained with the 4-m Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory telescope in February 1985. BV data from 77 stars in DDO 187 are used to infer a distance modulus of 28.2 + or - 0.6, placing this galaxy out of the Local Group, at a distance of 4.4 + or - 1.0 Mpc. In the second part, UBV photometry of 142 resolved stars in GR 8 is presented. The results show a distance modulus of 25.0 for GR 8. It is suggested that metal enriched gas loss is required (probably together with a low upper mass limit in the IMF) to explain the metallicity of this galaxy, and that a star formation burst mode is necessary to explain the blue colors of GR 8.

    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

    The Galaxy Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS): V. Unveiling PAH survival and resilience in the circumnuclear regions of AGNs with JWST
    This study analyses JWST MIRI/MRS observations of the infrared (IR) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) bands in the nuclear (∼0.4″ at 11 μm; ∼75 pc) and circumnuclear regions (inner ∼kpc) of local active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the Galactic Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS). We examine the PAH properties in the circumnuclear

    Neural calibration of imaging Stokes polarimeters
    Current polarimetric calibration techniques derive the instrument modulation matrix by numerically fitting an instrumental model to measurements of a set of calibration Stokes vectors. These techniques are typically limited to an error on the retrieved normalized Stokes Q, U and V parameters, in the $1\times10^{-2}$ to $1\times10^{-3}$ range. This
