Description
An optimal window for image analysis is determined by means of information theory. The size of the window is then used as a good estimator of image quality. The method is sensitive to the size of the structures present in the image (contrary to the contrast method, widely used to select the best images of a series) and can provide a quality map, indicating the zones more or less degraded in the image. In this letter I describe the optimal window method (OWM) and compare it with the contrast method, showing a first application to a series of images taken at Themis IPM.

    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

    CEERS Key Paper. IX. Identifying Galaxy Mergers in CEERS NIRCam Images Using Random Forests and Convolutional Neural Networks
    A crucial yet challenging task in galaxy evolution studies is the identification of distant merging galaxies, a task that suffers from a variety of issues ranging from telescope sensitivities and limitations to the inherently chaotic morphologies of young galaxies. In this paper, we use random forests and convolutional neural networks to identify

    Distance estimation of gamma-ray-emitting BL Lac objects from imaging observations
    Aims. The direct redshift determination of BL Lac objects is highly challenging as the emission in the optical and near-infrared bands is largely dominated by the non-thermal emission from the relativistic jet, which points very close to our line of sight. Therefore, the optical spectra of BL Lac objects often show no spectral lines from the host
