Description
A method for determining the variation in the density of dust particles is described. Here, the altitude above the symmetry plane of interplanetary dust is arrived at through ground-based observations. In describing the method, the geometric relation between sun-particle and particle-observer distances is given. It is intended to use measurements made with a six-channel fast photopolarimeter at the Observatorio del Teide in Spain in an application 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

    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
