Descripción
An analysis of IRAS data for a sample of classical (optically selected) Seyfert galaxies is presented. The IRAS fluxes at 25, 60, and 100 μm are found to be uncorrelated or only very weakly correlated with the ultraviolet-optical continuum flux and the fluxes at 3.5 and 10 μm. This provides further evidence that the active nucleus is not the principal source of far-infrared emission. The IRAS measurements for the Seyfert galaxies are compared to IRAS observations of a sample of normal spirals and to a sample of H II region (starburst) galaxies. The distribution of far-IR luminosities and of 60 - 100 μm colors for the Seyfert galaxies and the starburst galaxies are indistinguishable. This indicates that star formation produces the bulk of the far-IR emission in Seyfert galaxies.

    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

    High-resolution observations of recurrent jets from an arch filament system
    Context. Solar jets are collimated plasma ejections along magnetic field lines observed in hot (extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) jets) and cool (chromospheric surges) temperature diagnostics. Their trigger mechanisms and the relationship between hot and cool jets are still not completely understood. Aims. We aim to investigate the generation of a sequence

    KISS: Instrument Description and Performance
    Kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) have been proven as reliable systems for astrophysical observations, especially in the millimeter range. Their compact size enables them to optimally fill the focal plane, thus boosting sensitivity. The KIDs Interferometric Spectral Surveyor (KISS) instrument is a millimeter camera that consists of two KID arrays
