    Monte Carlo Deep Neural Network Model for Spread and Peak Prediction of COVID-19

    Just a few days before the beginning of this year a new virus, widely known as the COVID-19, was detected in Wuhan, capital of the province Hubei, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread all across the globe infecting more than half a million people resulting to the passing of nearly 25000 patients. Beside the social pain that this new pandemic is causing, the measures put in force to halt the spreading of the virus are stressing the global economy indicating a domino efect that can last even longer than the probable eradication of COVID-19. Yet, these measures are necessary to prevent health system reach their capacity, an occasion where di cult decisions will need to be made such as prioritization of patients to be treated

    The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs: Nine new double-line spectroscopic binary stars

    Context. The CARMENES spectrograph is surveying ~300 M dwarf stars in search for exoplanets. Among the target stars, spectroscopic binary systems have been discovered, which can be used to measure fundamental properties of stars. Aims. Using spectroscopic observations, we determine the orbital and physical properties of nine new double-line spectroscopic binary systems by analysing their radial velocity curves. Methods. We use two-dimensional cross-correlation techniques to derive the radial velocities of the targets, which are then employed to determine the orbital properties. Photometric data from the literature are also analysed to search for possible eclipses and to measure stellar variability, which can yield rotation periods. Results. Out of the 342 stars selected for the CARMENES survey, 9 have been found to be double-line spectroscopic binaries, with periods ranging from 1.13 to ~8000 days and orbits with eccentricities up to 0.54. We provide empirical orbital properties and minimum masses for the sample of spectroscopic binaries. Absolute masses are also estimated from mass-luminosity calibrations, ranging between ~0.1 and ~0.6 Msol . Conclusions. These new binary systems increase the number of double-line M dwarf binary systems with known orbital parameters by 15%, and they have lower mass ratios on average.Comment: Accepted for publication in A&A. 17 pages, 4 figure

    The relict population of Pinna nobilis in the Mar Menor is facing an uncertain future

    Pinna nobilis is undergoing one of the most dramatic events suffered by an endangered species. An emerging disease has relegated its populations to coastal lagoons or estuaries with salinities beyond the 36.5–39.7 psu range. The Mar Menor is one of two such locations on the Spanish coastline. Poor environmental conditions and eutrophication and anoxia events, that became critical in 2016, 2019 and 2021, have reduced its population in >99 %. In this work, the spatial distribution of the species within the lagoon and the factors determining its survival along the successive crises of eutrophication are studied using a two-stage (presence/absence estimation and density modelling) Species Distribution Model. A potential area of 200.97 ha and an average density of 1.05 ind.100 m2 is estimated for 2020. The viability of the Mar Menor population depends on management actions designed both for the species and to improve the lagoon environmental state.This research was supported by the EU LIFE Programme Project “Protection and restoration of Pinna nobilis populations as a response to the catastrophic pandemic started in 2016” (LIFE PINNARCA) [grant number LIFE20 NAT/ES/001265] and the Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge Project RECUPERA PINNA [grant number IRTA1-21T].
