Description
Intermediate-resolution optical spectra of the X-ray transient J0422+32, obtained during the 1993 December mini-outburst, show a strong modulation in radial velocities and equivalent widths of all the emission lines, with a period of 0.2127+/-0.0013d (5.1h). This modulation is in good agreement with the photometric period of 0.2121d reported during both this and the original outburst. In particular, the complex HeII lambda4686 emission profile displays an intense S-wave with a velocity semi-amplitude of ~755 km s^-1. We discuss the implications of this emission originating either in the hotspot or on the heated face of the companion star. In the first case a mass function f(M)~1.2M_solar is implied, whereas in the latter case f(M)~9.5M_solar.

    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

    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

    Model-based identification of solar coronal mass ejections using deep neural networks
    Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are a major driver of space weather and thus can have important negative technological and social impacts. To assess their geoeffectiveness once they are ejected, it is crucial their prompt identification in coronagraph images. In the last decade, deep neural networks (DNN) have experienced enormous improvements in
