Description
Energy transport by radiation is an important contribution to the energy budget in stellar atmospheric structures. In this paper, radiative relaxation of small-scale structures is investigated. The authors show in a linear analysis: (1) Already at structural lengths of 10 opacity scale heights, horizontal photon exchange is important for the energy budget. (2) In atmospheric layers near continuum optical depth τc = 1 and below, the continuum absorption and emission processes dominate the radiative relaxation. (3) Weak spectral lines or lines with σlɛ ≤ 1 have little influence on the energy exchange. (4) At large heights, transport in few spectral lines with σlɛ very large 1 can compete with continuum processes.

    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
