Description
Results of high-resolution optical spectroscopy of V404 Cyg (the optical counterpart of the X-ray transient GS2023 + 338), conducted 13 months after the May 1989 outburst are presented. The double-peaked H-alpha line exhibits a strong S-wave modulation from which a periodicity of 5.7 hr is deduced. The level of the continuum is also modulated on the same time-scale. This behavior is identified with the orbital period of the system. There are also changes in the FWHM and peak separation, which evolves from widening to subsequent shrinking. Such variations suggest a very complex line profile consisting perphaps of several different components.

    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
