Description
We present an analysis of the second solar spectrum, as plotted in graphical form in the three volumes of the atlas “The Second Solar Spectrum”, in the wavelength range between 3160 Å and 6995 Å. All the strongest positive linear polarization signals produced by atomic spectral lines are identified, and their amplitudes are listed, along with the most relevant spectroscopic properties of the lines. The various signals are divided into five classes according to the shape of their Q/I profiles. Three empirical rules are formulated from the analysis of the amplitude and shape of the various signals, and of the spectroscopic properties of the spectral lines. Tables 1 and 2 are only available in electronic form at http://www.aanda.org

    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
