Description
The fourth photometry campaign of the Stellar photometry International (STEPHI) network was carried out in January 1992. On this occasion, the delta Scuti-like stars BN Cnc and BU Cnc were simultaneously monitored during a three-week, three-continental run. Six and five frequency peaks are unambiguously detected for BU Cnc and BN Cnc, respectively. Some additional frequency peaks, with confidence levels between 50% and 60% are also reported. Both stars belong to the Praesepe open cluster, thus they should have almost the same age and primeval composition. Consequently, their differences in the frequency spectrum might be merely due to the distinct masses of the star pair. Some asteroseismic implications will also be discussed.

    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
