Descripción
We present evidence for a strong correlation between the concentration of bulges and the mass of their central supermassive black hole (Mbh)-more concentrated bulges have more massive black holes. Using Cre(1/3) from Trujillo, Graham, & Caon as a measure of bulge concentration, we find that log(Mbh/Msolar)=6.81(+/- 0.95)Cre(1/3)+5.03+/-0.41. This correlation is shown to be marginally stronger (Spearman's rs=0.91) than the relationship between the logarithm of the stellar velocity dispersion and logMbh (Spearman's rs=0.86) and has comparable or less scatter (0.31 dex in logMbh, which decreases to 0.19 dex when we use only those galaxies whose supermassive black hole radii of influence are resolved and we remove one well-understood outlying data point).

    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
