Descripción
RXJ 2117.1 + 3412 is a newly spectroscopically identified bright PG1159 star discovered in the ROSAT XRT sky survey. We report the results of rapid photometry observations performed at the 2.5m Nordic Optical Telescope, on 1992 August 23-27. RXJ2117.1 + 3412 is a low amplitude multiperiodic pulsator. The analysis of 28 h of rapid photometry reveals that the light curve contains at least 24 frequencies. The power spectrum is dominated by a 5 mmag amplitude pulsation of 821 s period. Other modes are found in a wide range of periods: 246 - 3150 s. A test on the period distribution indicates two mean period spacings at 20.48 s and 22.61 s which, when interpreted as the expected period spacings in the asymptotic limit for g-modes of degree l = 1 and l = 2, lead to a mass of 0.62 and 0.58 solar mass, respectively.

    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
