Descripción
Results are presented from simultaneous UBVRI photopolarimetric observations of eight blazars at the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope during winter 1991. In 3C 66A the highest ever measured polarization, P(U) = 30.5 percent is observed, with small frequency dependence (FDP), P being lower toward longer wavelengths. In AO 0235 + 164, large changes in the polarization level and in the FDP between different nights were detected. The FDP is seen to be three times more common than the frequency dependence in the position angle in these blazars.

    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
