Description
Deep spectra of the planetary nebula IC 418 were obtained in the wavelength range 4190-5850 A. The data made it possible to map an extended halo about the source, evaluate the variation in halo intensity with radius, and model the results in terms of a radially symmetric dust scatter envelope. It is suggested that the nebula is in a relatively early stage of evolutionary expansion, with a lifetime of no more than about 850 yrs. It is also believed that the enveloping halo zone represents an earlier mass-ejection phase in the low-mass carbon star progenitor.

    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
