Description
The authors report the results of high resolution and high S/N observations of diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) towards SN 1987A in the LMC. For the first time they clearly detect the LMC component of the 5780, 5797 and 6284 Å DIBs, and possibly that of 5778 and 6269 Å. Moreover, they observe the Galactic components of the 5778, 5780, 5797, 6283, 6376 and 6379 Å bands, along a line of sight with very low reddening [E(B-V) ≅ 0.07]. The LMC components are generally weaker than the Galactic ones, while the opposite is observed for ISNa I and K I. The band strengths are compared with the total color excess towards the supernova.

    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
