Description
H-alpha observations of AG Peg, obtained using an IPCS detector on the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope of the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos on November 13-14, 1986, are reported. A mask reducing the effective entrance aperture to 55 cm and a neutral filter limiting the photon flux to 14 photons/frame were employed in 15-msec/frame exposures (total exposure time 790 sec), and the frame recentering and selection algorithm of Rosa and Fuensalida (1987) was applied to improve the sharpness of the H-alpha image. AG Peg is shown to have a SE lobe about 4 arcsec from its center, a more intense and concentrated NW lobe about 5 arcsec from center, and an unresolved emission source less than 1.7 arcsec NE of center. With background subtracted, the external nebulosity is found to account for about 33 percent of the total H-alpha emission.

    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
