Description
The onset of forbidden line emission in the spectrum of a proto-planetary nebula has been detected for the first time in the lapse of only two years. IRAS 06562-0337 was first observed in December 1987 and October 1988, showing only the Balmer lines in emission. A third spectrum obtained in February 1990 shows a quite different appearance, with forbidden emission lines typical of a low excitation planetary nebula. The effective temperature of the central star has clearly increased over these two years. Another spectrum obtained in March 1992 however, shows that the forbidden lines have disappeared. This, combined with the nature of the H-alpha profiles at different times, reveals the episodic nature of the mass loss mechanism which most likely precedes the formation of a planetary nebula.

    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
