Description
We report observations of NGC 6334N, Ml7 5W, W 51 and DR2l(OH) in the J = 4→3 transition of HCN at 354GHz. These results are combined with previously obtained J=1→0HCN data to determine molecular abundances X(HCN) ˜4 × 10-11 -4 × 10-12, and characteristic line excitation zone densities n(H2)˜106 cm-3. These results are at variance with previous analyses based on J=1→0 results alone, and the predictions of certain models of the cloud chemistry. The reasons for these discrepancies are discussed.

    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
