Description
The authors have measured the 7Li abundance in G 64-12 an extremely metal-deficient dwarf [Fe/H] = -3.5 (Carney and Peterson, 1981) with effective temperature Teff = 6350K, and a very high velocity Vrad = 439 km/s. The result is log N(7Li) = 2.23 (±0.20), where log N(H) = 12. This star has a considerably lower metallicity than previous population II dwarfs with measured 7Li. The proximity of this 7Li abundance to those previously measured in halo dwarfs together with its relatively high Teff lends added support to the view that lithium abundance of just over 2 represents an essentially undepleted primordial value. This taken together with recent estimates of primordially produced 4He places tight constraints on the universal baryon to photon ratio.

    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
