Description
A new method to measure the magnetic field strength of small-scale solar magnetic concentrations is presented. It is based on the center of gravity method (Semel, 1967), is independent of radiative transfer calculations and only observable parameters are needed. This method also provides parameters like filling factor (area fraction occupied by the tubes), continuum intensity contrast between flux tubes and their surroundings, in a two-component model scheme. The method is applied to spectropolarimetric high spatial resolution data. Local variations of the above parameters inside single faculae are found. This result suggests some indications about flux tube evolution. A comparison with low spatial resolution results is also made.

    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
