Description
A high resolution spectrum (Δλ = 0.2 Å) of the Population II star HD 76932 from the archive of the IUE satellite has been analysed in a search for measurable resonance absorption lines due to 9Be. Matching the observations by a synthesized model of the wavelength region around the doublet at 3130 Å gives a conservative upper limit for the abundance 9Be/H in the star of 3×10-12. When all alternatives for the production modes of 9Be and 7Li have been considered, this result strongly supports a primordial origin for 7Li. The primordial 7Li is the best method now available for estimation of the universal baryon/photon ratio η; the range of η derived appears to set a severe constraint on the number of two-component neutrino types permitted within the context of standard Big Bang model.

    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
