Descripción
The behavior of the isophotes of the E galaxies in a new photometric sample of 33 early-type galaxies belonging to the Virgo cluster (Caon) is compared to that of the S0 galaxies. Almost all objects flatter than b/a = 0.2 are found to exhibit 'pointed' (or 'lemon-shaped') isophotes irrespective of their Hubble class, while almost none do if rounder than the same limit. This observation is used to support the incipient scenario in which a large fraction (about 1/2) of E galaxies - the so-called 'disky ellipticals' - populates one end of a disk-to-bulge sequence including S0 and spiral galaxies.

    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
