Descripción
A set of parameters to characterize azimuthal profiles of galaxies is proposed and applied to the spiral structure of the galaxies NGC 1832 and NGC 7479 observed in the B and I passbands. Interpretations of the observations in terms of the two most widely discussed theories of star formation, the spiral density wave theory and that of self-stochastic propagation of star formation, are considered. NGC 7479, with well defined arms, seems to maintain a leading density wave; evidence is presented for a phase separation in the B and I bands corresponding to star formation stimulated by the passage of the wave. NGC 1832, with more flocculent spiral arms, presents a more confused interpretational pattern.

    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
