Near-Earth objects (NEOs) deserve our attention because they pose an impact risk for Earth. A good example is the Chicxulub impactor that produced the...
Mineralogical Analysis of Basaltic Asteroids in the Neighbourhood of (4) Vesta
(4) Vesta is the unique large asteroid with a basaltic surface present in the Asteroid Belt. In recent years, several smaller asteroids having similar...
Mineralogical analysis of two different kind of icy surfaces in the trans-neptunian belt, TNOs (50000) Quaoar and 2002 TX300
TNOs (50000) Quaoar and 2002 TX300 were observed in the framework of a long-term program to study the surface properties of TNOs, Centaurs and comet nuclei...
Mineralogical and photometric analysis of V-type asteroids
Most of the V-types that are known are located in the inner main belt and are members of the Vesta collisional family. The analysis of the photometric and...
Mineralogical characterization of asteroid (1951) Lick
A-type asteroids are usually found in the main asteroid belt and their spectra are very similar to spectra of the silicate mineral olivine (Cruikshank and...
Mineralogycal analysis of the icy surface of TNOs (50000) Quaoar and 2002 TX300
Visible and near-infrared spectra (0.5-2.4 μm) of TNOs (50000) Quaoar and 2002 TX300 taken with the Italian 3,56m "Telescopio Nazionale Galileo" are presented...
We report YALO consortium observation of a mini-outburst of Aquila X-1 = V1333 Aql, which occurred between July 04.27 and 07.29 UT. This X-ray binary outbursts...
Mining the unrevealed population of red-nugget relics in disk galaxies
Do galaxies that quenched at early epochs remain passive since then or do they rejuvenate, experiencing further episodes of star formation? We apply a structure...
