Description
We report time-resolved photometry of the optical counterpart to the black hole candidate SWIFT J1753.5-0127 (Palmer et al. 2005, ATel #546: Halpern et al. 2005, ATel #549). After its discovery, this source has remained in the low/hard state and bright at optical/IR wavelengths. Our analysis indicates that this X-ray transient is a short orbital period X-ray binary. We obtained time-series photometry on 2007 Jun 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 UT with the 1.5-m telescope and from 2007 Jun 27 to Jul 1 UT with the 0.84-m telescope, both at the Mexican Observatorio de San Pedro Martir.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    NIRPS near-infrared spectrograph: AITV phase at ESO3.6m/La Silla
    NIRPS is a fiber-fed AO nIR spectrograph working simultaneously with HARPS at the La Silla-ESO 3.6m telescope. The cryogenic spectrograph operating at 75K employs a cross-dispersed echelle grating (R4), covering a wavelength range of 0.98-1.80 microns in a single image using a Teledyne Hawaii-4RG infrared detector. In early 2022, the NIRPS
