Description
To preserve the exceptional sky quality of the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory, the Spanish Government has subsidized the cost of a programme of streetlighting adaptation on La Palma aimed at minimizing potential light pollution. New non-polluting light fixtures and low-pressure sodium vapour lamps have been used to modified existing lighting and have reduced light pollution to about 85% of that from previous installations.

    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

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of
