Description
We have studied the amount of diffuse light in two galaxy groups, Leo and HCG 44 through the detection of intragroup planetary nebulae (IGPNe). The emission line objects detected turned out to be compatible with background Lyα galaxies. We have estimated an upper limit to the amount of diffuse light in both groups assuming the presence of just one IGPN. This is in agreement with previous findings in other groups, and confirms that the amount of diffuse light decreases from rich galaxy clusters to groups.

    Primitive asteroids in the Main Belt possess one of the most pristine inventories of materials in the Solar System. Main Belt primitive asteroids are particularly interesting due to clear evidence of phyllosilicates, i.e., silicates that have encountered liquid water and undergone chemical alteration. Since asteroids are thought to be likely

    NEOMIR: project statut of ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    To warn about potential asteroid or comet impacts, we must first observe and discover these objects through dedicated NEO surveys. Most current and planned surveys are ground-based and use visible light, but they face limitations like weather dependency, limited sky visibility, difficulty detecting at low galactic latitudes, and inability to
