Description
ISOPHOT is one of four instruments onboard the ESA Infrared Space Observatory scheduled for launch in September 1995. It covers the wavelength range 2.5 micrometers to 240 micrometers with wide and marrow spectral bands. Diffraction limited observations as well as wide beam measurements of faint extended sources are possible. Polarimetric observation can be made over the whole wavelength range. The minimal detectable flux is approximately 10 mJy. The astronomical areas to be addressed range from solar system objects to cosmology.

    JWST Observations of Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2024 YR4
    The destructive power of an impacting asteroid is primarily estimated by knowledge of its size. Asteroid 2024 YR4 reached a peak 2032 impact probability with Earth of 3%, motivating a desire to determine its size. Owing to its infrared capabilities, JWST is uniquely suited for such assessment, especially for decameter-scale objects. We used JWST to

    The Empirical Relations between Accretion Luminosity and the Luminosity of Accretion Tracers: are we using them correctly?
    The formation of low-mass stars is a complex and crucial process for understanding stellar evolution and planet formation. In the current scenario of low-mass star formation, after core collapse, the infalling material from the envelope is stored in the circumstellar disk. From this disk, the material reaches the forming star by following the star

    CTAO status and perspective
    The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) is the upcoming next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory. CTAO will have two sites, one located in the northern hemisphere in the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma (Spain) and a sourthern site in Paranal (Chile). CTAO will count on improved sensitivity, angular and spectral
