Description
The paper presents a new method for deriving stellar masses and distances using the theory of radiatively driven winds as presented by Kudritzki et al. (1989) and the stellar parameters derived from NLTE spectroscopic analysis. The procedure is illustrated with five stars observed in three open clusters. Comparison with evolutionary tracks indicates a possible discrepancy between the masses and helium abundances (when enhanced) derived from these tracks and those obtained by other methods.

    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

    ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: science goals, project overview, and future developments
    The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph). ANDES consists of three fibre-fed spectrographs ([U]BV, RIZ, YJH) providing a spectral resolution of ∼100,000 with a minimum simultaneous wavelength
