Description
The authors have used HST/WFPC2 to observe the optical jet of the two extragalactic radio sources PKS 0521-365 (z = 0.055) and 3C 371 (z = 0.050). For PKS 0521-365, the optical and radio images are similar, with the general shape and the total length of the jet almost identical in the two bands. Radio and optical emission from the jet of 3C 371 show a general one-to-one matching of all structure. However, a striking difference is present: the optical jet ends much earlier than its radio counterpart.

    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
