Description
We have conducted an extensive observational campaign of SWIFT J1753.5-0127 over the last year, since its bright our-burst episode in 2005. Using long time baseline optical photometry, we have found a new period suggestive of orbital modulation with a period of 3.2 h, we have simultaneous multi-band photometry, and high-frequency multi-band photometry from ULTRACAM. In the latter data, we find evidence for a broad quasi-periodic oscillation in the g' and r' bands centred on a period of ~25 s and a narrower one of period ~12 s.

    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

    Co-phasing the distributed aperture of a Fizeau interferometer via photonic lanterns and machine learning
    The advantage of large optical telescopes from the ground for high-contrast direct imaging relies on achieving exquisite control of the incident optical wavefront. Since the exoplanet problem almost always has a bright star within a small field of view there are usually ample photons for measuring the atmospheric and telescopedistorted wavefront. A
