  • Puzzling blue dips in the black hole candidate Swift J1357.2 - 0933, from ULTRACAM, SALT, ATCA, Swift, and NuSTAR
    We present rapid, multiwavelength photometry of the low-mass X-ray binary Swift J1357.2-0933 during its 2017 outburst. Using several sets of quasi-simultaneous ULTRACAM/NTT (optical), NuSTAR (X-ray), XRT/Swift (X-ray), SALT (optical), and ATCA (radio) observations taken during outburst decline, we confirm the frequent optical dipping that has

  • Properties of extragalactic thick discs recovered from ultra-deep Stripe82 imaging
    Context. Thick discs can give invaluable information on the formation and evolution history of galaxies as most, if not all, disc galaxies have a thin (classical) disc and a thick disc. Aims: We study the structure of thick discs in extraordinary depth by reaching a surface brightness limit of μrdeep ˜ 28.5-29 mag arcsec-2 with combined g, r, i

  • PRIMitive Asteroids Spectroscopic Survey Library - PRIMASS-L: latest results
    In 2010 we started a spectroscopic survey to obtain visible and near-infrared spectra of primitive asteroids in the main belt. The main objective was to characterize the collisional families located in the inner part of the belt, and believed to be the origin of primitive near-Earth asteroids, in particular those that are the targets of two sample

  • Possible Hydrated Minerals on Pole Regions of (162173) Ryugu by ONC-T Observations
    Based on the observations by the optical navigation camera on the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, stronger 0.7-micron band absorption, which might attribute to hydrated minerals, was found on the pole regions of the C-type asteroid Ryugu. This could be because of less irradiation rate from the Sun.

  • PolStar - An Explorer-Class FUV Spectropolarimetry Mission to Map the Environments of Massive Stars
    PolStar is an Explorer-class far ultraviolet (FUV) spectropolarimetry mission designed to target massive stars and their environments. PolStar will take advantage of resonance lines only available in the FUV to measure for the first time the magnetic and wind environment around massive stars to constrain models of rotation and mass loss.

  • Planetary system detection by estimating the covariance of coronagraphic lucky images
    In this paper, we review two different methods to increase image contrast and propose the combination of both to detect faint companions surrounding a host star. Coronagraphy allows us to block light coming from the host star so that the residual star light can be reduced by several orders of magnitude. On the other hand, estimating the Covariance
