Descripción
We present a study that links the Number Counts (NCs) to the rest-frame luminosity functions (LFs) at the passbands probed by the observed K-band at different epochs. Making use of a large K-band selected sample in the Groth Field, HDFN and CDFS ( ˜ 0. 27 deg2), we have derived highly reliable photometric redshift estimates that allow us to estimate LFs in the redshift range (0.25-1.25). We find that the larger flattening in the slope of the K-band NCs is mostly a consequence of a prominent decrease in the characteristic density (ϕ ∗) around z ˜ 1, and an almost flat evolution of M ∗.

    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
