Descripción
We present the results of optical fast photometry of five SXTs in quiescence: V404 Cyg, A 0620--00, J 0422+32, GS 2000+25 and Cen X--4 and report the evidence of fast optical variations with timescales from minutes to a few hours and amplitudes from 0.06 to 0.6 mag, superimposed on the classical ellipsoidal light curve. We find no coherent periodicity. The physical origin of this variability is unknown although we favour an origin in the accretion disc.

    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: design of the adaptive optics system
    ANDES,the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, will work both in seeing limited mode and with Adaptive Optics (AO) correction. ANDES-SCAO is a single conjugated AO system working with natural guide stars, feeding the IFU coupled to the YJH spectrograph. The main science goal of the ANDES AO mode is the characterization of the exo-planet
