Description
We present the observations of the Cataclysmic Variable AE Aquarii by 3 instruments of ISO in the previously unexplored range of 4.8-170 microns during a multi-wavelength campaign from the radio to visible wavelengths. Up to 7.3 microns, the major contribution comes from the secondary, with probably some additional cyclotron radiation from the white dwarf magnetic field, and some emission from the accretion stream. Thermal emission of dust grains seems to be very unlikely in AE Aqr. We also constrain the properties of the synchrotron radio-to-far-IR emitting plasmoids far more strongly than previous work. The flares timescale is also predicted to be < 1 min. at frequencies > 400 GHz.

    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
