Description
We report the result of the HST snapshot survey of BL Lac host galaxies. Almost 100 sources with redshift ranging from 0.05 to 1.2 were observed. Virtually all source at z<0.5 are resolved and the host can be studied well enough that the morphological type is reliably determined. The BL Lac hosts are, without (or very few) exception, bright, giant elliptical with luminosity within a narrow range of values (-22.3 < M(R) < -25). No significant cosmological evolution is observed up to z=3D0.5. Results are discussed in view of unified models.

    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

    NEOMIR: ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    The Near-Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red (NEOMIR) is the first ESA's space-based mission fully dedicated to discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs), with a focus to detect and raise early warning for the smaller objects that are coming from the Sun direction, thus nearly impossible to be detected by ground-based optical survey. NEOMIR is

    Upgrading the polarisation modulation unit of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    The Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) is installed at the Gregor telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Spain. The instrument started observations in 2012 and underwent several upgrades in the following years. Currently, it is experiencing the most significant upgrade so far, which includes, among other things, adding two optical channels to
