Description
In the context of the EPOXI mission, at the beginning of November 2010 the comet 103P/Hartley 2 was visited by the Deep-Impact spacecraft, that passed at only 700 km from its nucleus. To connect spatial small scales, as seen from the spacecraft, to large ones, the comet was the target of a wide campaign of remote observations involving many observatories around the world and from space. In this framework we observed the comet at the beginning of September 2010 with the Italian Telecopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG), at the beginning of November 2010, and January 2011 with the ESO NTT telescope. Here we will report the results obtained in November, during the spacecraft fly-by.

    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

    New Robotic Telescope system progress towards critical design review
    The 4m class New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an optical facility designed to revolutionize the rapid follow-up and classification of variable and transient objects. The project is at the stage where key systems are progressing through their detailed design phases, which presents a major engineering challenge for all project partners to manage design

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a
