Description
On 2002 we started an observational campaign devoted to the study of the surface composition of Jupiter Trojans. In particular we focused on the study of members of dynamical families: we obtained visible spectra of 80 objects belonging to 10 different families and for 24 of them we obtained also near-infrared spectra. All the investigated bodies have featureless spectra: in particular, no signatures of water ice have been found on the spectra of these primordial bodies. L4 and L5 objects seem to have similar spectral behaviours and no evidence of a possible color-dimension trend has been found. Tentative models of the surface composition, based on the Hapke theory, have been obtained.

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on
