Description
In the framework of the Observational Astrophysics: from proposals to publication program (which is an OPTICON and ERASMUS+ school), we report the spectral characterization of two near-Earth asteroids, namely (381906) 2010 CL19 and (453778) 2011 JK. The data were obtained with the 2.56 m Nordic Optical Telescope equipped with ALFOSC instrument. The spectral data reduction and the methods for analyzing the results are shown in detail. We found that (381906) 2010 CL19 is a K-type asteroid, and (453778) 2011 JK is an Sq type asteroid. The comparison with laboratory spectra of meteorites revealed spectral similarities with ordinary chondrites for both objects. Considering the average albedo corresponding to the assigned types, we estimated the size of (381906) 2010 CL19 to be in the order of 1 km, and the size of (453778) 2011 JK to be about 550 m.

    The Orbit and Companion of PSR J1622-0315: Variable Asymmetry and a Massive Neutron Star
    The companion to PSR J1622-0315, one of the most compact known redback millisecond pulsars, shows extremely low irradiation despite its short orbital period. We model this system to determine the binary parameters, combining optical observations from the New Technology Telescope in 2017 and the Nordic Optical Telescope in 2022 with the binary

    A targeted search for strongly lensed supernovae with the Las Cumbres Observatory
    Gravitationally lensed supernovae (glSNe) are of interest for time delay cosmology and SN physics. However, glSNe detections are rare, owing to the intrinsic rarity of SN explosions, the necessity of alignment with a foreground lens, and the relatively short window of detectability. We present the Las Cumbres Observatory Lensed Supernova Search

    Validating full-spectrum fitting with a synthetic integral-field spectroscopic observation of the Milky Way
    Ongoing deep integral-field spectroscopy (IFS) observations of disc galaxies provide opportunities for comparison with the Milky Way (MW) to understand galaxy evolution. However, such comparisons are marred by many challenges such as selection effects, differences in observations and methodology, and proper validation of full-spectrum fitting
