Description
We present both space (ACS@HST: F814W, F606W, F475W) and ground-based (MEGACAM@CFHT: u*, g',i',r',z') photometry of the Galactic Globular Cluster (GGC) M92. Space data are located close to the cluster center, while the ground-based data cover one square degree around the cluster center. We investigate the ratios between Horizontal Branch (HB), Main Sequence (MS) and Red Giant Branch (RGB) stars across the body of the cluster. We found that the star counts agree quite well with the predicted evolutionary lifetimes.

    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

    The LiteBIRD mission to explore cosmic inflation
    LiteBIRD, the next-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment, aims for a launch in Japan's fiscal year 2032, marking a major advancement in the exploration of primordial cosmology and fundamental physics. Orbiting the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L2, this JAXA-led strategic L-class mission will conduct a comprehensive mapping of the CMB
