Description
We present an overview of and status report on XSL, the X-Shooter Spectral Library. XSL is an ESO Large Programme that is using the X-Shooter three-beam spectrograph to collect moderate-resolution (R=7000--11000), high signal-to-noise spectra of more than 700 stars across the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram with a large range of compositions. XSL is designed primarily as an input library for stellar population synthesis models but has already been used for a wider range of topics, a few of which are discussed here. The first data release of XSL, representing near-ultraviolet and optical spectra of the first ˜250 stars, will be available in early 2014, with later data releases to include the near-infrared spectra and the complete library.

    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

    Co-phasing the distributed aperture of a Fizeau interferometer via photonic lanterns and machine learning
    The advantage of large optical telescopes from the ground for high-contrast direct imaging relies on achieving exquisite control of the incident optical wavefront. Since the exoplanet problem almost always has a bright star within a small field of view there are usually ample photons for measuring the atmospheric and telescopedistorted wavefront. A
