We show that grazing-incidence telescopes, like those used for X-ray imaging, present negligible instrumental polarization. This property does not depend on the number of reflections the telescope employs to lead light from the entrance pupil to the focal plane. The result applies to the various mirrors of the advanced X-ray astrophysics facility

The inner asteroid belt is an important source of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). Dynamical studies of the inner asteroid belt have identified several families overlapping in proper orbital elements, including the Polana and Eulalia families that contain a large fraction of the low-albedo asteroids in this region. We present results from two

Observations of the Jupiter were carried out using a refined version of the stellar seismometer with a sensitivity of better than 50 cm/s. The observations revealed the existence of strong velocity variations of the planets in the 10-20-min period range. It is concluded that the observed variations can only be explained as global acoustic modes

The Global Oscillations at Low Frequency (GOLF) and the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) instruments aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) give an excellent opportunity to search for solar low frequency oscillation modes previously undetected from ground based experiments. Presented here is a comparison of the velocity power spectra

Neutron stars (NSs) in low-mass X-ray binaries are considered promising candidate sources of continuous gravitational waves. These NSs are typically rotating many hundreds of times a second. The process of accretion can potentially generate and support non-axisymmetric distortions to the compact object, resulting in persistent emission of
