Descripción
We recently studied a small number of highly inclined spiral galaxies, and used their special geometry to determine absolute extinction values of the dust in their dust lanes. We apply a simple model of a uniform mixture of stars and dust to the data, and find that the extinction values in these galaxies are the same as those making up the Galactic extinction law. This Galactic law seems to be universally applicable.

    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
