Description
Orientation effects are believed to be important in sources which harbor relativistic jets in their nuclei. BL Lac type objects are interpreted as a type of this class of objects whose galaxy counterpart is a bright elliptical galaxy. This interpretation requires every bright elliptical galaxy to have a BL Lac type nucleus beamed usually away from the observer. The possibility of identifying M87 as one of those misaligned BL Lacs is discussed.

    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
