Description
Considering that the recent history of E-S0 galaxies can be approximated by Pure Luminosity Evolution (PLE), we have examined a set of PLE models in order to delimit the epoch in which the majority of the red galaxy population moved away from this simple evolution framework. The models assume that they were assembled and formed most of their stars at a given formation redshift (z f), and that they have evolved without merging or substantial dust obscuration since then. Comparing the model predictions with real data, we conclude that most of E-S0’s at low and intermediate luminosities must have been progressively built up at 1 < z < 2, being the bulk of formation at z ˜ 1. 5, as recently claimed by several observational studies.

    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
