Description
As a parallel result from a project aimed at determining accurate distances to more than 30 Planetary Nebulae using the extinction-distance method, we report here the serendipitous discovery of a giant halo around NGC 7027. We obtained the spectra of more than 50 field stars around each PN with the LDSS2 multi-slit spectrograph in the 4.2m telescope at La Palma (Spain). In the spectra of the field around NGC 7027 we detected nebular lines of Hydrogen and [OIII]. The variation of the I(5007)/I(4861) ratio with the distance to the central star indicates that the emission really originates in the object, implying that the ionized halo around NGC 7027 extends for more than one parsec.

    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

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a
