Description
The transient LMXB and 11 Hz pulsar currently in outburst in Terzan 5 (ATEL #2919, #2920, #2922, #2924, #2932) has been recently observed to show at least one eclipse of 511 s duration (ATEL #2929). We have checked the Chandra lightcurves (readout streak and dust-scattered halo) from the 2000 July 24 observation (Heinke et al. 2003, ApJ, 590, 809), and find no eclipses in the 45 ks (12.5 hour) observation.

    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
