Description
We present in this contribution a review of recent results of parameters of massive OB stars in the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds and nearby spirals. The review is timely because of the strong lowering of the temperature scale of Galactic OB stars produced by the new model atmospheres, including sphericity, blanketing and mass-loss, that are also discussed, and because of the boost suffered by extragalactic stellar physics in the last years. The effects on the determination of mass-loss and the Modified Wind Momentum-Luminosity Relationship are discussed, and a comparison with evolutionary models is provided. We finally present a comparison of abundances from OB stars and H II regions in Orion and M 33.

    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

    The LiteBIRD mission to explore cosmic inflation
    LiteBIRD, the next-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment, aims for a launch in Japan's fiscal year 2032, marking a major advancement in the exploration of primordial cosmology and fundamental physics. Orbiting the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L2, this JAXA-led strategic L-class mission will conduct a comprehensive mapping of the CMB

    Performance of MAGIC stellar intensity interferometer and expansion to MAGIC + CTAO-LST1 stellar intensity interferometer
    A new generation of optical intensity interferometers are emerging in recent years taking advantage of the existing infrastructure of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The MAGIC SII (Stellar Intensity Interferometer) in La Palma, Spain, has been operating since its first successful measurements in 2019 and its current design allows
