Description
The GOLF experiment is a resonant scattering spectrophotometer in flight on board the SOHO mission, originally designed to measure the intensity of the solar radiation at 4 selected positions within the sodium doublet (D1 at λ 5896 and D2 at λ 5890 AA). Each position was determined by a modulated magnetic field and a combination of rotating polarizers (see Gabriel et al. 1995, 1997 for a full description of the instrument). Due to occasional malfunctions of the polarizing element that allows to switch between the two wings of the solar profile, it was decided to stop the mechanism in a safety position. Thus, only two monochromatic intensities, Ib+ and Ib- are measured but a duty cycle close to 100 % is achieved. After more than two years of blue wing measurements we show the long term stability of the GOLF experiment and we discuss their impact on the new derived velocity.

    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
