Description
We present an analysis of high resolution Chandra spectra of the contact binaries 44i Boo and VW Cep in order to examine the chemical composition of their coronae. The emerging pattern of coronal abundances in different stars is of a general trend in which low activity stars exhibit a solar-like FIP effect that is seen to gradually reverse itself to a pattern in which high FIP elements are enhanced in more active stars. We compare the abundances in the coronae of 44i Boo and VW Cep to those of other active stars and discuss the influence of stellar parameters and rotation rate in determining the chemical fractionation of coronal plasma. BB and DGA were supported by Chandra grants GO1-2006X and GO1-2012X. LL was supported by NASA AISRP contract NAG5-9322. JJD and VK were supported by NASA contract NAS8-39073 to the Chandra X-ray Center.

    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

    NEOMIR: ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    The Near-Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red (NEOMIR) is the first ESA's space-based mission fully dedicated to discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs), with a focus to detect and raise early warning for the smaller objects that are coming from the Sun direction, thus nearly impossible to be detected by ground-based optical survey. NEOMIR is

    Upgrading the polarisation modulation unit of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    The Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) is installed at the Gregor telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Spain. The instrument started observations in 2012 and underwent several upgrades in the following years. Currently, it is experiencing the most significant upgrade so far, which includes, among other things, adding two optical channels to
