Description
We have developed TGMETalpha in order to determine T[eff], logg, [Fe/H] and [alpha/Fe] for large samples of FGK stars observed at various spectral resolutions. Tests on several hundred echelle spectra of reference stars degraded at low resolution (R=1.000) have provided typical rms precisions of sigma_ T [eff]~150 K, sigma_logg~0.44, sigma_[Fe/H]~0.15 and sigma_[alpha/ Fe]~0.06. We have used TGMETalpha to determine atmospheric parameters and alpha abundances from ~15000 SDSS stellar spectra. Thanks to this very large sample we have investigated the spatial distribution of [alpha/Fe] perpendicular to the galactic disk.

    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
