Description
The VIRGO Experiment (Variability of solar IRradiance and Gravity Oscillations) contains two types of active cavity radiometers for monitoring of the solar constant, two three-channel Sun photometers 335, 500, and 865 nm, and a low resolution imager (LOI) with 12 pixels. The main scientific objective is probing the solar interior by helioseismology with p- and g-mode solar oscillations determined from spectral irradiance (SPM) and radiance (LOI) variations on time scales of minutes to the mission time. The measurements of the variability of the solar constant and spectral irradiance over periods of days to the mission time will yield information about the convection zone, as will the comparison of the amplitudes and phases of the oscillations as manifested in irradiance and radiance (from VIRGO) and velocity (from GOLF and SOI).

    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
