Description
We have created a new and unique database, the APOGEE-Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX)-Gaia catalog, to study white dwarfs in close binaries, and, in particular, to: (1) create a minimally biased sample of white dwarf-main sequence (WDMS) systems derived from the combination of GALEX, Gaia, and the dual hemisphere, multi-epoch, high-resolution, infrared APOGEE-1 and -2 spectroscopic surveys, and (2) exploit this catalog to vastly increase the number of well-characterized WDMS systems having derived dynamical parameters (e.g., masses, separation, orbital periods, etc.) as well as precision multi-element chemical compositions by exploiting the high resolution, multi-epoch data from APOGEE. This catalog will significantly further our understanding of compact binary evolution.

    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
