We present preliminary results of a photometric investigation on IC10 using data collected with ACS@HSTS and WFPC2@HST. We estimate the distance using the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB). According to current estimates, IC10 seems to be a member of the M31 group. By assuming the same distance for the two different pointings, the reddening shows

We present both space (ACS@HST: F814W, F606W, F475W) and ground-based (MEGACAM@CFHT: u*, g',i',r',z') photometry of the Galactic Globular Cluster (GGC) M92. Space data are located close to the cluster center, while the ground-based data cover one square degree around the cluster center. We investigate the ratios between Horizontal Branch (HB), Main

Since the seminal work of Penrose (1969) and Blandford & Znajek (1977), it has been realized that black hole spin may be an important energy source in astrophysics. The radio-loud/radio-quiet dichotomy in the AGN population is usually attributed to differences in black hole spin, with correlations between black hole spin and host galaxy morphology

Since quantum mechanics (QM) was formulated, many voices have claimed this to be the basis of free will in the human beings. Basically, they argue that free will is possible because there is an ontological indeterminism in the natural laws, and that the mind is responsible for the wave function collapse of matter, which leads to a choice among the
