Descripción
We report the result of the HST snapshot survey of BL Lac host galaxies. Almost 100 sources with redshift ranging from 0.05 to 1.2 were observed. Virtually all source at z<0.5 are resolved and the host can be studied well enough that the morphological type is reliably determined. The BL Lac hosts are, without (or very few) exception, bright, giant elliptical with luminosity within a narrow range of values (-22.3 < M(R) < -25). No significant cosmological evolution is observed up to z=3D0.5. Results are discussed in view of unified models.

    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

    Performance of MAGIC stellar intensity interferometer and expansion to MAGIC + CTAO-LST1 stellar intensity interferometer
    A new generation of optical intensity interferometers are emerging in recent years taking advantage of the existing infrastructure of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The MAGIC SII (Stellar Intensity Interferometer) in La Palma, Spain, has been operating since its first successful measurements in 2019 and its current design allows
