We present deep optical photometry from the DECam imager on the 4 m Blanco telescope of over 12 deg2 around the Carina dwarf spheroidal, with complete coverage out to 1 deg and partial coverage extending out to 2.6 deg. Using a Poisson-based matched-filter analysis to identify stars from each of the three main stellar populations, old, intermediate

Early-type galaxies (ETGs) satisfy a now classic scaling relation Re ∝ σ1.2eI-0.8e, the Fundamental Plane (FP; Djorgovski & Davis 1987; Dressler et al. 1987), between their size, stellar velocity dispersion and mean surface brightness. A significant effort has been devoted in the past twenty years to try to understand why the coefficients of the

The main goal of the JEM-EUSO experiment is the study of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR, 1019-1021 e V), but the method which will be used (detection of the secondary light emissions induced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere) allows to study other luminous phenomena. The UHECRs will be detected through the measurement of the emission in the

The performance of CoRoT in the detection of planetary transits was estimated using different approachs, from simple modeling to more elaborate tests in which detection is performed in “realistic” conditions. Some emphasis is placed on the tests made on synthetic light-curves accounting for instrumental noises, expected “stellar noises” due to

The SCUBA-2 Ultra Deep Imaging EAO Survey (STUDIES) is a three-year JCMT Large Program aiming to reach the 450 μm confusion limit in the COSMOS-CANDELS region to study a representative sample of the high-redshift far-infrared galaxy population that gives rise to the bulk of the far-infrared background. We present the first-year data from STUDIES
