Description
The Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO) on-board the Japanese
Experimental Module (JEM) of the International Space Station aims at the
detection of ultra high energy cosmic rays from space. The mission
consists of a UV telescope which will detect the fluorescence light
emitted by cosmic ray showers in the atmosphere. The mission, currently
developed by a large international collaboration, is designed to be
launched within this decade. In this article, we present the
reconstruction of the energy of the observed events and we also address
the X max reconstruction. After discussing the algorithms
developed for the energy and X max reconstruction, we present
several estimates of the energy resolution, as a function of the
incident angle, and energy of the event. Similarly, estimates of the X
max resolution for various conditions are presented.

Minor Bodies of the Solar System
This project studies the physical and compositional properties of the so-called minor bodies of the Solar System, that includes asteroids, icy objects, and comets. Of special interest are the trans-neptunian objects (TNOs), including those considered the most distant objects detected so far (Extreme-TNOs or ETNOs); the comets and the comet-asteroid
