Description
Even from a light-polluted city it is possible to observe Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) at opposition using a small telescope equipped with a CCD camera. In this paper, we review the major NEA programs and present the planning of the follow-up observations using a small facility. In a second paper we will present the first results of a program run at York University Observatory in Toronto, Canada.

    Discovery of two warm mini-Neptunes with contrasting densities orbiting the young K3V star TOI-815
    We present the discovery and characterization of two warm mini-Neptunes transiting the K3V star TOI-815 in a K-M binary system. Analysis of its spectra and rotation period reveal the star to be young, with an age of 200 −200 +400 Myr. TOI-8l5b has a 11.2-day period and a radius of 2.94 ± 0.05 R ⊕ with transits observed by TESS, CHEOPS, ASTEP, and

    The extent and power of 'maintenance mode' feedback in MaNGA AGN
    We study the ionized gas kinematics of 293 Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) hosts as compared to that of 485 control galaxies from the MaNGA-SDSS survey using measurements of the [O III]$\lambda$5007 Å emission-line profiles, presenting flux, velocity, and W$_{80}$ maps. In 45 per cent of the AGN, a broad component was needed to fit the line profiles

    The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey - VIII. Characterizing the orbital properties of the ancient, very metal-poor inner Milky Way
    The oldest stars in the Milky Way (born in the first few billion years) are expected to have a high density in the inner few kpc, spatially overlapping with the Galactic bulge. We use spectroscopic data from the Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) to study the dynamical properties of ancient, metal-poor inner Galaxy stars. We compute distances
