Description
We study the photoionization of the Extended Narrow Line Region (ENLR) using three anisotropic radiation fields: (1) a geometrically thick accretion disk; (2) a large (at 1 pc to the nucleus) obscuring torus; (3) a blazar beam produced by a relativistic jet. The variation of the intensity of several emission lines with the inclination angle with respect to the symmetry axis is calculated in these cases. We find differences in the angular variation of the intensity and intensity ratios of certain lines for the considered models.

    Primitive asteroids in the Main Belt possess one of the most pristine inventories of materials in the Solar System. Main Belt primitive asteroids are particularly interesting due to clear evidence of phyllosilicates, i.e., silicates that have encountered liquid water and undergone chemical alteration. Since asteroids are thought to be likely

    To warn about potential asteroid or comet impacts, we must first observe and discover these objects through dedicated NEO surveys. Most current and planned surveys are ground-based and use visible light, but they face limitations like weather dependency, limited sky visibility, difficulty detecting at low galactic latitudes, and inability to
