Description
We present results of photometry and photopolarimetry of the Wolf-Rayet eclipsing binary system HD 5980 in the Small Magellanic Cloud, which underwent an unexpected eruption during 1994, transforming its spectrum into a Luminous Blue Variable-like one. CCD photometry was performed during the post-outburst declining phase. Pre-outburst photopolarimetric observations were collected between 1987 and 1991, and post-outburst after May 1995.

    This is major release with several infrastructural changes that will make future development of dynesty easier, as well as significant speedups. The release also deprecated some rarely used options. Major refactor of the code that makes it easier to add new samplers. Major speedup of the uniform sampler when sampling in parallel You can now provide

    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

    NEOMIR: project statut of ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    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
