We report the first intensity correlation measured with star light since Hanbury Brown and Twiss' historical experiments. The photon bunching g (2) (τ, r = 0), obtained in the photon counting regime, was measured for 3 bright stars, α Boo, α CMi, and β Gem. The light was collected at the focal plane of a 1 m optical telescope, was transported...

Asteroids can be classified into several groups based on their spectral reflectance. Among these groups, the one belonging to the L-class in the taxonomic classification based on visible and near-infrared spectra exhibit several peculiar properties. First, their near-infrared spectrum is characterized by a strong absorption band interpreted as...
