Description
We present a photometric survey aimed at the identification of variable stars in the galactic globular cluster ω Cen. Our photometric catalogue is based on ~ 400 exposures of the central region of the cluster(Fov ~ 15' × 15') collected with the Danish Telescope. The catalogue has an accuracy of about ~ 0.02 mag at B ~ 18 mag. We present here preliminary results concerning the possible identification of two variable stars and an eclipsing binary candidate in ω Cen.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta
