Description
There are several hundred thousand R = 2000 stellar spectra reported in the final public release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-I) and the continuing project SEGUE (Sloan Extension for Galactic Exploration and Understanding), which has completed roughly half of its scheduled set of observations to date. The stars in this sample were targeted for a wide variety of reasons, and hence do not represent a sample from which an unbiased metallicity distribution function (MDF) of stars in the halo or thick-disk populations may be drawn. However, there exist over 6500 stars with estimated metallicities [Fe/H]<-2.0 and effective temperatures in the range 4500 K

    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
