Descripción
The paper presents a set of CCD images of four Galactic bulges, taken in the I photometric band under very good imaging conditions, with the Taurus camera on the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope. As well as showing calibrated isophotes, the results of ellipticity analysis are given, which bring out a clear dichotomy between two of the bulges, where a degree of triaxiality is implied, and the other two, which are much closer to axisymmetry. In the nonaxisymmetric cases, ellipticities and position angles vary rapidly with radius within the bulge. The presence of star-forming activity can be inferred, which is probably induced by an effect of the underlying asymmetry in the older stellar population.

    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
