Descripción
Wide field B,V photometry of the outer regions of the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy is presented. Six fields were observed to a distance from the centre up to 4.5 degrees. We detected a sizable sample of faint blue objects, with V> 23 and B-V< 0.4. These objects populate the same region of the color magnitude diagram of the Carina old Main Sequence stars. However, it is not clear whether they are tracing a tidal stream connecting Carina to the Galaxy. We also present some plausible working hypothesis concerning the nature of the objects.

    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
