Description
The authors have made observations of the spectrum of comet Halley on various dates between September 1985 and December 1986, obtaining multipositional long-slit absolute spectrophotometry of the inner region of the coma in the visible range. They present a study of the emission in the 3883 Å line of the (0-0) transition of CN. The observed CN surface brightness spatial distribution is used to obtain the distribution of molecules and is fitted to Haser's model to obtain scale lengths.

    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
