Description
We present preliminary results on high resolution Hα imaging of the Wolf-Rayet blue compact dwarf galaxy (BCDG) Mrk 1094. This galaxy presents a bar-shape structure and is currently undergoing a strong star formation burst distributed in several knots. Spatially resolved photometry of the different knots indicates that star formation seems to be propagating from the center outwards all along the bar. We discuss the different processes that could explain these observational facts. In this sense, Mrk 1094 is the first BCDG in which this kind of phenomena is detected.

    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
