Descripción
We report the detection of a type I X-ray burst with burst oscillations during an RXTE-PCA observation of the recently discovered accreting millisecond pulsar (AMP) IGR J17498-2921 (ATels #3551, #3555, #3556, #3558, #3559, #3560, #3561, #3562, #3563). The burst intensity peaked on 2011-08-16 at 15:21:45 UTC. We find a rise time of ~0.4s (time span for burst intensity to go from 25% to 90% of net peak value) and an approximate total duration in the RXTE-PCA bandpass of 30s.

    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
