Descripción
Successfully launched on 27 December 2006 CoRoT started, about one month later, the first photometric survey aimed at detecting planetary transits from space. After a brief description of the instrument and the mission profile, we will present results issued from a first analysis of the data. These preliminary results illustrate the onflight performances and the detection capabilities of CoRoT. The recent discovery of a hot Uranus around GJ436 suggests the existence of a new family of planets that CoRoT could easily detect. So, we should learn more on these hot Neptunes and the still hypothetical hot terrestrials in a near future.

    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
