Description
The revised physical assumptions incorporated into a previously published evolutionary model for stellar population synthesis in galaxies (Casuso et al., 1989) are outlined. Applying the present version of the model to well defined zones on the nucleus and along a spiral arm of NGC 2903, it is shown that the star-formation rate has increased during the lifetime of the galaxy, steadily but only slightly in the arm, and spectacularly in the nucleus, where there is current starburst activity. It is also inferred that considerable gaseous inflow has occurred in the arm during the lifetime of the disk.

    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
