Heavy ion collisions are rich and complex systems that involve different aspects of QCD and electromagnetic phenomena. From head-on collisions to the case in which the nuclei miss each other, many of QCD and photo-induced probes are being actively investigated. In this contribution we briefly discuss both of these different topics and some of the CMS results on top quark production and vector meson photo-production, as well as the physics motivation to study these processes are presented.
