Magnetized plasma is emerging continually from the solar interior into the atmosphere. Magnetic flux emergence events and their consequences in the solar atmosphere are being observed with high space, time and spectral resolution by a large number of space missions in operation at present (e.g. SOHO, Hinode, Stereo, Rhessi). The collision of an

Context: This is the second paper of a series devoted to the WIde Field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS). WINGS is a long term project which is gathering wide-field, multi-band imaging and spectroscopy of galaxies in a complete sample of 77 X-ray selected, nearby clusters (0.04 z 0.07) located far from the galactic plane (|b|≥ 20°). The main

We have measured the emission line profiles in Hα from populations of HII regions in nearby spiral galaxies, and extracted their non-thermal line widths. These are supersonic for the more luminous regions. We infer from plots of line width, σ, against Hα luminosity, a set of regions in virial equilibrium, and derive their masses summing all known

BD+53°2790, an O9.5V star, is the optical counterpart to the HMXRB 4U 2206+54. This system was classified initially as a BeX, but observational evidence soon stressed the need to revise this classification. The permanent asymmetry in the H α line profiles (in contrast with the cyclic variations shown by Be stars), the variations in the profile of

The aim of this work is to make available unpublished non-Fe+ emission line fluxes from optical spectra of the symbiotic nova RR Tel, which were taken in 2000, and to compare them with fluxes of the same lines from spectra taken in 1996. After leaving out blends and misidentifications, as well as the unreliable far-red and violet lines, we present
