We identify SDSS011009.09+132616.1, SDSS030308.35+005444.1, SDSS143547.87+ 373338.5 and SDSS154846.00+405728.8 as four eclipsing white dwarf plus main-sequence (WDMS) binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and report on follow-up observations of these systems. SDSS0110+1326, SDSS1435+3733 and SDSS1548+4057 contain DA white dwarfs, while

We present a full spectropolarimetric study (in the Stokes parameters I, Q, U and V) on omicron Ceti (the prototype of Mira stars), and focus on the strong polarization detected in Balmer emission lines. This study is made with observations from NARVAL instrument at TBL (Telescope Bernard Lyot) in Pic du Midi Observatory, France.

We present an 8.5 hr simultaneous radio, X-ray, UV, and optical observation of the L dwarf binary 2MASSW J0746425+200032. We detect strong radio emission, dominated by short-duration periodic pulses at 4.86 GHz with P = 124.32 ± 0.11 min. The stability of the pulse profiles and arrival times demonstrates that they are due to the rotational

We present in this contribution a revision of the origin, main properties and open issues in the field of winds of massive blue stars, with a particular emphasis in the ultraviolet observations

SDSS and 2MASS photometry of 129 ultra-cool dwarf candidates. The photometric data are from the seventh Data Release of the SDSS Photometric and the 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources. Proper motions are found by dividing the difference between the 2MASS and SDSS coordinates by the observational epoch difference. Spectral types are based on the

Near-infrared (near-IR) spectroscopic data for the five Seyfert galaxies with jet-gas interaction Mrk 348, Mrk 573, Mrk 1066, NGC 7212, and NGC 7465, taken with the Long-slit Intermediate Resolution Infrared Spectrograph near-IR camera/spectrometer at the William Herschel Telescope are reported. The long-slit spectra reveal the characteristic
