We present a photometric survey of bright southern stars carried out using the DENIS instrument equipped with attenuating filters. The observations were carried out not using the survey mode of DENIS, but with individual target pointings. This project was stimulated by the need to obtain near-infrared photometry of stars to be used in early

We present emission line mapping of the strongly barred galaxy NGC 1530 obtained using Fabry-Pérot interferometry in Halpha, at significantly enhanced angular resolution compared with previously published studies. The main point of the work is to examine in detail the non-circular components of the velocity field of the gas, presumably induced by

What do we understand of the birth and death of stars? What is the nature of the tiny dust grains that permeate our Galaxy and other galaxies? And how likely is the existence of brown dwarfs, extrasolar planets or other sub-stellar mass objects? These are just a few of the questions that can now be addressed in a new era of infrared observations

The results of a high temporal resolution spectroscopic monitoring of the UV Cet type fare stars AD Leo and V1054 Oph are reported. Intermediate resolution optical spectra of these stars were taken using the IDS spectrograph of the 2.5 m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) of El Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (Spain) during 4 nights (2-5 April 2001)
