Context. After years of modest optical activity, the quasar-type blazar 4C 38.41 (B3 1633+382) experienced a large outburst in 2011, which was detected throughout the entire electromagnetic spectrum, renewing interest in this source. Aims: We present the results of low-energy multifrequency monitoring by the GLAST-AGILE Support Program (GASP) of

This table presents optical UBVRI broadband photo-polarimetry of the EXPORT sample obtained at the 2.5m Nordic Optical Telescope. The database consists of multi-epoch photo-polarimetry of 68 pre-main-sequence and main-sequence stars. (2 data files).

We carried out multi-object spectroscopic observations of A610, A725, and A796 in November 2004 and January 2005. We used AF2/WYFFOS, the multi-object, wide-field, fiber spectrograph working at the prime focus of the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (WHT, Island of La Palma, Spain). (3 data files).

The stratification with geometrical height of the velocity and temperature 5 minute oscillation through the solar photosphere is obtained after the inversion of a time series of KI 7699 Å line spectra taken at disk center.

We present Gran-Telescopio-Canarias/OSIRIS optical spectra of four of the most compact and massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the Groth Strip Survey at redshift z ~ 1, with effective radii R e = 0.5-2.4 kpc and photometric stellar masses M sstarf = (1.2-4) × 1011 M sun. We find that these galaxies have velocity dispersions σ = 156-236 km s-1

Line-of-sight velocity fields in an irregular sunspot (NOAA 8990) have been determined from Stokes-I spectra of the line Fe I 630.15 nm, obtained with the La Palma Stokes Polarimeter at the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope on May 13, 2000. We show and discuss the resulting velocity maps, the dependence of velocities on the continuum intensities, and
