We present morphological and photometric properties of 79 low redshift (z=-24.0 with a clear trend for FRI sources to be ~ 0.5 mag brighter than FRII galaxies. In about 40% of the objects observed we find an excess of light in the nucleus that is attributed to the presence of a nuclear point source whose luminosity is on average ~ 1-2% of the total

The luminosity function of the globular cluster Palomar 1 is determined together with its confidence interval by applying an adaptive kernel estimator to data from the Isaac Newton Telescope. The luminosity function of Palomar 1 has two minima in the V band and one in the I band. The cluster core contains a relatively high fraction of bright stars

The solar rotation rate at latitudes 0 deg, 15 deg and 30 deg has been inferred by averaging the results of 120 regions of 15 degx15 deg, which have been studied over a total area of about 75 deg in latitude and 360 deg in longitude. A local helioseismology technique, the ring diagram analysis method, has been used to analyse the horizontal

We present time-resolved spectroscopy of the soft X-ray transient XTE J2123-058 in outburst. Spectral coverage of 3700-6700A was achieved spanning two orbits of the binary. The strongest emission lines are HeII 4686A and CIII/NIII 4640A (Bowen blend). Other weak emission lines of HeII and CIV are present and Balmer lines show a complex structure
