The huge photometric databases that are being created for stars in the Magellanic Clouds and in Local Group galaxies not only allow a detailed study of the star formation history of these systems but also provide important information on stellar evolutionary theory. Two low-level features above the red clump in the LMC color-magnitude diagram (CMD)

The main objective of the GOLF Experiment (Global Oscillations at Low Frequencies) on-board the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) space mission is the quantitative knowledge of the internal structure of the Sun by measuring the spectrum of its global oscillations in a wide frequency range (30 nHz to 6 mHz). There is special interest in

We present a library of Utrecht echelle spectrograph (UES) observations of a sample of F, G, K and M field dwarf stars covering the spectral range from 4800 Angstroms to 10600 Angstroms with a resolution of 55000. These spectra include some of the spectral lines most widely used as optical and near-infrared indicators of chromospheric activity such

Optical Transients from gamma-ray burst sources, in addition to offering a distance determination, convey important information about the physics of the emission mechanism, and perhaps also about the underlying energy source. As the gamma-ray phenomenon is extremely diverse, with timescales spanning several orders of magnitude, some diversity in
