The serendipitous discovery of a new type I Seyfert galaxy, IRAS 09149-6206, found during a search for planetary nebulae using the IRAS Point Source Catalog is reported. The optical spectrum of this galaxy shows very strong broad Balmer and Fe II emission, indicating the existence of large optical depths, while the emission spectrum from the narrow

A method for applying a modified Wiener filter to time-tagged single photon data is proposed which can preprocess the data for use by a wide range of image sharpening algorithms. The method is applied to data from the 50-cm Roque de los Muchachos Observatory telescope, resulting in near diffraction limited images of the bright triple-star system

The effect produced by a sharp discontinuity in the upper boundary of the conductosphere is analysed in order to evaluate the distortions introduced in geomagnetic variation profiles in the long-period range of the spectra. To do so, a conformal mapping method is applied and the results are compared with the ones obtained in the case of lateral

Infrared observations are used to obtain effective temperatures with a 3-percent error for a sample of low main-sequence stars. The empirical calibration of Arribas and Martinez Roger (1988) is found to be valid except for the lowest metallicities and for effective temperatures of lower than 5000 K, and to predict exceedingly blue colors for solar
