We have performed two-dimensional spectroscopy of the Seyfert galaxies NGC 5728 and 4151 in the 4500-7500A spectral range. The data (especially the [OIII] lambdalambda4959, 5007 lines), obtained using a new optical fibre system, complement previous observational work carried out by means of this technique. The two gaseous components found in NGC

Data on linear optical polarimetry were obtained during two observing runs at the Complejo Astronomico El Leoncito (CASLEO) in San Juan, Argentina, in 2003 (April 29 to May 5 and August 29 to September 2). (1 data file).

We present high time-resolution multicolour observations of the quiescent soft X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 obtained with ULTRACAM. Superimposed on the double-humped continuum g'- and i'-band light curves are rapid flare events which typically last a few minutes. The power density spectrum of the light curves can be described by a broken power-law

Early-type galaxies are thought to be among the oldest known stellar systems, and as such have experienced the full diversity of evolutionary mechanisms at work in the universe. They are crucial laboratories for understanding how galaxies form and evolve from early epochs until the present day. A key aspect of unlocking their fossil evidence is by
