Historically, 3C 66A has been considered a relative quiescent blazar. For that reason, 3C 66A was selected as a comparison source for OJ 287 in the OJ-94 project. However, after more detailed observation it turns out that the variability of 3C 66A itself is very interesting. We have analyzed the entire project data set of 3C 66A from fall of 1993

We present the spectral energy distribution (SED) between 10 and 200 mu m obtained for the prototype narrow-line X-ray galaxy NGC 7582 with ISOPHOT, the photometer on board the Infrared Space Observatory. The emission is spatially extended and we separated for the first time the nuclear and extranuclear infrared SEDs. The nuclear luminosity (L_IR ~

We present deep BVI CCD photometry of the stars in the dwarf galaxy DDO 210. The color-magnitude diagrams of DDO 210 show a well-defined red giant branch (RGB) and a blue plume. The tip of the RGB is found to be at I_TRGB=20.95+/-0.10 mag. From this, the distance to DDO 210 is estimated to be d=950+/-50 kpc. The corresponding distance of DDO 210 to

High quality CCD cameras and powerful PCs are enabling advanced amateur astronomers to make high quality photometric and astrometric observations of a wide variety of solar system objects and to reduce them almost in real time. This has had important consequences for the observation of minor solar system bodies. In particular, new comets down as

The Global Oscillations at Low Frequency (GOLF) and the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) instruments aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) give an excellent opportunity to search for solar low frequency oscillation modes previously undetected from ground based experiments. Presented here is a comparison of the velocity power spectra
