New pulsation modes in two delta Scuti stars of Praesepe cluster, BQ and BW Cnc, have been detected during the STEPHI VI campaign in 1995. In particular, 3 frequencies for BQ Cnc and 9 frequencies for BW Cnc have been found above a 99% confidence level. The possibility of the presence of a g-mode present in BQ Cnc is discussed, considering its

KIC 3429637 (HD 178875) is a δ Sct star whose light curve shows continuous pulsational amplitude growth in Kepler mission photometry. Analysis of the three largest amplitude peaks in the Fourier transform indicates different growth rates for all three. We have ruled out instrumental causes, and determine the amplitude growth to be intrinsic to the

EMIR is the near-infrared wide-field camera and multi-slit spectrograph being built for Gran Telescopio Canarias. We present here the work being done on its data processing pipeline. PyEmir is based on Python and it will process automatically data taken in both imaging and spectroscopy mode. PyEmir is begin developed by the UCM Group of

OTELO is a survey of emission-line objects that will be carried out using tunable filters with OSIRIS at the GTC. The survey will have a deep impact on extragalactic astronomy due to its large area and its high sensitivity. In this paper we present new estimations of the number of QSOs that are expected to be found with this unique survey.

Results are presented on a non-LTE analysis of high-resolution Cassegrain echelle CCD spectra of the four most luminous stars in the NGC 346 cluster in the SMC, obtained with the ESO 3.6-m telescope, making it possible to estimate the age of the NGC 346 cluster and to trace its evolution. The results yield the effective temperatures, gravities
