Observations carried out with a 8-13 micron grating-spectrometer of Mrk 231 and NGC 4151 are reported. The Mrk 231 data can be fitted to various thermal dust emission models or a single power law, with dust extinction. In all the model fits, except for that of graphite and silicon carbide grain emission, a component of silicate absorption of

The authors present the results of a survey made at 1.65 μm (H) and 2.2 μm (K) in 15 small areas on the galactic equator between l = 0° and l = 10°. 775 distinct objects were counted in a total area of 0.17 deg2 to limiting magnitudes H = 10.5 and K = 9.5 (equivalent to detecting M giants at 6 - 7 kpc). Source confusion was the limiting factor in

It is shown that, given suitable radial velocity values for the stars and the local interstellar medium (LISM) interstellar absorption can be distinguished from chromospheric self absorption within the MgII emissions from late type stars. Beta Hyi (G2IV) offers a clear example. Zeta Tuc (G2V) and delta Pav (G8V) which are very close to beta Hyi
