Besides new observations, mining old photographic plates and CCD image archives represents an opportunity to recover and secure newly discovered asteroids, also to improve the orbits of Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs), Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) and Virtual Impactors (VIs). These are the main research aims of the EURONEAR network. As stated

Context: For the first time, spectroscopic galaxy redshift surveys are enabling galaxies to be studied with the nearest quasars. This allows the dependence of the activity of a quasar on its environment to be studied in a more extensive way than before. Aims: We study the spatial distribution of galaxies and properties of groups of galaxies in the

Aims: We completed observations with the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope to measure the polarised emission from a complete sample of compact steep-spectrum sources and improve our understanding of the physical conditions inside and around regions of radio emission embedded in dense interstellar environments. Methods: We observed the sources at

In a multiwavelength programme dedicated to identifying optical counterparts of faint persistent X-ray sources in the Galactic bulge, we find an accurate X-ray position of SAX J1712.6-3739 through Chandra observations, and discover its faint optical counterpart using our data from EFOSC2 on the ESO 3.6-m telescope. We find this source to be a

El decaimiento de las regiones activas en en Sol muestran dos fases, a saber: una fase linieal de pérdida de flujo local, y otra fase plana. A partir de los datos del instrumento SoHO/MDI hemos estudiado la evolución de tres regiones activas, cuantificando por primera vez estos ritmos de decaimiento, así como las cancdelacioones y pérdidas de flujo

FRIDA (inFRared Imager and Dissector for the Adaptive optics system of the GTC) will be a NIR (1-2.5 μm) imager and Integral Field Unit spectrograph to operate with the Adaptive Optics system of the 10.4 m GTC telescope. FRIDA will offer broad and narrow band diffraction-limited imaging and integral field spectroscopy at low, intermediate and high
