The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) coronal line spectrum of the brightest Seyfert galaxies from the CfA sample is presented and modeled. ISO observations of [O IV] 25.9 μm, [Ne V] 14.3 μm, [Mg VIII] 3.02 μm, and [Si IX] 2.58 μm lines are presented; their relationship with the soft part of the ionizing spectrum from 50 to 300 eV is investigated

We present synthetic optical spectra in the red and far-red (640-930 nm) of a sample of field L dwarfs suitably selected to cover this new spectral class, and the brown dwarf GL 229B. We have used the recent ``dusty'' atmospheres by Tsuji (cite{tsuji00}) and by Allard (cite{allard99}), and a synthesis code (Pavlenko et al. cite{pav95}) working

On March 2 06:00 UT the transient source XTE J1859+226 had faded considerably to R=18.0 in the optical (IAC) and to a flux of about 13 mCrab (RXTE ASM). However, it clearly remains active in the X-rays. From extrapolating the last spectrum obtained with HST on 2000, February 8th we predict the following approximate magnitude and colours: V~18.4, U

We present R-band photometry of the SW Sex-type cataclysmic variable WX Arietis made in October 1995 and August 1998-February 1999. Contrary to previous results, we find that WX Ari is an eclipsing system with an orbital inclination of i =~ 72o. The R-band light curves display highly variable, shallow eclipses ~ 0.15-mag deep and =~ 40 min long

Sub-arcsecond JHK images of the star formation region NGC 6334 IV covering 14.7arcmin2 have been obtained. These were supplemented by H2 and Brγ images of the central 2arcmin2. A total of 1238sources brighter than K=~17 were detected. Due to the very high extinction in this region, only 685 of these are brighter at 1.2μm than our limit, J=~20. Only
