SU Ursae Majoris the prototype of a subgroup of dwarf novae that display superhumps in super- outbursts has been observed during an international campaign dedicated to the observation of the first day of outburst of dwarf novae during 1986 February. After the start of a brightening was reported, the star was monitored by IUE, ground-based

We have measured the radial brightness distributions in the disks of three nearby face-on spiral galaxies, M51, NGC 3631, and NGC 4321 (M100), in the photometric bands B through I, with the addition of the K band for M51 only. The measurements were made by averaging azimuthally, in three modes, the two-dimensional surface brightness over the disks

In the context of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) morphological survey of Galactic planetary nebulae (PNs), a new morphological class has been found, and we define their members as quadrupolar PNs. We have found five quadrupolar objects whose lobes are, in pairs, symmetric with respect to two different axes. Among these PNs, three

We present 2 weeks of CCD photometry of V404 Cyg, the optical counterpart of the soft X-ray transient (SXT) GS 2023+338, taken from La Palma in 1992 July. The R-band light curve shows a clear 0.3-mag ellipsoidal modulation on the estabished 6.5-d orbital period, but with substantial (up to 0.3 mag) superposed variations that occur during each night
