Photometric observations of some Ap stars with a 50 cm telescope have been carried out at Izaña (Tenerife) in February 1986. The stars observed were, generally, magnetic-cool Ap stars. A search for global oscillations in the range 3 to 15 minutes has been undertaken and they seem to be present in some of the stars observed.

Selecting stars with previously measured or estimated rotational periods the authors measured Li equivalent widths in 8 stars of the Hyades late main sequence. Plotting log N(Li) against Rossby number the authors can separate the effects of temperature and rotation. They find for stars later than F8 increased depletion with longer period, at

The authors study the application of the phase retrieval algorithm suggested by Walker (1982) to 1-D short-exposure images obtained by infrared stellar speckle interferometry. To verify its performance, the algorithm has been tested previously with 1-D computer simulated speckle images.

The authors present the first astronomical images reconstructed from their autocorrelation functions using an improved version of the simulated annealing algorithm.

Type I post-main-sequence nebulae appear to be characterised by a range of unusual, and in certain cases extreme physical characteristics, including high velocity (and possibly high mass) outflows, and anomalous He, N, and C abundances; a feature which is almost certainly indicative of high mass nebular progenitors. The authors have acquired high
