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

La espectroscopía bidimensional con fibras ópticas es una técnica reciente que permite obtener simultáneamente la información espacial y espectral de un objeto extenso. Esta técnica puede ser aplicada en varios campos de la Astrofísica como, p.e., las regiones circumnucleares de galaxias. En esta Tesis analizamos los resultados obtenidos en esta

We present near-IR narrowband continuum-subtracted images in the H2 2.122 μm, and Brγ 2.166 μm emission lines for a sample of 15 bipolar planetary nebulae (PNe). H2 emission was definitely detected for most of the objects in this sample (13 of 15). The very high H2 detection rate supports the idea that bipolar PNe have important reservoirs of

We show here evidence for the necessity of an asymmetric form in modelling the profile of an acoustic mode in the power spectral density. The analysis was performed on a 805-day series of GOLF data (l=0 to 3). The assumptions used for the fits are discussed and their consequences quantified, in particular for the optimum choice of the fitting
