We analyze Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) spectra in the 1150-1700 Å wavelength range obtained for six early B supergiants in the neighboring galaxy M31. Because of their likely high (nearly solar) abundance, these stars were originally chosen to be directly comparable to their Galactic counterparts and represent a much needed addition

Astrophysics is a very recent development in Spain, but its spectacular evolution in itself constitutes a singular phenomenon that has aroused the interest of sociologists and historians of science alike....

Coordinates (J2000), ZYJHK photometry from the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey, and proper motions derived from the UKIDSS/2MASS cross-match (in arcsec/yr) of stars in the AAOmega field-of-view ordered by increasing Z magnitude. The last column provides a tentative estimate of the spectral type. Data obtained with the AAOmega spectrograph on the

Optical spectroscopy of three recently discovered BL Lacs (PG 1246+586, PG 1424+240 and PG 1437+398) in the Palomar-Green optical survey is presented. The three sources have featureless spectra and the continuum is well represented by a power law model with slopes typical of BL Lac objects. The observations together with data at other frequencies
