Optical photometry of HIDEEP galaxies was carried out using a combination of SExtractor (Bertins & Arnouts, 1996A&AS..117..393B) and the STSDAS package in IRAF, where the ellipse task was used to obtain radial surface brightness profiles. (2 data files).

Aims: We aim to monitor the optical linear polarimetric signal of the magnetized, rapidly rotating M8.5 dwarf TVLM 513-46546. Methods: R- and I-band linear polarimetry images were collected with the Andalucía Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera (ALFOSC) instrument of the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on two consecutive nights, covering

Optical imaging of RX J105453.3+552102 was carried out at the 2.5m NOT telescope in March 2008. Optical deep images were used for studying the properties of the brightest group galaxy and for computing the photometric luminosity function of the group. We have also performed a detail dynamical analysis of the system based on redshift data for 116

We report the identification of RXJ0636 as a new intermediate polar. The system's light curves and spectral analysis, together with a variety of its physical parameters are presented. A brief description of the observations leading to the above mentioned identification is also given.

We report the detection of a type I X-ray burst with burst oscillations during an RXTE-PCA observation of the recently discovered accreting millisecond pulsar (AMP) IGR J17498-2921 (ATels #3551, #3555, #3556, #3558, #3559, #3560, #3561, #3562, #3563). The burst intensity peaked on 2011-08-16 at 15:21:45 UTC. We find a rise time of ~0.4s (time span

Approximately half of the elements with atomic number Z > 30 are created by slow neutron-capture process in the stellar interior of low- and intermediate- mass stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), during the phase of thermal pulses. These elements, collectively called s-process elements, are dredged up onto the surface of the star and later
