We are performing a survey of a sample of 17 radio jets with Chandra and HST, with the aim of finding their X-ray and optical counterparts. In this paper, we present the preliminary Chandra results for the first six sources observed and analyzed so far. In four of them an X-ray jet is clearly detected. We compare the X-ray morphologies to the radio

We discuss the constraints set on galaxy evolution by a variety of data from deep extragalactic surveys performed in the mid-IR and far-IR with the Infrared Space Observatory and with millimetric telescopes at longer wavelengths. These observations indicate extremely high rates of evolution for IR galaxies, exceeding those measured for galaxies at

A bright X-ray transient in M31 was detected in a 5000-sec Chandra ACIS-I observation on 2001 Aug 31.54 UT. The new transient (CXOU J004305.5+411703) is located at R.A. = 00h43m05s.55, Decl = +41o17'03''.3 (equinox 2000.0; based on the aspect solution, with uncertainty of ~1''). The energy spectrum can be fitted with a power-law model with a photon

We report on low-resolution spectroscopy of GX339-4 during its current, extended X-ray ``off'' state in May 2000 (r=20.1) obtained with the VLT Focal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrograph (FORS1). Although we do not positively detect the secondary star in GX339-4 we place an upper limit of 30 percent on the contribution of a ``normal'' K-type

This table presents optical UBVRI broadband photo-polarimetry of the EXPORT sample obtained at the 2.5m Nordic Optical Telescope. The database consists of multi-epoch photo-polarimetry of 68 pre-main-sequence and main-sequence stars. (2 data files).
