First results of a photometric study of the richness=2 Abell Cluster 2443 at z=0.103 are presented. We have developed a new algorithm to perform a detailed morphological classification of 34 galaxies brighter than R=21.5 in the central region (2.5'X2.5') of the cluster. The algorithm corrects for the effect of the seeing which affects

We obtained at the same time G-band images at the Dutch Open Telescope (DOT) on La Palma and spectropolarimetric data in the near infrared at the German Vacuum Tower Telescope (VTT) on Tenerife. The spectropolarimetric data show interesting correlations. Bright filaments have a smaller magnetic field strength, and higher Evershed velocities occur

Astronomers from non-English-speaking countries, who form a sizeable proportion of the astronomical research community, are obliged to communicate the results of their investigations in a language that is not their own. Consequently, good science is frequently masked by poor command of English, which can create an unnecessary barrier to the

We report on opticalobserv ations on GRB 000210 obtained with the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope and the 1.54-m Danish Telescope starting 12.4 hours after the gamma-ray event. The content of the X-ray error box determined by the Chandra satellite is discussed.
