We present the photometric history of some Luminous Blue Variable candidate stars in M 33. The search for outbursts was made in photographic plates taken in the B band of the galaxy M 33 and cover an eight year period, 1982-1990. Twenty five plates, separated into seven groups, have been used. CCD UBV magnitudes of the star UIT003 are presented

We report on near-infrared and optical observations of the GRB 970616 error box and of the X-ray sources discovered by ASCA and ROSAT in the region. No optical transient was found either within the IPN band or in the X-ray error boxes, similarly to other bursts, and we suggest that either considerable intrinsic absorption was present (like GRB

We present narrowband imagery and long-slit intermediate-resolution spectroscopy of the multiple-shell planetary nebulae NGC 2438 and NGC 5882. A comparative study of the chemical abundances of the main nebulae and their surrounding halos shows a moderate N/O enrichment of the central regions. The oxygen abundances appear constant throughout the

In a statistical analysis of Debrecen Photoheliographic Results sunspot area data we find that the logarithmic deviation (logD)' of the area decay rate D from the parabolic mean decay law (derived in the first paper in this series) follows a Gaussian probability distribution. As a consequence, the actual decay rate D and the time-averaged decay

We have monitored the photometric, spectroscopic and polarimetric variations of the classical T Tauri star (CTTS) AA Tau over a period of a month. The light curve consists of more than 260 measurements in each of the B and V-bands over a continuous time period of 30 days and more than 180 measurements in the R and I-bands. This provides
