Photometry of the X-ray transient XTE J1859+226, obtained during outburst, showed at least 3 minioutbursts. During the second one, the source exhibited a 0.3 mag modulation with QPO flaring activity during the minimum.

We present gaseous and stellar kinematics for 14 gas-rich early-type galaxies. Half of the galaxies show irregular gaseous velocity profiles, with gas/star counter-rotation in 5 galaxies. We also find 5 counter-rotating stellar cores, and 5 more galaxies display stellar nuclei kinematically decoupled from the main stellar body. Our results indicate

In this paper we present the kinematics of the gas and/or the stars of a sample of 20 disc galaxies. We investigate whether there is any relation between the kinematics of the gas and stars and the classical morphological type of the galaxies in the sample. We deduce that, in most of the late-type spirals we have studied, the stars and the ionized

We show how the clumpy structure of the interstellar medium (ISM) both inside HII regions and in the diffuse component, permits the propagation of ionizing photons from OB stars on kiloparsec scales.

We summarize the main conclusions derived from integral field spectroscopy, with optical fibres, of six Seyfert galaxies. More than 95 spectra around the active nucleus have been obtained showing asymmetric emission-line profiles at different positions. Continuum and emission-line intensity maps and ionized gas velocity fields have been derived for
