Context. The connection of cluster mergers with the presence of extended, diffuse radio sources in galaxy clusters is still debated. Aims: We aim to obtain new insights into the internal dynamics of the cluster Abell 2345. This cluster exhibits two non-symmetric radio relics well studied through recent, deep radio data. Methods: Our analysis is

Context: The CoRoT short runs give us the opportunity to observe a large variety of late-type stars through their solar-like oscillations. We report observations of the star HD 175726 that lasted for 27 days during the first short run of the mission. The time series reveals a high-activity signal and the power spectrum presents an excess due to

We report on an intensive observational campaign carried out with HARPS at the 3.6 m telescope at La Silla on the star CoRoT-7. Additional simultaneous photometric measurements carried out with the Euler Swiss telescope have demonstrated that the observed radial velocity variations are dominated by rotational modulation from cool spots on the

Towards the end of the last decade, the international astronomical community realised that exploitation of the new generation of 8-10-m class telescopes would be hampered unless surveys of the sky with suitable depth were carried out. Deep surveys aimed at the study of distant galaxies require NIR imaging in order to cope with the cosmological

We present results from the most recent (2002-2004) observing campaigns of the eclipsing system KH 15D, in addition to rereduced data obtained at Van Vleck Observatory (VVO) between 1995 and 2000. Phasing 9 yr of photometric data shows substantial evolution in the width and depth of the eclipses. The most recent data indicate that the eclipses are
