    The near-infrared counterpart of 4U 1636-53
    Context. The optical counterpart of the neutron star X-ray binary and well known X-ray burster, 4U 1636-53 (=4U 1636-536 = V801 Ara) has been studied for three...

    The near-IR properties and continuum shapes of high redshift quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
    We present J-H-K' photometry for a sample of 45 high redshift quasars found by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The sample was originally selected on the basis of...

    The NGC 346 massive star census. Nitrogen abundances for apparently single, narrow lined, hydrogen core burning B-type stars
    Previous analyses of two large spectroscopic surveys of early-type stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have found an excess of nitrogen enriched B-type...

    The NIR Ca ii triplet at low metallicity. Searching for extremely low-metallicity stars in classical dwarf galaxies
    The NIR Ca ii triplet absorption lines have proven to be an important tool for quantitative spectroscopy of individual red giant branch stars in the Local Group...

    The non-LTE line formation of neutral carbon in late-type stars
    Aims.We investigate the non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (non-LTE) line formation of neutral carbon in late-type stars in order to remove some of the...

    The nuclear ring in the unbarred galaxy NGC 278: Result of a minor merger?
    We present fully sampled high angular resolution two-dimensional kinematics in the Hα spectral line, optical and near-infrared imaging, as well as 21 cm atomic...

    The nuclear starburst activity in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7679
    We present our recent spectrophotometric results of the infrared luminous Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7679. We find compelling evidence for the presence of a recent...
