A planetary nebula has been discovered in the course of the INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey (IPHAS) of the northern galactic plane. It is located near the galactic anticentre direction. Its small diameter and low Hβ brightness point to an extremely large distance. The ``Shklovskii'' galactocentric distance of DGC = 14-->20 kpc3 makes this nebula one

The authors obtained near infrared images in J, H, and K filters of the H II region N159 in the LMC with the IR Imager on the 1.5 m telescope of CTIO. Some 50 sources are detected in an area of roughly 10 arc min squared. The region seems to be a site of active star formation associated to a large molecular complex and possibly coincides with one

In the last decade a significant amount of observational effort has been made to determine the physical parameters of low mass stars (M < 1 Msol). The most recent observations appear to show a discrepancy between the mass-radius relation predicted by the models and that obtained from the observational data. This discrepancy appear to be explained

We present a preliminary analysis of ISO-SWS spectra of a sample of Vega-type and pre-main sequence stars, which were observed from the ground in a project devoted to the study of formation and evolution of planetary systems, carried out during the 1998 International Time of the Canary Islands Observatories. ISO-SWS covers many interesting features

We present the image and catalogue of the 14.3 μ shallow survey of 0.55 square degrees in the region of the Lockman Hole (10^h52^m03^s +57°21'46'', J2000) with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The data have been analyzed with the recent algorithm by Lari et al. (cite{Lari01}, MNRAS, 325, 1173) conceived to exploit ISO data in an optimal way

ISOPHOT covers the largest wavelength range on ISO from 2.5 to 240μm. Its scientific capabilities include multi-filter and multi-aperture photometry, polarimetry, imaging and spectrophotometry. All modes can optionally include a focal plane chopper. The backbone of the photometric calibration are internal standard sources checked against celestial
