A subcatalogue with positions and magnitudes of stars brighter than V = 16 and declinations between -30° and 0° is presented. The observations have been carried out with the Círculo Meridiano Automático de San Fernando at the Carlos Ulrrico Cesco Observatory in San Juan (Argentina) in the framework of an agreement between the ROA and the OAFA. The

Boxy/peanut bulges in disk galaxies have been associated to stellar bars. In this talk, we discuss the different properties of such bulges and their relation with the corresponding bar, using a very large sample of a few hundred numerical N-body simulations. We present and inter-compare various methods of measuring the boxy/peanut bulge properties

Using the gravitational torque indicator Qb, we derive the distribution of bar strengths for a sample of early-type disk galaxies. The sample is part of the Near-Infrared S0 Survey (NIRS0S), designed to examine the properties of bars, bulges, and disks in galaxies classified as types S0- to Sa. Although the survey is only partly finished, we find

We present the first light curves in the infrared J, H and K filters of HY Vir. Based on HY Vir and template stars spectra in the region 8440 8870 Å, we classify as F0 both stellar components of the binary. Also, we obtain the first radial velocity curves of the system. The analysis of the JHK light curves is carried out using a code based in ATLAS
