We summarize results for photometry of Balloon 09010001 obtained from 2004 through to 2006.

We present an extensive spectroscopic investigation on evolved old- and intermediate-age stellar tracers of the Carina dSph galaxy. We discuss the approach we devised to calibrate the two multi-object spectrographs (FLAMES, FORS2) available at the European Southern Observatory. Pros and cons of the two instruments are also mentioned. Finally, we

The Advanced Moon micro-Imager Experiment (AMIE) onboard the ESA SMART-1 lunar mission performed imaging of the Moon between November 2004 and September 2006, when the mission was ended by crashing the spacecraft into the lunar surface. AMIE was a 1024X1024 pixel miniaturized CCD camera with three colour filters and a panchromatic channel (clear

The HST/ACS Survey of Galactic globular clusters (GGCs) is a HST Treasury project aimed at obtaining high precision photometry in a large sample of globular clusters. The homogeneous photometric catalogs that has been obtained from these data by Anderson et al. (2008) represents a golden mine for a lot of astrophysical studies. In this paper we

We present optical- near infrared photometry of the peculiar Galactic globular cluster NGC 6441. By using the K-band Period-Luminosity-Metallicity (PLZK) of its RR Lyrae stars, we supply a new estimate of its distance. With this distance, we discuss the comparison in the K-(J-K) plane between observations and "canonical" evolutionary models.
