The results of a high temporal resolution spectroscopic monitoring of the UV Cet type fare stars AD Leo and V1054 Oph are reported. Intermediate resolution optical spectra of these stars were taken using the IDS spectrograph of the 2.5 m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) of El Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (Spain) during 4 nights (2-5 April 2001)

HIDEEP was carried out in a region of Centaurus centred on RA=13h40m00s, DE=30{deg}00'00" (J2000) with 1024 spectral channels covering 1280 to 12700km/s. As a result of the shape of the Parkes multibeam footprint, the survey has a sensitivity as good as or better than HIPASS over 6x10deg2 with a uniform sensitivity over the central 4x8deg2 area

We consider a generalized statistical mechanics model for the creation process of cosmic rays which takes into account local temperature fluctuations. This model yields Tsallis statistics for the cosmic ray spectrum. It predicts an entropic index q given by q=11/9 at largest energies (equivalent to a spectral index of α=5/2), and an effective

In the first part of this article we show how observations of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy: G- and K-dwarf numbers as functions of metallicity, and abundances of the light elements, D, Li, Be and B, in both stars and the interstellar medium (ISM), lead to the conclusion that metal poor HI gas has been accreting to the Galactic disc during

There is considerable evidence that the circumnuclear regions of galaxies are intimately related to their host galaxies, most directly through their bars. There is also convincing evidence for relations between the properties of supermassive black holes in the nuclei of galaxies and those of their host galaxy. It is much less clear, however, how
