Of the blazars detected by EGRET in GeV γ-rays, 3C 279 is not only the best observed by EGRET but also one of the best monitored at lower frequencies. We have assembled 11 spectra, from GHz radio through GeV γ-rays, from the time intervals of EGRET observations. Although some of the data have appeared in previous publications, most are new

We present a total time series of high signal-to-noise, high-resolution spectra of the SiIII lambda 4552.6, lambda 4567.8 and lambda 4574.8 Å lines of the fast-rotating, spectroscopic binary and beta Cephei star kappa Scorpii. Among this data set is a sample of 422 spectra of intensive monitoring during eight subsequent nights in July 1997. We find

Multi-epoch near-infrared photometry for a sample of long period variables (SR, L, Mira). Data have been obtained at the Observatorio del Teide using the 1.5m "Carlos Sanchez Telescope" with the "CVF Photometer-Spectrophotometer". The sample has been selected based on three observing programs at the ISO satellite. (5 data files).

The principal components analysis (PCA) technique is used to develop an extremely fast and stable Stokes inversion code, suitable for application to large data sets from instruments that operate under standard conditions. This paper provides some tips on reducing the dimensionality of the problem, which are then used to develop a practical

We present RIJHK imaging of seven radio galaxies from the 7C Redshift Survey (7CRS) which lack strong emission lines and we use these data to investigate their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with models that constrain their redshifts. Six of these seven galaxies have extremely red colours (R-K>5.5) and we find that almost all of them lie in

We present new infrared photometry of the WC7-type Wolf-Rayet star HD 192641 (WR137) from 1985 to 1999. These data track the cooling of the dust cloud formed in the 1982-84 dust-formation episode from 1985 to 1991, the increase of the infrared flux from 1994.5 to a new dust-formation maximum in 1997 and its subsequent fading. From these and earlier
