We analyze Fe I 630 nm observations of the quiet Sun at disk center taken with the spectropolarimeter of the Solar Optical Telescope aboard the Hinode satellite. A significant fraction of the scanned area, including granules, turns out to be covered by magnetic fields. We derive field strength and inclination probability density functions from a

Spectroscopic redshifts for 102 galaxies in the central region of the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 are presented. For each galaxy equatorial coordinates and radial velocity are given. (1 data file).

A test of Newton's law of gravity in the low acceleration regime using globular clusters is presented and new results for the core collapsed globular cluster NGC 7099 given. The run of the gravitational potential as a function of distance is probed by studying the velocity dispersion profile of the cluster, as derived from a set of 125 radial

Spectroscopic redshifts for 132 galaxies in the central region of the galaxy cluster Abell 2219 are presented. For each galaxy equatorial coordinates, total R magnitude and B-R colour (Harris filters), and velocity are given. Where available, we also give a code for the spectral classification. (1 data file).

We present multi-slit radial velocity measurements for 111 stars in the direction of the Virgo Stellar Stream (VSS). The stars were photometrically selected to be probable main-sequence stars in the Galactic halo. When compared with the radial velocity distribution expected for the halo of the Milky Way, as well as the distribution seen in a

We present the results on the optical morphology and structure of 25 low-luminosity radio galaxies. The radial dependence of parameters like the surface brightness, ellipticity, center, and position angle of the isophotes is presented to study the properties of the galaxies. Results for individual objects are discussed. (1 data file).
