We present 2 weeks of CCD photometry of V404 Cyg, the optical counterpart of the soft X-ray transient (SXT) GS 2023+338, taken from La Palma in 1992 July. The R-band light curve shows a clear 0.3-mag ellipsoidal modulation on the estabished 6.5-d orbital period, but with substantial (up to 0.3 mag) superposed variations that occur during each night

The current status of the IUE project is described.

Accelerated bodies immersed in a fluid experience enhanced inertia due to the associated co-acceleration of a certain volume of fluid in their environment. We discuss the concept of enhanced inertia in the framework of the approximation of thin flux tubes, which is widely used to describe the dynamics of concentrated magnetic structures in

The solar core is the region where all the nuclear reactions take place and, therefore, where the energy is generated. Understanding the physics of these internal layers, the theory of solar and stellar structure can be settled into form grounds. However this is the most unknown region of the Sun. Helioseismology, mainly through the gravity modes

Observations of the soft X-ray transient Nova Vela 1993 are presented. These are the first observations, taken during quiescence in 1995 and 1996. An orbital, ellipsoidal modulation is found in the R-band photometry (mean magnitude of 20.6), with an amplitude of 0.23 mags at 6.86 +/- 0.12 h. The H-alpha emission spectra is presumed to arise from
