We present the results of a program of K- and KS-band imaging of a sample of 2Jy radio galaxies with redshifts 0.03

We have analyzed in detail the discovery measurements of the X-ray burster SAX J1750.8-2900 by the Wide Field Cameras on board BeppoSAX in spring 1997, at a position ~1.2d off the Galactic center. The source was in outburst on March 13 when the first observation started and showed X-ray emission for ~2 weeks. A total of nine bursts were detected

A new line list for the A2Σ+ -X2 Π electronic transition of OH has been calculated. Line positions have been taken from the literature and refitted with Western's PGOPHER program. Line intensities were calculated using a new ab initio Transition Dipole Moment Function (TDMF) obtained with Molpro 2012. The new TDMF and the potential functions from

A new linelist for the A3Π-X3Σ- electronic transition of NH has been prepared using line positions from the literature and calculated line intensities. High level ab initio calculations were performed with the MOLPRO program to obtain the A-X transition dipole moment function. Potential energy curves and line strengths were calculated with Le Roy's

We present a new technique for performing two-dimensional (integral-field) spectroscopy of objects with a large range in intensity. It is based on the capability of optical fibers to discretize the intensity distribution at the telescope focal plane. This allows not only reformatting but also the equalization of fiber output intensities, matching

In 2011 Laporte et al. reported a very high redshift galaxy candidate: a lensed J-band dropout (A2667-J1). J1 has a photometric redshift of z= 9.6-12, the probability density function for which permits no low- or intermediate-z solution. We here report new spectroscopic observations of this galaxy with Very Large Telescope/X-Shooter, which show
