We present lightcurves ofasteroids 31 Euphrosyne, 196 Philomena and 471 Papagena and apply two different amplitude-aspect methods for pole and shape determination.

We present a detailed analysis on photopolarimetric monitoring on OJ 287 conducted at the Nordic Optical Telescope during January 1991. Large rapid variations were observed in flux, polarization and position angle; the largest being a 40% increase in the flux with a simultaneous 55 degree position angle rotation in five hours. Changes in the

We present polarization profiles observed with the High Altitude Observatory/National Solar Observatory (HAO/NSO) Advanced Stokes Polarimeter (ASP) that demonstrate, in a model-independent way, the presence of strong downflows close to the neutral line of a delta sunspot (a spot with both polarities contained within the same penumbra). The flows

About 500 asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars have been resolved and photometrically measured in the Local Group (LG) dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. They draw an AGB well shaped, densely populated, and extending to very red colors. It is the first time that this kind of AGB has been clearly detected. Using recent stellar evolutionary models and
