The fourth photometry campaign of the Stellar photometry International (STEPHI) network was carried out in January 1992. On this occasion, the delta Scuti-like stars BN Cnc and BU Cnc were simultaneously monitored during a three-week, three-continental run. Six and five frequency peaks are unambiguously detected for BU Cnc and BN Cnc, respectively

Frequencies of solar acoustic oscillations can be analyzed asymptotically in terms of a function determined by the sound speed in the bulk of the sun and a function determined predominantly by conditions near the solar surface. The latter depends mainly on the frequency and is related to the phase shift induced by the reflection at the solar

The SNC meteorites are samples of the Martian crust, so inferences about their origins and parent magmas are of wide planetologic significance. The EETA79001 shergottite, a basalt, contains xenoliths of pyroxene-olivine cumulate rocks which are possibly related to the ALHA77005 and LEW88516 SNC lherzolites. Olivines in the xenoliths contain

We present high and low resolution spectroscopic observations for a sample of seven ring nebulae around Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in M33: MC 27, MC 44, MC 46, MC 51, MC 57, MC 65, and MC 70. An analysis of the ionization structure of the nebulae indicates that photoionization is the main source of excitation. Physical conditions and abundances have

Supernova 1993J (SN 1993J) in M81, now classified as Type IIb, is a strongly emitting radio supernova whose size can be resolved and whose growth can be monitored with the technique of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). The results could provide important information about the circumstellar matter and the degree of asymmetry of the explosion

We present deep charge coupled device (CCD) imaging of the low-luminosity radio galaxy B2 1243+26 which contains a two-sided, well-defined radio jet at the kpc scale. The galaxy is located in a region of high galactic density and has a nearby companion of similar luminosity. At approximately 10 kpc from the nucleus of the galaxy, we detect optical
