We present preliminary results of CCD BV photometry of the old open cluster King 2. The values obtained for the main parameters are:E(B-V)=0.31, (m-M)0=13.78, metal content approximately solar, and age 6×109 yr. From the comparison with synthetic colour-mgnitude diagrams generated by models with overshoot we try to answer the question whether or

The usually assumed identification of small-scale magnetic concentrations with bright facular or network points on the photosphere is observationally checked by using high spatial resolution spectra of Ca II K bright points very near the disk center. The detection of spatially unresolved magnetic structures is made via a new differential analysis

The low l solar acoustic spectrum has been measured with great accuracy for intermediate radial order modes, n = 11-34 (Jimenez et al., 1986; Grec et al., 1983; Palle et al., 1986). The measurement of the frequencies of modes of lower n, up to the fundamental one, are very important as they depart from asymptotic behavior and, therefore, put more

Simultaneous spectrometric and photometric observations have been performed on the red giant star Arcturus, in a search for radial velocity or luminosity variations related to global oscillations of the stellar structure. From a preliminary analysis of the spectrometric data, several frequencies have been discovered in the range from 1 to 50 micro
