Single-epoch multifrequency data for the BL Lac objects OI 90.4 and 3C 66A, spanning radio through ultraviolet wavelengths, are presented, as well as other measurements relevant to intensity and spectral-shape variability. Both BL Lac objects exhibit spectral curvature in the infrared-to-ultraviolet region, a properity that is inferred to be usual

We present high resolution images and high dispersion spectra of the planetary nebula IC 4593. Benefiting from superb seeing (0″.4), the narrowband images reveal the existence of a complex system of collimated knots in the inner 15″ of the nebula.The knots, which morphologically resemble outward facing bow-shocks, are located at different position

We used extensive ground-based multisite and archival spectroscopy to derive observational constraints for a seismic modelling of the magnetic β Cep star V2052 Ophiuchi. The line-profile variability is dominated by a radial mode (f1 = 7.148 46 d-1) and by rotational modulation (Prot = 3.638 833 d). Two non-radial low-amplitude modes (f2 = 7.756 03

On February 17, 2016, the IceCube real-time neutrino search identified, for the first time, three muon neutrino candidates arriving within 100 s of one another, consistent with coming from the same point in the sky. Such a triplet is expected once every 13.7 years as a random coincidence of background events. However, considering the lifetime of

Context. HBC 722 (V2493 Cyg) is a young eruptive star in outburst since 2010. Spectroscopic evidence suggests that the source is an FU Orionis-type object, with an atypically low outburst luminosity. Aims: Because it was well characterized in the pre-outburst phase, HBC 722 is one of the few FUors from which we can learn about the physical changes

We aim to detect and identify the faint X-ray sources belonging to Galactic globular clusters in order to understand their role in the evolution of globular clusters. We present a new Chandra X-ray observation of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808. Previous observations with XMM-Newton and ultraviolet observations with the Hubble Space
