AbstractVarious optical solutions are presented for the Beijing Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera of Beijing Astrophysical Observatory 2.16 m telescope. They are based either on dioptric or catoptric designs including an adaptation of the existing Cassegrain spectrograph.

We present results of the optical identification of a spatially complete, flux limited sample of about 700 ROSAT All-Sky X-ray sources contained in 6 study areas north of δ = −9° with |bII|> 20° (including one region near the North Galactic pole (NGP), another one near the North Ecliptic pole (NEP)). Countrate limits are 0.01 cts s–1 near the NEP and 0.03 cts s–1 for the other areas. The optical observations were performed at the 2.15-m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory, Mexico, using the Landessterwarte Faint Object Spectrograph Camera which allows to carry out direct CCD imaging and multi-object spectroscopy. The limiting magnitude is about 19m for spectroscopy and about 23m for B and R direct imaging. Our analysis shows a dependency of the ratio of ‘extragalactic’ (e.g., AGN, cluster of galaxies) to ‘stellar’ (e.g., coronal emitters, active binaries) counterparts on NH. In the area near the NGP (low NH) ‘extragalactic’ counterparts dominate, while in the area with the highest NH ‘stellar’ counterparts dominate.

We report the results of spectroscopic observations of the ultra-high excitation, helium-rich, pre-white dwarf KPD0005+5106 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) in 1991 May and July with the red (FOS/RD) and blue (FOS/BL) Digicon detectors. The data reveal a rich line spectrum both in absorption and in emission with ultra-high excitation species present including O VIII, N V, possibly C V, Fe VI, Fe VII and numerous weaker high n, low l, transitions of C IV and O VI as well as the predominant He II (3 → n) and He II (Balmer α) absorption lines. There is a strong emission complex at 2981A which we identify primarily as three transitions of N V commonly seen in WN Wolf-Rayet spectra. We present evidence that high ionization species in emission (O VIII, N V, C IV, Si IV) and in absorption (He II, Fe VI, Fe VII) are longward-shifted relative to the far UV resonance (circumstellar) absorption lines by 25–50 km/s. Based upon the detected species, line velocities, line widths and emission features, we conclude that (1) KPD0005 is the very likely the evolutionary descendant of a WN-WC subluminous Wolf-Rayet progenitor and (2) has ongoing, possibly episodic, mass outflow.

This paper is based on photometry from two different observational approaches. Both are of an explorative character and act as feasibility studies. For the future we plan to use these methods to study Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars in nearby galaxies.First, we present results on broad-band photometry in Bessell V and I, as well as narrow-band measurements in the Wing 778 nm and 812 nm filters of a galactic globular cluster using the new Austrian Oe-FOSC (Oesterreich Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera), a copy of the ESO Instrument EFOSC mounted on our 1.5 m-telescope.The second part of the contribution deals with the possibilities of using Gunn I, J and KS measurements originating from the DENIS (DEep Near Infrared Survey of the Southern Sky) project on similar objects. A few southern dwarf spheroidals already observed within DENIS (covering now some 40% of the southern hemisphere) are selected.
