Comets, the most pristine members of our solar system, are faint at large heliocentric distances (rh > 3 au) and therefore difficult to observe. Data reduction of these faint objects (periodic comets) is time consuming and hence most often just preliminary results can be discussed. Only the orbits of short periodic comets can be predicted and most of those that have been accessible for ISO have been covered within the guaranteed time programme. About 10 proposals were accepted by the selection for open time proposals. A target of opportunity team was formed. The outstanding comet Hale-Bopp (C/1995 01), one of the brightest and therefore most active comets of this century, was suggested and accepted as TOO. The important results from the ISO cometary programme are derived from its observations. In addition to the observations of "classic" comets the newly detected (Jewitt and Luu, 1993) transneptunian objects, probably objects from the Kuiper belt, are observed in an attempt to determine their physical properties.

We report preliminary results of monitoring the flux from the Wolf-Rayet object WR 146 with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at 21 cm since 1989. We find the average flux density slowly rising in the period 1989–1997, with evidence of shorter time-scale variability.

In this paper, we first describe the situation of radio interference at the Miyun station in Beijing Astronomical Observatory, and then new developments in both hardware and software techniques of interference rejection for the Miyun Synthesis Radio Telescope (MSRT) are described.

AbstractThe preliminary results of several on-going AGN programs using the 2.16-m telescope at Xinglong Station of Beijing Astronomical Observatory are described. About 150 new AGNs including QSOs, BL Lac objects, and Seyferts have been discovered in the last two years.

AbstractWe present preliminary results from the Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS) Test Region and Parkes data. As part of the pilot project for the Southern Galactic Plane Survey, observations of a Test Region (325·5° ≤l ≤ 333·5°; −0·5° ≤ b ≤ 3·5°) were completed in December 1998. Single-dish observations of the full survey region (253° ≤ l ≤ 358 ° |b| ≤ 1°) with the Parkes Radio Telescope were completed in March 2000. We present a sample of SGPS H I data, with particular attention to the smallest-and largest-scale structures seen in absorption and emission, respectively. On the large scale, we detect many prominent H I shells. On the small scale, we note extremely compact, cold clouds seen in H I self-absorption. We explore how these two classes of objects probe opposite ends of the H I spatial power spectrum.

AbstractExoplanetary transit observations were carried out for the first time with all the three telescopes at the San Pedro Mártir National Astronomical Observatory in Baja California, Mexico.We present preliminary results on WASP-39 and WASP-43, two Hot Jupiters known for the presence of a highly-inflated radius. Using the defocused photometry technique, we observed these systems, achieving photometric precision of ± 3–5mmag peak-to-valley. The preliminary fit of their lightcurves shows physical and orbital parameters consistent with published results.

From Abell's (1958) list of clusters of galaxies, 137 clusters of distance group 5 were observed at 1410 MHz with the 210 ft radio telescope of the Australian National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Parkes. The detected radio sources were further confirmed hy observations at 2650 MHz with the same telescope and at 408 MHz with the east-west arm of the Mills Cross at the Molonglo Radio Astronomical Observatory. A total of 25 radio sources was detected within 5' arc of the centres of corresponding clusters of galaxies, while the mathematical expectation of the number of random coincidences with clusters is about two or three

Observations of 16 open galactic clusters in their continuum emission and at the neutral hydrogen line have been made with the Parkes 64 m radio telescope in an attempt to determine the total amount of hydrogen gas associated with them. In this, the first of a series of five papers, the observing procedure and the method of data reduction are described.

AbstractWe present preliminary results of two monitoring projects on AGNs and BL Lacs with four intermediate-band optical filters at Lick Observatory, South African Astronomical Observatory, and Siding Spring Observatory. We applied differential photometry between the target and non-variable field stars to derive the variability amplitudes. All the AGNs varied in all wavebands, with amplitudes from 30% to 90%. The variations in shorter wavelength filters are always larger than in longer wavelength filters. We did not observe significant continuum slope changes. Continuum variations of BL Lacs up to 0.2 mag in 20 minutes were observed. Interestingly, we found a time lag of 6–8 minutes between two seemingly correlated variations observed in the intermediate U band with the 1-m telescope and in broad V band with the 24-in. telescope at SSO.
