context: The spectrum of IRAS 16594-4656 shows shock excited H_2 emission and collisionally excited emission lines such as[O I],[C I],and [Fe II]. aim: The goal is to determine the location of the H_2 and [Fe II] shock emission, to…

We analyze the properties of the star S2 orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the Galaxy. A high quality SINFONI H and K band spectrum obtained from coadding 23.5 hours of observation between 2004 and 2007 reveals that S2…

We have carried out a near-infrared imaging survey of luminous young stellar outflow candidates using the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. Observations were obtained in the broad band K (2.2 mu) and through narrow band filters at the…

HST and ground-based [OII} and [NII] images obtained from 1996 to 1999 reveal the existence of a ionised optical nebula around the symbiotic binary CH Cyg extending out to 5000 A.U. from the central stars. The observed velocity range of the…

We report the discovery of a transiting planet orbiting the star TYC 6446-326-1. The star, WASP-22, is a moderately bright (V=12.0) solar-type star (Teff = 6000 +/- 100 K, [Fe/H] = -0.05 +/- 0.08). The lightcurve of the star obtained with…

We have mapped the SiO J=5-4 line at 217GHz from the HH211 molecular outflow with the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The high resolution map (1.6''x0.9'') shows that the SiO J=5-4 emission comes from the central narrow jet along the outflow…

Most symbiotic stars consist of a white dwarf accreting material from the wind of a red giant. An increasing number of these objects have been found to produce jets. Analysis of archival Chandra data of the symbiotic system CH Cygni reveals…

Herbig-Haro flows discovered in photoionized medium forms a separate category and detailed studies of which become one of the key issues to our understanding of jet production and evolution. The Rosette HH2 jet is the second of such flows…

We present contemporaneous HST WFPC2 and VLA observations of the symbiotic nova HM Sge. We identify a number of discreet features at spatial scales smaller than approximately 0.1 arcsec embedded in the extended nebula, with radio and…

We report on the formation and evolution of two large-scale, synchrotron-emitting jets from the black hole candidate H 1743-322 following its reactivation in 2003. In November 2003 after the end of its 2003 outburst, we noticed, in…

We present a long-slit spectrum of the Herbig-Haro object HH 111, obtained with SITS on the Hubble Space Telescope. This spectrum has a spectral resolution of approx. 50 km/s, so it gives a good picture of the kinematical properties of the…

Line profiles containing indication of bipolar collimated outflow along with P Cyg absorption during phase of activity of several symbiotic systems are considered. The Hgamma profile of Z And during its 2006 outburst consisted of four…

We present new optical and infrared (IR) observations of Cir X-1 taken near apastron. Both sets of spectra show asymmetric emission lines. Archival optical observations show that an asymmetric H-alpha emission line has been in evidence for…

LT Del is a yellow symbiotic system that consists of a bright K3-type giant and a hot subdwarf with a temperature of about 10$^5$ K. We present the results of our spectroscopic observations of LT Del over the period 2010-2018. In 2017 the…

Symbiotic stars (SySts) are interacting binaries composed of a red giant transferring material to a hot compact star, typically a white dwarf. Although only about 300 systems are confirmed, the Galactic population is estimated at 1.2 x 10^3…

One of the major puzzles in the study of stellar evolution is the formation process of bipolar and multi-polar planetary nebulae. There is growing consensus that collimated jets create cavities with dense walls in the slowly-expanding…

We present a comprehensive set of spatially resolved, integral field spectroscopic mapping of the Wolf-Rayet planetary nebula Th 2-A, obtained using the Wide Field Spectrograph on the Australian National University 2.3-m telescope.…

Spectroscopic observations of a proto-planetary nebula He 3-1475 with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) reveal the kinematics of its high (1200 km/s) velocity jets. The jets are formed at a large (0.15 pc) distance from its…

Symbiotic stars are long-orbital-period interacting-binaries characterized by extended emission over the whole electromagnetic range and by complex photometric and spectroscopic variability. In this paper, the first of a series, we present…
