We report the discovery of a bipolar nebula around the peculiar emission-line star MWC 349A using archival Spitzer Space Telescope 24 um data. The nebula extends over several arcminutes (up to 5 pc) and has the same orientation and geometry…

We present the results of bispectrum speckle interferometry of the B[e] star MWC 349A obtained with the SAO 6m telescope. Our diffraction-limited J-, H-, and K-band images (resolutions 43--74 mas) suggest the star is surrounded by a…

The Galactic emission-line object MWC 349A is one of the brightest radio stars in the sky. The central object is embedded in an almost edge-on oriented Keplerian rotating thick disc that seems to drive a rotating bipolar wind. The dense…

The age and evolutionary status of MWC349A, the unique emission line star with maser and laser radiation in hydrogen recombination lines, remain unknown because the spectrum of the star is veiled by bright emission from the ionized disk and…

In order to study the inner parts of the circumstellar material around optically faint, infrared bright objects, we present the first medium-resolution spectropolarimetric data taken in the near-infrared. In this paper we discuss Pa beta…

We present polarimetric observations of a massive pre-main sequence short-period binary star of the Herbig Ae/Be type, MWC 1080. The mean polarization at 7660 A is 1.60% at 81.6 deg, or 0.6% at 139 deg if an estimate of the interstellar…

We present spatially-resolved K- and L-band spectra (at spectral resolution R = 230 and R = 60, respectively) of MWC 419, a Herbig Ae/Be star. The data were obtained simultaneously with a new configuration of the 85-m baseline Keck…

We observed the near infrared emission in the wavelength range 2.28-2.50 micron from the peculiar B[e]-star MWC349. The spectra contain besides the strong IR continuum the first overtone CO bands and most of the hydrogen recombination lines…

We report the discovery of TWA 30B, a wide (~3400 AU), co-moving M dwarf companion to the nearby (~42 pc) young star TWA 30. Companionship is confirmed from their statistically consistent proper motions and radial velocities, as well as a…

Anticipating new spectroscopic studies of quasar companions, we calculate expected emission line spectra for the companion galaxies. Under the assumption of isotropic photoionizing radiation, we predict equivalent widths for Halpha, Hbeta,…

We report the first detection of linearly polarized emission at an observing wavelength of 350 $\mu$m from the radio-loud Active Galactic Nucleus 3C 279. We conducted polarization observations for 3C 279 using the SHARP polarimeter in the…

MWC 349A is a massive star with a well-known circumstellar disk rotating following a Keplerian law, and an ionized wind launched from the disk surface. Recent ALMA observations carried out toward this system have however revealed an…

MWC 349A is one of the rare stars known to have hydrogen radio recombination line (RRL) masers. The bright maser emission makes it possible to study the dynamics of the system at milli-arcsecond (mas) precision. We present Atacama Large…

Optical spectropolarimetry of the nucleus of the LINER NGC 1052, obtained at the Keck Observatory, reveals a rise in polarization in the wings of the H-alpha line profile. The polarization vector of H-alpha is offset by 67 degrees from the…
