We report on the analysis of an X-ray grating spectrum of the Classical Nova V382 Vel (1999), obtained with the LETG+HRC-S instrument on board CHANDRA, which shows emission lines dominating over any continuum. Lines of Si, Mg, Ne, O, N, and…

A fast moving infrared excess source (G2) which is widely interpreted as a core-less gas and dust cloud approaches Sagittarius A* (SgrA*) on a presumably elliptical orbit. VLT K_s-band and Keck K'-band data result in clear continuum…

V4334 Sgr (a.k.a. Sakurai's object) is the central star of an old planetary nebula that underwent a very late thermal pulse a few years before its discovery in 1996. We have been monitoring the evolution of the optical emission line…

We investigate the reheating of the very late thermal pulse (VLTP) object V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object) using radio observations from the Very Large Array, and optical spectra obtained with the Very Large Telescope. We find a sudden rise of…

Results of simultaneous INTEGRAL and optical observations of galactic microquasar SS433 in May 2003 and INTEGRAL/RXTE observations in March 2004 are presented. Persistent precessional variability with a maximum to minimum uneclipsed hard…

We report the association of the recently discovered hard X-ray source IGR J17475-2822 with the giant molecular cloud Sgr B2 in the Galactic Center region. The broad band (3-200 keV) spectrum of the source constructed from data of different…

JWST/MIRI has sharpened our infrared eyes toward the star formation process. This paper presents the first mid-infrared detection of gaseous SO$_2$ emission in an embedded low-mass protostellar system. MIRI-MRS observations of the low-mass…

An accurate characterisation of the physical properties of galaxies at cosmic dawn is key to understanding the origin of the high abundance of UV-bright galaxies at z$\gtrsim$10. We exploit deep NIRSpec PRISM observations of GHZ2 to…

The black hole X-ray binary V4641 Sgr experienced an outburst in 2002 May which was detected at X-ray, optical, and radio wavelengths. The outburst lasted for only 6 days, but the object remained active for the next several months. Here we…

We report on time series of CCD photometry of V4140 Sgr between 1991 and 2001. The analysis reveals that the object was in the decline from an outburst in 1992 and again in outburst in 2001. The historical light curve collected by amateur…

We report the results of multi-epoch observations of Sgr A* with VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) at 43 GHz, carried out from 2004 to 2008. We detected a time variation of flux at 11 % level and intrinsic size at 19 %. In…

Two XMM Newton observations of Nova V4743 Sgr (Nova Sgr 2002) were performed shortly after it returned to quiescence, 2 and 3.5 years after the explosion. The X-ray light curves revealed a modulation with a frequency of ~0.75 mHz,…

A large radio outburst from Sgr A* was observed during the VLA weekly monitoring program at 2 cm, 1.3 cm and 7 mm, nearly coincident with the brightest X-ray flare detected to date with the XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory on 2002-10-03. The…

CONTEXT: V1309 Sco is the only certain noncompact stellar merger, due to its indisputable preoutburst light curve matching that of a contact binary of almost equal mass stars. Therefore, anything that can be deduced from the existing…

In this work, we analyze the ongoing brightening of the poorly studied symbiotic star V4141 Sgr and examine its long-term variability. We present new low-resolution spectroscopic observations of the system in its bright state and combine…

We present broad-band 24, 70 and 160 micron photometry, 5-35 micron and 55-90 micron spectra of the eruptive variable V4332 Sgr from Spitzer observations. The distinguishing feature of the 5-35 micron spectrum is an unusually broad…

Based on Bremer et al. (2011) and Eckart et al. (2012) we report on simultaneous observations and modeling of the millimeter, near-infrared, and X-ray flare emission of the source Sagittarius A* (SgrA*) associated with the super-massive…

The giant molecular cloud Sagittarius B2 (hereafter SgrB2) is the most massive region with ongoing high-mass star formation in the Galaxy. In the southern region of the 40-pc large envelope of SgrB2, we encounter the SgrB2(DS) region which…

We describe the results of fitting simple spherically symmetric models to the first overtone CO and AlO A-X (2-0) bands in V838 Mon. We find that the temperature and column of both CO and AlO systematically decline over the period 2002…

We report the XMM-Newton/EPIC detection in 2008 March of a luminous (L_X ~ 10^32-33 erg/s), variable X-ray source in the vicinity (within ~6") of the enigmatic star V838 Mon, which underwent a spectacular outburst in early 2002. Spectral…
