... On the coude focus of 1-m (Zeiss-1000) telescope have installed two echelle spectrometers: CEGS and HELEN. Both spectrometers have been designed by Musaev F.A. and oriented for spectroscopy of relatively bright stars with different spectral resolution. ... spectral resolution R~40000, range 3200 - 10100 Angstroms - registered simultaneously with 1242x1152 CCD (see example of CCD image of Solar spectrum, obtained with 1252x1152 CCD - about 100 spectral orders are seen (151Kb jpeg file ). ...

Magnetic Stars, 2011, pp. ... We discuss a recent detection of a strong, organized magnetic field in the bright, broad­line B2V star, HR 5907, using the ESPaDOnS spectropolarimeter on the CFHT as part of the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) survey. ... 2010; Rivinius et al., 2010). ... From our longitudinal magnetic field measurements, we confirm this period, which we adopt as the rotational period of this star (see Fig. 1), making it the fastest rotating, non­degenerate magnetic massive star! ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....
