... In collaborative work with David Garc?a Alvarez (an Observatory PhD student now at Harvard) and John Butler, an extensive study of the RS CVn binary HR1099 was completed leading to two papers; the first on Doppler imaging and the second on flare activity. Spectra for the Doppler imaging were taken at two different sites, Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), Arizona, and Mount Stromlo Observatory (MSO), Australia, during the 1998 MUltiSIte COntinuous Spectroscopic (MUSICOS) campaign. ...

CLASS: a well-de ned sample of radio-selected gravitational lens systems for cosmology I.W.A. Browne & S.T. Myers Jodrell Bank Observatory & NRAO To exploit gravitational lensing for cosmology large, reliable and statistically complete surveys are required. With the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) we have set out to achieve these goals. ... Optical follow up of the lens systems with HST reveal the lensing galaxy in all but one (questionable) case, indicating that dark lenses are rare. ...

... In order to realize the optimal scientific return from the VLT, ESO has undertaken to develop an end-to-end data flow system from proposal entry to science archive.
