A Hubble View of Star Forming Regions in the Magellanic Clouds
The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) offer an outstanding variety of young stellar associations, in which large samples of low-mass stars (with M≲1 M⊙ currently in the act of formation can be resolved and explored in deta...

The Need for Ultraviolet to Understand the Chemical Evolution of the Universe and Cosmology.
We identify an important set of key areas where an advanced observational Ultraviolet capability would have major impact on studies of cosmology and Galaxy formation in the young Universe. Most of these are as...

Radio Observations of γ-Ray Burst Afterglows
Since 1997 the afterglow of γ-ray bursting sources (GRBs) has occasionally been detected in the radio, as well in other wavelengths bands. In particular, the interesting and unusual γ-ray burst GRB980425, thou...

Ultraviolet Supernovae
The observations of supernovae made with IUE and HST are reviewed and discussed. The various supernova types are characterized and discussed in the light of their ultraviolet properties. Special emphasis is place...

T Tauri Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud: A Combined HST and VLT Effort
The combination of the unprecedented spatial resolution attainable with WFPC2 on board HST and of the large collecting area of the VLT makes it possible to study in detail the low mass pre-Main Sequence stars ...

Distance Scale from Supernovae
Supernovae have been playing an ever increasing role in the determination of the key cosmological parameters. They are extremely luminous point sources whose brightness at maximum rivals that of their host gal...

IUE Observations of Supernovae
The launch of the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite in early 1978 marked the beginning of a new era for SN studies because of its capability of measuring the ultraviolet emission of objects as...

A Supernova with a Difference, SN 1986J
A new radio source was discovered on 21 August 1986 by VAN GORKOM et al. [1] during their study of the nearby, edge-on, spiral galaxy NGC891. Because the source lay in the disk and had HI absorption features c...

On the Nature of Type Ib Supernova Progenitors
The realization that there is a separate subclass of Type I supernovae (SNe) to be denoted as Type Ib came after the detailed study of the SN 1983N in M83 (PANAGIA et al [1]; see also PANAGIA [2], WHEELER and LEV...

A Third, Inner Light Echo Ring Around SN 1987A
At the beginning of this year evidence has been found for a third, inner echo near SN 1987A (BOND et al. [l]). This discovery is of great importance because the detection of an echo so close to the SN 1987A revea...

Ionized Winds from Young Stellar Objects
The observations and the theory of the radio and infrared emission from ionized winds of young stellar objects are reviewed and discussed.

Type Ib supernovae: What they may be and what they are not
We show that the progenitors of Type Ib supernovae are likely to be moderately massive stars (M ∼ 7 M⊙) in binary systems and we argue that the hypothesis that they originate from very massive stars (M > 20 M⊙) i...

Ultraviolet observations of SN 1987A
The results of IUE observations of- SN 1987A are presented and discussed. One of the most important conclusions is that the direct progenitor of the supernova was a blue supergiant (Sk -69 202) that, however, ...

Wind Characteristics of the 07 n Star HD 217086 in the Cep OB 3 Association
The 07 n star HD 217086 which provides the ionization of the H II region S 155 A and is the brightest member of the Cep OB 3 association, has been observed in the ultraviolet with IUE. From an analysis of the ...
