We report imaging observations of the symbotic long-period Mira variable R Aquarii (R Aqr) at near-infrared and radio wavelengths. The near-infrared observations were made with the IOTA imaging interferometer in three narrow-band filters centered at 1.51, 1.64, and 1.78 $mu$m, which sample mainly water, continuum, and water features, respectively. Our near-infrared fringe visibility and closure phase data are analyzed using three models. (a) A uniform disk model with wavelength-dependent sizes fails to fit the visibility data, and is inconsistent with the closure phase data. (b) A three- component model, comprising a Mira star, water shell, and an off-axis point source, provide a good fit to all data. (c) A model generated by a constrained image reconstruction analysis provides more insight, suggesting that the water shell is highly non-uniform, i.e., clumpy. The VLBA observations of SiO masers in the outer molecular envelope show evidence of turbulence, with jet-like features containing velocity gradients.

The first results on new optical data for R Aquarii (based on observations obtained with the 2.5m INT, the 2.5m NOT and the 3.5m NTT) are presented. The morphology and kinematics of the nebula, based on data obtained with the NTT from 1991 to 2000, a
re discussed. Physical parameters of the outer nebula and the knotty jet are derived using spectra obtained with the INT in 2001. From the analysis of all these data we propose that the spectacular knotty inner structure of R Aqr could result from the interaction of a highly collimated pulsating young jet with the older hourglass inner nebula.
We analyse the optical spectra and the UV spectral evolution of the jets and of the HII region inside the R Aquarii binary system by the code SUMA which consistently accounts for shock and photoionization. The temperature of the hot star results 80,0
00 K as for a white dwarf. We find that the shock velocity in the NE jet increased between 1983 and 1989. The spectral evolution between 1989 and 1991 of the SW jet indicates that a larger contribution from low density-velocity matter affects the 1991 spectra. The evolution of the UV spectra from 8/11/1980 to 26/5/1991 in the HII region indicates that the reverse shock is actually a standing shock. The results obtained by modelling the line spectra are cross-checked by the fit of the continuum SED. It is found that a black-body temperature of 2800 K reproduces the radiation from the red giant. A black-body emission component corresponding to 1000 K is emitted by dust in the surrounding of the red giant. Model calculations confirm that the radio emission is of thermal origin. We found that the NE jet bulk emission is at a distance of about 2 (15) cm from the internal system, while the distance of the SW jet bulk is about 6 (14) cm. The distance of the reverse shock from the hot source in the internal region is < 9 (13) cm.
The structure and dehydration mechanism of the proton conducting oxide Ba$_{2}$In$_{2}$O$_{5}$(H$_{2}$O)$_{x}$ are investigated by means of variable temperature Raman spectroscopy together with inelastic neutron scattering. At room temperature, Ba$_{
2}$In$_{2}$O$_{5}$(H$_{2}$O)$_{x}$ is found to be fully hydrated ($x=1$) and to have a perovskite-like structure, which dehydrates gradually with increasing temperature and at around 600 $^{circ}$C the material is essentially completely dehydrated ($x=0$). The dehydrated material exhibits a brownmillerite structure, which is featured by alternating layers of InO$_{6}$ octahedra and InO$_{4}$ tetrahedra. The transition from a perovskite-like to a brownmillerite-like structure is featured by a hydrated-to-intermediate phase transition at $ca.$ 370 {deg}C. The structure of the intermediate phase is similar to the structure of the fully dehydrated material, but with the difference that it exhibits a non-centrosymmetric distortion of the InO$_{6}$ octahedra not present in the latter. For temperatures below the hydrated-to-intermediate phase transition, dehydration is featured by the release of protons confined to the layers of InO$_{4}$ tetrahedra, whereas above the transition also protons bound to oxygens of the layers of InO$_{6}$ are released. Finally, we found that the O-H stretch region of the vibrational spectra is not consistent with a single-phase spectrum, but is in agreement with the superposition of spectra associated with two different proton configurations. The relative contributions of the two proton configurations depend on how the sample is hydrated.
We present new H$alpha$ and H$beta$ images of the HH~1/2 system, and we find that the H$alpha$/H$beta$ ratio has high values in ridges along the leading edges of the HH~1 bow shock and of the brighter condensations of HH~2. These ridges have H$alpha$
/H$beta=4to 6$, which is consistent with collisional excitation from the $n=1$ to the $n=3$ and 4 levels of hydrogen in a gas of temperatures $T=1.5to 10times 10^4$~K. This is therefore the first direct proof that the collisional excitation/ionization region of hydrogen right behind Herbig-Haro shock fronts is detected.
We have studied the superconducting phase diagram of NaHspace as a function of electronic doping, characterizing our samples both in terms of Na content $x$ and the Co valence state. Our findings are consistent with a recent report that intercalation
of oxpspace ions into Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$, together with water, act as an additional dopant indicating that Na sub-stochiometry alone does not control the electronic doping of these materials. We find a superconducting phase diagram where optimal Tcspace is achieved through a Co valence range of 3.24 - 3.35, while Tcspace decreases for materials with a higher Co valence. The critical role of dimensionality in achieving superconductivity is highlighted by similarly doped non-superconducting anhydrous samples, differing from the superconducting hydrate only in inter-layer spacing. The increase of the interlayer separation between CoO$_{2}$ sheets as Co valence is varied into the optimal Tcspace region is further evidence for this criticality.
