We report on the status of the construction of an array of four 10 m atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes for gamma-ray astronomy, near Woomera, in South Australia -- the CANGAROO-III project. The first telescope of this array is the upgraded version of the CANGAROO-II 7 m telescope and has been in operation since March 2000. The second telescope, an improved version of the first, is being constructed for installation in late 2001. Stereoscopic observation of sub TeV gamma-rays with the two 10 m telescopes will begin in 2002 and the full array will be operational in 2004.

The CANGAROO-III project,which consists of an array of four 10 m imaging Cherenkov telescopes,has just started being constructed in Woomera, South Australia,in a collaboration between Australia and Japan. The first stereoscopic observation of celesti al high-energy gamma-rays in the 100 GeV region with two telescopes will start in 2002,and the four telescope array will be completed in 2004. The concept of the project and the expected performance are discussed.
After the discovery of V391 Peg b, the first planet detected around a post Red Giant phase star (Silvotti et al. 2007), the EXOTIME (EXOplanet search with the TIming MEthod) project is focused on the search for new planets with similar characteristic s. The aim of the project is to organize a global observing network to collect as much data as possible for a sample of five subdwarf B (sdB) stars and share them in order to obtain a more precise analysis. These evolved pulsators may have extremely regular oscillation periods. This feature makes these stars suitable to search for planetary companions with the timing method as in the case of pulsars. In this contribution we present the project and some preliminary results for the star PG 1325+101 (QQ Vir) after the first two years of activity.

In this report we present the status of the MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion eXperiment (MADMAX), the first dielectric haloscope for the direct search of dark matter axions in the mass range of 40 to 400 $mu$eV. MADMAX will consist of several paralle l dielectric disks, which are placed in a strong magnetic field and with adjustable separations. This setting is expected to allow for an observable emission of axion induced electromagnetic waves at a frequency between 10 and 100 GHz corresponding to the axion mass. The present document orignated from a status report to the DESY PRC in 2019.
The visitor instrument PIONIER provides VLTI with improved imaging capabilities and sensitivity. The instrument started routinely delivering scientific data in November 2010, that is less than 12 months after being approved by the ESO Science and Tec hnical Committee. We recall the challenges that had to be tackled to design, built and commission PIONIER. We summarize the typical performances and some astrophysical results obtained so far. We conclude this paper by summarizing lessons learned.
TAROT-1 is an automatic, autonomous ground based observatory whose primary goal is the rapid detection of the optical counterparts of cosmic gamma-ray burst sources. It will be able to begin imaging any GRB localization 8 seconds after receipt of an alert from CGRO/BATSE or HETE-2. TAROT-1 will reach the 17th V magnitude in 10 seconds, at a 10$sigma$ confidence level. TAROT will be able to observe GRB positions given by Beppo-SAX or RXTE, EUV transients from ALEXIS alerts, etc. TAROT will also study a wide range of secondary objectives and will feature a complete automatic data analysis system, and a powerful scheduling software. TAROT will be installed this fall on the Plateau du Calern, 1200m above sea level. We report on the status of the project.
