Abstract:
One of the three main goals of the NTT Upgrade Project is to test the VLT control system in real operation before installation on Paranal. Although NTT and VLT have large differences in optics, mechanics and electronics, the VLT Common Software and the standardisation of VLT control electronics provide a common base. The strategy of the NTT Team has been to develop NTT unique applications on top of this common base and field test them on the telescope sub-system by subsystem, thereby providing feedback to the VLT development and preparing for the NTT Big Bang.

Abstract:
Another 3 test nights were used during the beginning of February for testing the optical performance of the 3.6-m telescope. The first two nights were dedicated to the realignment of the secondary mirror and to the study of the relative movement of the primary and secondary mirrors with telescope position. Antares, a wavefront analyser, was used for this purpose. The third night was used for image quality measurements. Very promising results were obtained.

Abstract:
The complexity and ambitious scope of VLTI mean that its astrophysical repercussions are difficult to define fully, even for many of its most vocal supporters. However, the primary scientic issues that it seeks to address are well defined, although there remains a need to present these coherently to the wider community in order to justify the significant resources which the project requires. Another pressing need is to develop an implementation plan that will optimally exploit the various technological stages of the project and ensure their compatibility with a vigorous, yet realistic and timely, astrophysical programme.

Abstract:
Radio galaxies are important laboratories for studying the early Universe, because they generally emit three components (IR-optical-UV continuum, emission lines and radio continuum) that are all highly luminous. Here the authors concentrate on one of the most interesting scientific aspects of the project, namely the nature of the gas associated with many of the distant radio galaxies.

Abstract:
CCD astrometry offers the possibility of measuring proper motions for the nearest galaxies, either from the ground or using HST, in only 5 - 10 years. An inertial reference frame, however, is needed against which to measure these motions. The authors have therefore been using the La Silla telescopes to seek QSOs behind several of the nearest satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, using a variety of techniques.

Abstract:
Multiline molecular observations toward the Sandqvist 136 dark globule have revealed a spectacular enhancement in the abundance of silicon monoxide and methanol molecules at the lobes of the associated bipolar outflow. The spatial distribution and broad line profiles of the SiO and CH3OH emission indicates a common mechanisms of the excitation of these lines: shocks. The authors conclude that the shocks created by the interaction between flows and the surrounding medium play a major role in the production of these molecules.

Abstract:
The first high-quality optical spectrum of the Crab Pulsar has allowed the accurate measurement of the pulsar spectral shape in the visible domain. More observations are obviously needed to confirm the existence and to clarify the nature of the absorption feature. In parallel, the long-term evolution of the optical luminosity of the pulsar has been studied and found to be poorley constrained by the data available so far.

Abstract:
The authors have obtained simultaneous high spatial resolution optical speckle and near-infrared adaptive optics images of the 126 mas Herbig Ae/Be binary star NX Pup and could derive accurate estimates for the evolutionary status of both components. Furthermore, they were able to decompose the overall spectral energy distribution into its constituent parts, namely the contribution of the two stellar photospheres and the infrared excess due to circumstellar material associated with both stars.
