ALFOSC at the NOT: a successful loan

The Alhambra Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera, ALFOSC, is provided by the Instituto de Astrofisica de Andalucia (IAA) under a joint agreement with the University of Copenhagen and NOT. With a field of view of 6.4 x 6.4 arcminutes in imaging mode, it can also be used for low/medium resolution spectroscopy, and polarimetry. In this talk I present a selection of scientific results to which ALFOSC has contributed in the last years, and that demonstrate the success of the combination of instrument and telescope.
