. NASA's Kepler spacecraft, launched in March 2009, is designed to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. In the process it is capturing large quantities of data on the target stars which is used not only to search for planets but also to study stars in general. The results from NASA's Kepler spacecraft provide us with new information on a number of specific phenomena related to our fundamental knowledge of stars, their internal properties and evolution in time.

Asteroid-comet hazard (origin and dynamic evolution of objects approaching the Earth, observations, physical properties, cataloguing, data bases, estimation of collision probability with the Earth and other bodies). ... 5) In this connection the problem of concluding the international political agreement within the frames of UN about common active counteractions to the bodies on the orbits leading to collisions with the Earth is urgent. ...

... Recent studies indicate that stars are most likely forming within the binary and multiple systems. ... During several years we are conducting the observations of such multiple stellar systems at the BTA telescope in order to find their companions and study the properties therein. ... This star is interesting in that it may be a dynamically unstable multiple star, meaning that over time, such systems will split into individual stars. ... A bright component is a very tight spectroscopic binary star. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...
