... A. M. Neminsky, P. N. Nikolaev, and D. V. Shovkun . ... The temperature dependence of the magnetic field penetration depth lambda ( T ) is determined down to 0.2 T c by the ac-susceptibility measurements on the Rb 3 C 60 fine powder with small, about 1 K, variation in the grains' superconducting transition temperatures. The lambda ( T ) temperature dependence is exponential at low temperatures, which allows us to determine the energy gap Delta 0 =1.7 k B T c . ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...

... The chemically peculiar star HD965 belongs to a rare type of very slow rotators. As far back as in the 90s, G.Mathys (ESO, Chile) supposed its extremely slow rotation as observing split Zeeman components in the spectrum, from which he measured the magnetic field on its surface. Field variation proved to be very slow, and G.Mathys determined that the variability period should be longer than two years. ... Up to now, only two stars with periods longer than 20 years are known. ...

Stellar population of the interacting galaxies M51. ... Stellar photometry of about one million stars in the system of the interacting galaxies M51 has been carried out on the basis of the ACS images of the Hubble Space telescope. ... A comparison of the stellar distribution in the main galaxy NGC 5194 with the empirical model of the distribution of stars showed their similarity, in spite of interaction in the system. ...

Next: ZGSC (Compressed GSC) and XSKYMAP . ... This is a preliminary report on an investigation of the quality and properties of plates digitized during creation of the Guide Star Catalog (GSC). The results will be vital for reclassifying GSC objects. ... Many objects are measured on more than one plate, and thus have multiple catalog entries. ... Among the shortcomings of the GSC are: biased magnitudes and incorrect classifications for certain objects, presence of artifact objects. ...
