... It was found that the Sun lies 9?2 pc above the plane of hte Galactic disk in the direction of North Galactic pole and that F0-F9 stars contribute 0.0035 M /pc 3 to the density of the Galactic disk. ... We used this method to determine the scale height of the subsystem of F stars of the Galactic disk, Z 0 =160?10 pc. ... It is suggested that scale height of the metal-poor stars subsystem is due to the infall of the metall-poor intergalactic gas onto the disk. ...

Abstract -- Calculations are performed for the linear polarization of starlight due to extinction by aligned dust grains when the starlight traverses a medium with irregular magnetic fields. This medium is intended to represent the optically thick components of interstellar clouds which are observed to make little, if any, contribution to the polarization of starlight. ...
