... These Frontier Fields will combine the power of HST with the natural gravitational telescopes of high-magnification clusters of galaxies. ... We are soliciting gravitational lensing maps for the last four Hubble Frontier Fields clusters (MACSJ0717.5+3745, MACSJ1149.5+2223, AbellS1063, and Abell 370) based upon the exceptionally deep HST FF imaging and other new ancillary data. ...

... Our recent observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (August 29, 2014) led to revealing a highly isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxy KKs 3 situated at a distance of 2.12 0.07 Mpc from the Milky Way. The dSph galaxy locates on the southern sky (RA=02 h 24 m 44.4 s , Dec.= ... Over the last decade, about 30 dSph galaxies have been discovered inside the Local Group through systematic search in the vicinity of M31 and more that a dozen dSphs were discovered in the nearby group around M81. ...

... The large body of near infrared observations presented in Testi et al. (1997; 1998) are analysed with the aim of characterizing the young stellar clusters surrounding Herbig Ae/Be stars. The results confirm the tendency of early Be stars to be surrounded by dense clusters of lower mass "companions", while Ae stars are never found to be associated with conspicuous groups. ... Only the most massive stars (10-20Msun) are found to be associated with dense (10^3 pc^-3) stellar clusters. ...

J/AstL/vol/page SAI Open Clusters Catalog (Glushkova+, 2009) ================================================================================ Automated search for star clusters in large multiband surveys. ... Color excesses E(B-V), distance moduli and ages were determined for 141 new and 27 known, but poorly studied clusters. We present the Sternberg Astronomical Institute Open Clusters Catalog (SAI OCL Catalog) of coordinates, diameters and main physical parameters of these clusters. ...

The weather throughout this year was so extremely favorable that I have been able to observe the Sun clearly on 312 days; however, I counted only 34 groups of sunspots..

... V79 was known as an RRab type star or fundamental mode pulsator with the period of about 0.483 day during the century after its discovery by S.I.Bailey in 1895. ... The first overtone with the period of 0.359 day became the dominant mode. ... Periodogram analysis gives the only period of 0.4825 day, but not of 0.359 day. ... The period of this modulation is unusually small and equal to 1.389 day, that suggests the beat period or resonance motion between the fundamental mode and the first overtone. ...

... The routines implemented are CLUSTER which has 8 options for hierarchical clustering and PARTITION which carries out non--hierarchical clustering. ... The former is non--hierarchical clustering or partitioning. The latter is hierarchical clustering. Brief consideration will show that a sequence of n-1 agglomerations are needed to successively merge the two closest objects and/or clusters at each stage, so that we have a set of n (singleton) clusters, n-1 clusters, ..., 2 clusters, 1 cluster. ...

Stellar Clusters are very useful laboratories for empirically studying stellar evolution. ... All cluster stars are at the same distance . All cluster stars have the same physical age . ... CM diagram Young Cluster In this case we see the Main Sequence fully represented. The blue dots represent massive stars with short main sequence lifetimes. ... Thus, identifying the most massive star which is still on the main sequence is an effective means of determining the age of a stellar cluster. ...
