... Keywords: globular clusters,M3,photometry,HST . ... Perform the most accurate test of the ``stellar clock'' used in dating globular clusters. ... These data will provide the first complete sample of post-main sequence stars over the entire area of the cluster, and will allow the most stringent tests of stellar evolution and dynamics models. ...

... These sources are known from a previous study to be associated with dense gas and dust, and not associated with HII regions. All 11 sources were detected in HCO+, 9 in mm-continuum and 5 (out of 8 observed) in cm-continuum. The derived physical parameters confirm the high mass nature of these molecular clumps and suggest they are gravitationally bound. Molecular outflows were detected toward 6 sources, with flow masses and momenta much higher than in low-mass Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). ...

Their exotic surface abundances point to previous evolution through the white dwarf sequence, followed by re-ignition due to a late helium shell flash or to a binary merger. ... I review the basic observational and theoretical properties of extreme helium star pulsations and show how these have been used to constrain evolutionary models, with particular reference to the cases of V652 Her and BX Cir.

... We present preliminary results from two programs to image the host galaxies of radio-quiet quasars in 1.6 micron light using NICMOS camera 2 on HST. The high redshift program consists of QSOs covering the redshift range 0.8 < z < 4.4 and a range of QSO luminosities. Of the six objects for which data have been obtained the results range from no host galaxy detected, to an obvious galaxy with an interacting companion, to a possible high redshift galaxy cluster. ...

... The observed isotropy on the sky and non-uniform spatial distribution of gamma-ray bursts   (GRB) revealed by the BATSE   device onboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (e.g. Meegan et al. , 1992)[ 138 ] lend support to the idea of a cosmological origin of GRB (Prilutski and Usov, 1975;[ 165 ] Usov and Chibisov, 1975)[ 199 ] for which the best candidates could be merging binary NS+NS   or NS+BH   at high redshifts (z 1 -2), (Blinnikov et al. ...

... The earliest X--ray observations were carried out in the mid--1970s. X--ray luminosities of order L erg/sec were detected in the 2-11 keV range in the direction of the Orion star forming region. ... These observations showed that the O and B stars were the brightest X--ray sources, and that TTs were also associated with emission. Feigelson and Kriss (1981) showed that some of the X--ray sources were associated with PMS stars which had not been previously detected which H surveys. ...

Since the main goal of the HSS is an efficient search for new BCGs, the fraction of this type among all new detected ELGs - 84 %, or 80 % among all emission-line objects, is very encouraging. ... Thus a large fraction of BCGs relative to all ELGs is found ( 78 %) demonstrating the high efficiency of this survey to find on the Hamburg Quasar Survey photoplates namely galaxies with H II -type spectra. ...
