... Study of Mg-Fe-silicate glasses of variable composition. ... With the new data, the astrophysical discussion started in Paper I was continued and focussed on the comparison of the olivine glass data with IRAS LRS spectra of O-rich circumstellar envelopes around Mira stars. ... The new olivine glasses point to the interesting consequence that the temperature for silicate dust grains at the inner edge of circumstellar envelopes must be considerably higher than the values often given in the literature....

We suggest that the embedded stars might be too young to have affected the surrounding molecular cloud significantly on a large scale. ... We assess that the (proto)stellar cluster lies at the center of a molecular clump with diameter of ~2 pc: to a good approximation this may be described as a spherically symmetric clump with density profile of the type n~R^(-1.8...

... From the uvby photometry and proper motions for about 5500 nearby F stars we have found the following: (i) F stars , taken in narrow ranges of metallicity , show at [fe/H] 0 rather distinct cut-off in their distribution along the Main Sequence (MS) at the blue side, which is suggested to be an indication for the MS turn-off in stellar groups of fixed metallicity ; (ii) the corresponding turn-off age from theoretical isohrones strongly correlates with the ...
