Prague, August 16, 2006 . Another problem that was making it difficult to automatically merge GCVS and survey catalogs has been recently solved: 'old' variable stars also had only very rough coordinates. The GCVS has been identified, on a star-by-star basis, with positional catalogs. ... The total number of stars we were unable to identify, at least tentatively, is only 200, most of them from two or three sources of especially unreliable positional information. ...
... Here is a brief outline of the current theory of the events in the early history of the solar system: . A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. ... The gas cools off enough for the metal, rock and (far enough from the forming star) ice to condense out into tiny particles. (i.e. some of the gas turns back into dust). ... Once the larger of these particles get big enough to have a nontrivial gravity, their growth accelerates. ...

... The distance scales of the objects are matched both by comparing the first derivatives of the angular velocity determined separately from radial velocities and proper motions and by the statistical-parallax method. ... Good agreement between the inferred 0 and our calculations based on space velocities suggests that the Lindblad relation holds throughout the entire sample volume. ... Brandt and Blitz (1993) published the distances and radial velocities for a total of 206 H II-regions. ... Astron. ...
