XXVIII General Assembly of the IAU, SPS15 Beijing, August 31, 2012 . N.N. Samus, S.V. Antipin "Variable Stars and Data-Intensive Astronomy" . During the 26th IAU General Assembly in Prague, the IAU Division V (Commissions 27 and 42) considered the future of variable-star catalogues. ... To discuss these problems and to look for their solutions, the IAU Commission 27, on behalf of the IAU Division V, created an informal working group, chaired by the GCVS editor, Dr. Nikolai Samus. ...

... The Observatory, the cupola of which is 480 cm wide, is equipped with a Ritchey-Cretien 500 mm f/7.5 telescope, a 200 mm f/7.5 guide telescope, and a 250 mm f/13 Baker-Schmidt, a ST4 and a ST6 CCD cameras and four computers. ... Up until now we have archived about 600 images from the first observation, and 100 from the second, thanks to the automatic telescope aiming control program written by Vairo Risoldi. ... A.Nakamura, Japan, took CCD image of NGC5775. ...

... The bright supernova (hereafter SN) in the galaxy NGC 4527 was first sighted by S. Knight (USA) on April 13.17UT at magnitude ~14.0v. The report of the sighting was subsequently forwarded by phone to the AAVSO. ... SN 1991T. The galaxy NGC 4527 is an Sb(s)II type galaxy with an apparent Blue magnitude of 11.32 (Shapley-Ames, 1981). ...

... September 5, 1998 . The Pulsar Powered Crab . Credit: J. Hester and P. Scowen ( ASU ), NASA . ... Using a stunning series of visible light images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) , astronomers have discovered spectacular pulsar powered motions within the Crab nebula. Highlights of this HST Crab "movie" show wisps of material moving away from the pulsar at half the speed of light, a scintillating halo, and an intense knot of emission dancing, sprite-like, above the pulsar's pole. ...

... 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. ...
