Prague, August 16, 2006 . ... We can decide to merge the GCVS with automatic surveys now. I have already outlined the difficulties and will give some examples illustrating the problems slightly later. Steve Kawaler's suggestion: 'The GCVS personnel might play a role as a `meta-catalog' - a central `index' of survey-based catalogs of variable stars'. ... If we want to have a good meta-catalog, the difficulties I have mentioned in relation to merging the catalogues still should be considered. ...

... Sternberg Astronomical Institute , Moscow University . ... Present edition unites two parts of Catalogue of interacting galaxies by B.A.Vorontsov-Velyaminov: the first part (Part 1) containing 355 systems was published in 1959 [1] and the second one (Part 2) with 497 objects - in 1976 [2].Thus two published parts of Catalogue include 852 interacting systems. ... All new of them (1162 by number) were taken from the comments to the galaxies in Morphological catalogue by Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al.[ ...

... October 2, 1999 . Phi Persei: Double Star . ... Based on recent results , this artist's vision of the double star Phi Persei , 720 light years away, shows a bright, rapidly rotating massive star surrounded by a disk of gas. A small companion star orbits 100 million miles away. ... Ten million years ago the small companion was actually the most massive star in the system and because of its greater mass evolved into a giant star more quickly. ... About APOD > . ...

... 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. ...
