Statistical Constraints for Astrometric Binaries with Nonlinear Motion
Useful constraints on the orbits and mass ratios of astrometric binariesin the Hipparcos catalog are derived from the measured proper motiondifferences of Hipparcos and Tycho-2 (Δμ), accelerations ofproper motions (μ˙), and second derivatives of proper motions(μ̈). It is shown how, in some cases, statistical bounds can beestimated for the masses of the secondary components. Two catalogs ofastrometric binaries are generated, one of binaries with significantproper motion differences and the other of binaries with significantaccelerations of their proper motions. Mathematical relations betweenthe astrometric observables Δμ, μ˙, and μ̈ andthe orbital elements are derived in the appendices. We find a remarkabledifference between the distribution of spectral types of stars withlarge accelerations but small proper motion differences and that ofstars with large proper motion differences but insignificantaccelerations. The spectral type distribution for the former sample ofbinaries is the same as the general distribution of all stars in theHipparcos catalog, whereas the latter sample is clearly dominated bysolar-type stars, with an obvious dearth of blue stars. We point outthat the latter set includes mostly binaries with long periods (longerthan about 6 yr).

UBV beta Database for Case-Hamburg Northern and Southern Luminous Stars
A database of photoelectric UBV beta photometry for stars listed in theCase-Hamburg northern and southern Milky Way luminous stars surveys hasbeen compiled from the original research literature. Consisting of over16,000 observations of some 7300 stars from over 500 sources, thisdatabase constitutes the most complete compilation of such photometryavailable for intrinsically luminous stars around the Galactic plane.Over 5000 stars listed in the Case-Hamburg surveys still lackfundamental photometric data.

The Tokyo PMC catalog 90-93: Catalog of positions of 6649 stars observed in 1990 through 1993 with Tokyo photoelectric meridian circle
The sixth annual catalog of the Tokyo Photoelectric Meridian Circle(PMC) is presented for 6649 stars which were observed at least two timesin January 1990 through March 1993. The mean positions of the starsobserved are given in the catalog at the corresponding mean epochs ofobservations of individual stars. The coordinates of the catalog arebased on the FK5 system, and referred to the equinox and equator ofJ2000.0. The mean local deviations of the observed positions from theFK5 catalog positions are constructed for the basic FK5 stars to comparewith those of the Tokyo PMC Catalog 89 and preliminary Hipparcos resultsof H30.

A preliminary compilation of DS-programme star positions
A catalog is presented of the double-star-program (DS-program) starpositions, listing right ascensions for 930 DSs and declinations for1225 DSs of the program. The positions were compiled from the observedvalues obtained between 1980 and 1987 with the meridian circles of sixUSSR observatories (the Moscow, Kazan', Kiev, Khar'kov, Odessa, andTashkent Observatories) and the Belgrade Observatory. The measurementsand the treatment of the observational material were performed using therelative method, and the FK-4 system stars were used as reference stars.

An Einstein Observatory SAO-based catalog of B-type stars
About 4000 X-ray images obtained with the Einstein Observatory are usedto measure the 0.16-4.0 keV emission from 1545 B-type SAO stars fallingin the about 10 percent of the sky surveyed with the IPC. Seventy-fourdetected X-ray sources with B-type stars are identified, and it isestimated that no more than 15 can be misidentified. Upper limits to theX-ray emission of the remaining stars are presented. In addition tosummarizing the X-ray measurements and giving other relevant opticaldata, the present extensive catalog discusses the reduction process andanalyzes selection effects associated with both SAO catalog completenessand IPC target selection procedures. It is concluded that X-rayemission, at the level of Lx not less than 10 exp 30 ergs/s, is quitecommon in B stars of early spectral types (B0-B3), regardless ofluminosity class, but that emission, at the same level, becomes lesscommon, or nonexistent, in later B-type stars.

Catalogues of declinations and proper motions of 36 Belgrade zenith stars
Using observations made with the Belgrade zenith telescope in the period1960.0-1981.0, catalogs (in three systems) of the declination and propermotions in declination of 36 zenith stars were calculated for theequinox and epoch of 1970.0. Analyses show that, relatively, the mostaccurate are the system 1 declinations (BZS1 70). The declinationsystems of the present catalogs are in good agreement with thecorresponding FK4 system. But the system of proper motions indeclination is less comparable with the FK4 system. It follows that theBelgrade zenith telescope is capable of yielding star declinations withrelatively high precision (currently about 0.22 arcsec).

The S201 far-ultraviolet imaging survey. II - A field in Cygnus
Far-ultraviolet imagery of a region in Cygnus, a 20 deg diameter fieldcentered near (1950) R. A. 21 h 31.2 m decl. +37 deg 25 arcmin, wasobtained by the S201 far-ultraviolet camera during the Apollo 16mission. In a 10 minute exposure covering the 1250-1600 A wavelengthrange (effective wavelength 1400 A), 730 star images can be detected,corresponding to a limiting ultraviolet magnitude of about m (1400) =10. Assuming nominal interstellar extinction values in this region nearthe galactic plane, this result corresponds to the detection of A0 Vstars to a distance of 300 pc and of B0 V stars to 1500 pc.Uncertainties in spectral classification and interstellar extinction forindividual objects are probably more significant than calibration ormeasurement errors. Most of the objects detected are identified withstars in the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog (1966),or the Catalog of Stellar Identifications (1979) or both, but 87 objectsremain unidentified (or are identified with late-type stars).

Spectral classification of middle-type supergiants in the photographic infrared
A semiquantitative spectral classification scheme for middle-typesupergiant stars is presented which is wholly dependent on data in thenear infrared. The method involves the measurement of central depths asindicators of the strengths of the Paschen hydrogen lines 12 through 16,the Ca II infrared triplet and the 7774-A blend of O I, and was testedon slit spectrograms of previously classified stars of spectral types B8through G2. Results for the 142 stars considered are found to agree wellwith the MK spectral types determined previously, particularly inspectral types A5 through G0 and luminosity classes Ia through II.

A UBV light curve of Nova Cygni 1978
UBV observations of Nova Cygni 1978 obtained during the first threemonths after outburst are presented. Mean light and colour curves areconstructed and discussed. The most probable distance is 2.3 kpc,yielding a V magnitude of -6.8 m at maximum, which makes the novasomewhat underluminous for its fast development. The path of the nova inthe two-colour diagram is used to derive temperatures and radii forabout two months after outburst. The bolometric magnitude remainednearly constant for 8 d after visual maximum.

Interstellar reddening and distance of Nova Cygni 1978
Observations of Nova Cygni 1978 at 7699 A (a potassium line) are used toestimate the nova distance. The distance seems to be 3.3 plus or minus0.6 kpc with a corresponding absolute visual magnitude at maximum lightof approximately -7.5. The nova is classified as a fast galactic nova onthe basis of its absolute magnitude at maximum light and the rate ofdecline towards minimum light. The color excess deduced from theobservations is reported, application of the distance-reddening law tothe nova is explained, and a composite light curve is presented.

Correlations of the band at 2175 A with other interstellar features
Using published spectrophotometric and filter-photometric data from theOAO-2 and TD-1A satellites, equivalent widths of the ultraviolet 2175-Aband are determined for 194 stars. This list of data is used to studycorrelations between the 2175-A band and the diffuse 4430-A, 5780-A, and5797-A bands as well as the hydrogen column density and the equivalentwidth of the sodium D2 line.

The abundance of negative hydrogen in small hot interstellar clouds
The observed intensities of the diffuse interstellar absorption band at4430 A have minimum values, for given stellar distances, that areequivalent to the reddening caused by the small Ambarzumian-type cloudsstudied by Stromgren (1972). This indicates that there is no negativehydrogen present between these clouds, which are then identified withthe hot H I phase of interstellar matter. The equilibrium density of H-inside such clouds is calculated from mean densities of neutral hydrogenatoms and free electrons, derived from radio observations for the localregion outside the large Orion-arm clouds. The filling factor of thesmall clouds is taken to be the same as that preserved in the structureof the Gum Nebula from before its ionization. An electron temperature of3375 K corresponding to the local degree of ionization of thesmall-cloud hydrogen then leads to a mean density of negative hydrogenequal to 20 trillions per sq cm per kpc, in agreement with the observeddiffuse-band intensities.

Interstellar reddening and IR-excess of O and B stars
A mean law of interstellar reddening is established using two-colordiagrams based on B, V, R, I, J, K and L magnitudes of 350 O and Bstars. The law is valid for all directions of our Galaxy covered by theselected stars. The stars were selected from the work of Johnson (1965)and Lamla (1965) according to the following criteria: stars must havenormal spectra; no stars with anomalous continua; no close visualbinaries with small magnitude differences; no Be stars or stars withpeculiar spectra. The reddening constant R is derived to be 3.14 plus orminus 0.10. Only 20 of the stars studied were found above the determinedupper scattering limit, indicating an apparent infrared excess. Thesedeviations are explained as additive emission in the vicinity of thestars or as variations and anomalies of the intrinsic colors of thestars.

Wavelength dependence of interstellar polarization and ratio of total to selective extinction
A multichannel polarimeter-photometer which uses dichroic filters toseparate the (UBVR) spectral regions is described. The instrument wasused with a 24-inch rotatable tube telescope for polarimetricobservation of nearby stars. Polarization data for 364 nearby stars aretabulated, together with the wavelength dependence of linear andinterstellar polarization.
