The observational time allocation and also a brief description of the equipment of the 1-m telescope, which is used either permanently or mainly on this telescope, are presented below. ...

... The initial descriptions of the FITS format provided a simplified method for describing the physical coordinate values of the image pixels, but deliberately did not specify any of the detailed conventions required to convey the complexities of actual image projections. ... They were CRPIX n for the reference pixel location on pixel axis n , CRVAL n for the coordinate value at that pixel, CDELT n for the increment at that pixel in the coordinate value, and CTYPE n for the type of coordinate. ...

Maxim KAZARYAN (Steklov Institute and IUM, Moscow): Hodge integrals and the tautological ring of the moduli space of curves . The cohomology ring of the (compactified) moduli spaces of algebraic curves has extremely complicated structure and there is no hope to get its complete description. It happens, however, that cohomology classes which are interesting from the point of view of applications form a relatively small subring of the whole cohomology ring and its description is much simpler. ...

We present a catalogue of galaxies for which spatially resolved data on their internal kinematics have been published; there is no apriori restriction regarding their morphological type. The catalogue lists the references to the articles where the data are published, as well as a coded description of these data: observed emission (E) or absorption (A) data, optical (O) or radio (R) data, velocity (V) or velocity dispersion (D), radial profile (1) or 2D field (2). ...
