... A non-standard approach to the interpretation of patrol green-line corona observations is presented The brightness distributions in the years 1964-1986 (cycles 20-21) combined into half-year interval: and three latitudinal zones, were analysed using the statistical method of principal components. has been determined that the variation of brightness distribution with cycle phase and latitude zom may be described by the so-called model of evolving distribution. ...

... For a semple of red giants comprising about 2000 stars, the distributions of metallicity [Fe/H] are given. ... The center of the distributions of giants in both galactic poles is found to demonstate a statisticaly significant gap similar to the one found earlier for the late main-sequence stars. The implications of the metallicity distribution properties for the problems of the chemical evolution of the galactic disk are discussed. ...

Abstract -- Calculations are performed for the linear polarization of starlight due to extinction by aligned dust grains when the starlight traverses a medium with irregular magnetic fields. This medium is intended to represent the optically thick components of interstellar clouds which are observed to make little, if any, contribution to the polarization of starlight. ...
