... Speckle polarimeter (previosly known as Multimode Fast Camera MFC) is an instrument which will implement several observational methods of astronomy in visible (BVRI bands): speckle interferometry, polarimetry, speckle polarimetry (including polaroastrometry), and fast photometry. The speckle polarimeter will be installed in one of auxiliary Nasmyth ports of 2.5 m telescope of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. Speckle interferometry. ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...

. To continue the work mark the row with data on wonted plate by sliding bar and click first on Plate in menu bar and then on Object list or on Plot of plate in drop-down menu. The first choice will result in displaying the list of minor planets within the limits of the plate, the second one leads to displaying the image of the plate with objects. But in both cases user should specify the magnitude limit above which the objects are not inserted into the list and not displayed in the plot.
