ABSTRACTt The Pulkov obaurvatoriya, (Pulkovo Qbaer,tatory) has made
fast-e-Apos-re photoi-raphs of the surface of the moon and
other plarieto by ai~ of an electror-optical convertei with
a fluorescent 35-mm-screen and an accclerating tension of
20,000 volts. The photograph is taken from the image of
this television setup. The brief time of exposure, which
is reduced bY 4 to 6 tinies as conpared with conventional
I
astronomic photography,
very much suitable for small
diameter telescopes and furnishes clear-cut pictures not
blurred by atmospheric disturbances. The number of stand-
ard television scanning lines, 625, prevents a reduction of
exposure time to 1/100 second, although thc. image proper
would be bright enough. In the Pulkovo Observatory, the
photographs were taken on a horizontal solar telescope in
the autumn of 1956

TITLE: The Tel,Dvision Method of Observing Deformations of Stellar Images
PERIODICAL; "Tr. Soveshchanlya po issled. mertsaniya zvezd", 1958, Moscow-Lenin-
grad, AN SSSR, 1959, pp. 239-246. Discus. pp. 250-256
TM- The author points out advantages of the photoelectric method for re-
cording deformations of stellar images; low inertness, rectilinear relation be.
tween the light flux on the photo-cathode of the light receiver and its photocur-
rent. A disadvantage of this method is impossibility of distinguishing between the
signals of image scintillation from its tremor. Moreover, the photocathode does
not respond to brightness variations but only to the variations of the light flux.
Thus the conventional photoelectric method of observation can not basically reflect
fully actual changes in the brightness distribution and the nature of stellar ima-
ge deformations. In the photographic method of recording, image tremor amplitudes

on the photoplate do not exceed tens or hundreds of microns. Recording of scintil-
lations is possible only in the region of low frequencies of variations In the
image brightness. All deformations of the Image can be recorded by -the photograph-
ic method, if the.object is sufficiently bright, stnee the plate responds to changes
of brightness and not of the light flux. The author points out employment of tele-
vision technique as light amplification, which can considerably increase the sen-
sitivity of the photographic observation method. In an experimental television
telescope, constructed at the Pulkovo Observatory in 1958, a sensitive transmitting
television tube of the superarthikon JL017 (LI17) type was used as a light receiver.
In 1958 experimental studies were conducted on photographing the Moon and bright
stars with an exposure of 1/50 see from the television receiver screen. Equivalent
focus, corresponding to the maximum scale of Image on the television screen (kine-
scope), amounts to 1,062 m (optical focus of the telescope is 125 m, electronic
image magnification is 8.5X. The optical diagram (Cassegrain type) of the tele-
scope Is presented. The telescope focus length can be varied within wide limitst
9.5; 18; 56, and 125 m. A special television camera with a LI17 tube is mounted
on the telescope installed in the temporary pavilion, The block-diagram of the

television telescope is presented. The output signal is amplified after the photo-
cathode LI17, Further images are fed to three television receivers: the Image is
photographed from one of them, the image quality is cheaked on the second onei, and
the third receiver is used for the checking of telescope focusing. The equipment
is provided with rectifiers and a voltage stabilizer. Television sets are prov1d-
ed with their own supply units and voltage stabilization units. The application
of a blook-synchronous electronic shutter makes it possible to photograph, with
an exposure of 1/50 see, the kinescope screen with a small camera at transmitting
only one frame of the Image. The block-diagram of the equipment of the television
telescope is shown, Several negatives of Images of their., Tau star (z - 440) are
presented with time intervals between individual frames of 10 - 15 see and between
individual photographs of about one hour. The optical focus of the telescope is
equal to 125 and 56 m. The diameter of the image on the television screen amounts
to 15 mm, which correspoads to the total equivalent focus of the telescope e"1
1,062 and 475 m. On photographs are recorded the instants of the formation of the
complicated structure of the star image with diameter d2 lesser than theoretical
one and the instants of the formation of a uniformly illuminated disk of the star

image with a diameter exceeding the d2 value. The author notes that at an exposure
of 1/50 see and a focus of 1,062 m, It is Impossible to photograph the Image of a
star by the usual method on a plate, because of the low sensitivity of photo emul-
sions. He notes also that deformations of stellar images are due to air turbulence
in the terrestrial atmosphere, but not due to local mechanical or other disturb-
ances. Figures characterizing light amplification produced by the television sys-
tem are cited. The author points out that sensitivity of the plates should be In-
creased by 5 to 10 times, at their equal exposures, to obtain the normal density
of the negative. He concludes that the application of cinema camera to photograph-
ing stellar images from the kinescope screen furnishes greater Information on their
heterogeneities than individual photographs taken with an ordinary camera. The
employment of photometric methods may furnish a sufficiently detailed picture of
Instantaneous diatributionceli3ht energy on the disk of the stellar image. There

A television telescope employing an infrared vidicon dimigned by N. L, Arteml-
yev was used to obtain infrared photos of the inoon in May-June 1962 at the
Pulkovo Observatory. The optical part of the telescope consisted of a con-
cave parabolic mirror with a diameter of 285 mm and focal length of 1.6 tn~
The TIM-1 optical filter, opaque to wavelengths from 0.4 to 0.8 ~L and
transparent to those greater than 0.8 g, was used. Images from the main
picture tube were photographed by a "Kiyev" camera on film with a sensi-
tivity of 45 -60 M C T units. Work is now in progress at Pulkovo to increase
the resolving power and sensitivity of the television tubes, as well as the
focal length of the television telescope. A block diagram of the apparatus is

".'A ABSTRACT: The first observations of the -lunar surface in the spectral region
0.8-2.3 microns with a television system are described. The infrared photographs
obtained in those experiments are compared with those obtained earlier by other
investigators in the visible region of the spectrum. The morits and shortcomings
of imago converters and various kinds of television and infrared apparatus are die-
cussed. With an increase in wavelength in the infrared region of the spectrum there
is an iLcrease of photograph contrast and now details are perceptible on the lunar
surface, never detected on ordinary photographs. It is postulated that the in-

Pulkovo Observatory during the period May-June 1962 using two types of camera tube:
a) a superorthicon with a cesium oxide'photocathode and a 3-mm IRS-1 filter, the
effective spectral region at the level of 5% of maxi-im sensitivity was approxi-
mately 0.8 to 1.14 microns, with a maxiolm at 0.8 micron; b) an'infrared vidicon
with a 3--mm IKS-1 filter; the spectral region at the level of 3% of the maximum
waa from 0.80 to 2.3 microns, with a maxi-am sensitivity at 7~', 1.2 micron (the
spectral characteristic curves are shown in Ikolosures). A Cassegrainian system
was used with the superorthicon. A series of photographs, comparing various'parts
of the lunar surface in the visible and infrared region''s, accompanies the text.

tral range at the Pulkovo Ob an~'Znfrared (IR)
jLervaLgry by means of i-
vidicon with a dilicon filter have been found to show a more decailed~
lunar surface structure than phoitos of the same areas taken by Kh. Iqi~
:Potter in the visual region at the Main Astronomical Observatory of
the Academy of Sciences SSSR. The surface structures of almost'all
the lunar sca3 as seen in IR are covered by a complex pattern of
.intersecting mountain ranges and crater chains. These features are I
not seen in photos taken In the visual region. 1R photography does-
not support the contention of a duat-covered lunar surface.. The

ABSTRACT i It is shown that refraction at a given wavolength-"chromatic refract2.on
depends ultimately on the standard air refractive index, The latter is not easily
measured., however., and determinations by different authors Vary widely, The
refraction of a given star depends on the energy distribution in its spectrum and
on tho spectral sensitivity of the radiation detector. It is beat to use isophotio
wavelengths, and these have been computed for a number of terperaturea,, along with
Bpectrophotometric gradientse The formula for conputing these gradients is given.
By knowing deviations in the gradients,. deviations in isophotic wavelengths may be
computedp hence the corresponding refractive index, and thus the chromatic ret,:aoti

Computations show a linear relationship between spectrophotometric gradient and
standard air refraction. Tables are given to show these variations and also to
provide corrections for the combined effect of selective absorption and atmospheric
dispersion and to indicate rate of change in length of the atmospheric spectrum
(in seconds of arc or millimeters per hour). Results show that differential
chromatic refraction my be signifimnt and should be considered in guiding long-wave
telescopes* Orig, art* hass 2 fig%wass 5 tables, and 8 formlas.

antibacterial action is markedly diminished in the presence of
blood serum.
The results of clinical tests justify the possibility of
the use of the sodium salt in surgery, gynecology; and also
in veterinary practice. It is permitted for release in medical
practice under the name of "sodiim salt of usainic acid."

ABSTRACT: The B elorussian Academy of Sciences was founded over 25
years agu. At present it comprises 14 institutes and 100
laboratories. As Be lorussiya has more than 2 million
hectares of peat bogs with billions of tons of peat, scien-
tists are concentrating on problems of complex utilization
of peat for the benefit tf the national economy of the Re-
public. The electric powir institute, for example, has de-
veloped products for the riconstruction of existing thermal
power plants in order ot achieve a technological utilization
of peat. The monograph "Peat Deposits in the Byelorussian
SSR11 contains the results of many years of research work per-
formed by the Peat Institute.

activity in the now Seven-Year Plan period. The solution
to 125 problems (60 of theae in cooperation with the AS's
of the USSR and other republics) has been taken up by the
Belorussian AS. The utilization of peat, melioration of
the Poleslye Depression (in cooperation with institutes of

ABSTRACT% The material for the present paper was collected by M. M.
Gollerbakh in the Antarctic in January-March 1957 within the
Continental Department of the Sovetskaya antarkticheskaya
ekBpeditsiya (Soviet Antarctic Expedition). The vegetation in
the Antarctic is very peculiar and mainly consists of algae~
lichens and moss. The living conditions of these plants are
also peculiar and extraordinarily hard. The clarification of
the degree of viability of thean plants and of the intensity of
their biological effect is therefore of considerable interest.
One of the simplest and most practical methods of determining
the biological total activity of th3 soil is the determination
of the ferments contained in it (Hofa 1, 2). The material was
Card 1/3 collected in the area of the pri,-icipal base of the mentioned

Some Data on the Biological Activity rf the SGV/20-126-lA-61/69
Subnoila, Soils and Lichens in the Eact Ant,?rotic
expedition - the Mirnyy settlement. In the samples of the sub-
soils and soils, the activity of the catalase and invertase
(method Ref 3) was determined in air-dry state. A considerable
activity of both ferments was ascertained in fine earths more
or less rich in algae (Table 1). These results lead to thfj
conclusion that the soil-forming procoBaos in the Antarotic are
only possible on the basia of oufficient accumulation of organic
substances, which are prenent in the excrements of seabirds. The
organic substances which produco the plants are insufficient
for this purpose because they are decomposed and weathered at a
faster rate than the accumulatior. process can supply them.
2 kinds of lichens were investigated for composition and
activity of ferments: Ifeuropogon antarcticus (DR;~ Savicz and
N. sulphureus (Koenig) Elenj,.(family of Usneacea from the
island of Khasuell. The ferment activity proved to be rather
considerable. Table 2 shows this for inter- and intracellular
ferments. The differences in activity must be attributed to
properties of peculiar kinds. Both kinds are very similar to
tho3e of the specles Ucnea in the north Df the USSR with
Card 2/3 respect to the presence of ferments, but the activity is higher

than there. Therefore, the conclusion can be made that the
li'chens investigated possess sufficient biological activity
under the most severe conditions of the Antarctic. Thioactivity
ensures a regular course of processes of life, the formation
and accumulation of the chemical substances peculiar to them.
Other investigations are necessary for further generalizations.
