In his report V.A. Ambartsumiyan gave interesting details on this relatively new branch of science. Observations proved the assumption that stellar fogs are not evenly dia- tributed; there are dense parts and accumulations which may be called "light cloud formations". In spite of this, theoretical research is based upon the assumption that the distribution of luminescent cosmic fog is of uniform character. The reviewer further remarked that already now there is no doubt that an expansion of the universe exists. Another reviewer contributed. interesting observation results with respect to spiral fogs. The assumption hitherto held that the spiral fog t&il3 are rotating solar system is said to have been disproved. Card 1/2 30-8-24/37 On Outergalactic AstronomLy and Cosmology A.L. Zelmanova gave a report on the relativity theory of the anisotropic heterogeneity of the universe. Some reviewers dealt with the problems of the thermodynamics of the universe and a discussion took place on the ao-oalled fluctuation hypothesis. In omolusion a discussion on general problems of cosmology took place. AVAILABLE: Library of Congress Card 212 AUTHORi Masevioh, A. G. 30-11-23/23 TITLE: The Problem of Cosmic Gaudynamics.

Representatives of astronomy , physics and mechanics met in Cambridge (Kembridzho), USA; this was the third international symposium devoted to problems of cosmic aerodynamics. The report by the Dut-.hman Van der Kholet (ob- servations of the radioemission on the 21 oz wave) caused great interest. G.

Much attention in reports and dis- cussions was paid to the problem of the dissipation of energy. Kh. Petchek (USA), L. Jirman and 1. Shlyuter (German Federal Republic - FRG) talked on this topic. So&* speakers dealt with the nature of the magnetic field of the spiral extensions of the galactic system. Very great attention was paid by the conference to the problem of the gao-oorona and of the forma- tion of the radio-radiation (B.B. Pikellner). V.A. kmbartsumyan talked an the genetic connection of young stars with the di- ffuse environment. By means of observations made he rejected the hitherto existing assumptions with regard to the formation of the stars from an interastral substance.

ABSTRACT: The H - R diagram for the nucleus and the surrounding association of the double cluster of 14 and h Per show marked differences. Fig.1 shows the H-R diagram for the nucleus of the above double cluster and Fig.2 the H - R diagram for the association of the double cluster. (0 - stars uf the main sequence, 0 - weak supergiants, 0 - bright super ants. From the data of Johnson and Hiltner (1~). The diagram for the nucleus is similar to the usual diagram for a cluster of an early spectral ty-pe. The characteristic difference between this diagram and the diagram for the association (Fig.2) is the presence in the latter of stars of the main sequence of the earliest spectral tY'Pes (05 - BO), which lie on the undeviated (primary) upper branch of the main sequence. A further difference is in the interval between the primary branch and the branches deviated from it. The disposition of the supergiants in Fig.2 is reminiscent 499 The evolution of stars in the and h Per cluster. (Cont.) of the evolutionary curves of gravitauionally contracting stars (2). This is further emphasized by the presence in Fig.2 of a few 0 - stars situated under the main sequence. For massive stars, such as the supergiants considered here, such an evolution take place very quickly (in any case a time less than 109 years is required). A comparative study of the H - R diagram of the double cluster leads to the conclusion that the age of the nucleus and the association is roughly the same, but while in the association the process of star-formation continues, it has ceased altogether in the nucleus. The deviation of the brightest stars in clusters from the mean line of the main sequence is usually taken to be the result of the evolution of these stars when heterogeneity in the chemical composition first begins as a result of the absence of intermixing of matter between the radiant envelope and convective nucleus (3, 4). The so-called "primary" main sequence can be found theoretically in two ways. The first method (evolution of stars occurs at constant mass with no intermixing) was given by Johnson and Hiltner (1 and 5). The primary theoretical main sequence as calculated by them is 499 The evolution of stars in the % and h Per cluster. (Cont.) shown in Fig.3 (dashed line). The second method was used by the present author and is described in Refs. 3 and 6. The full line of Fig.3 shows the result of these calculations (absorption law: chemical composition corresponding to that of the sun; energy source: the hydrogen-nitrogen cycle). The results of calculation of evolutionary curves (no intermixing; variable mass) are given in the table on p.180. (Nucleus: first line of numbers. Association: last two lines. First column shows the star under consideration). Further details are given in Ref.8. As can be seen the age t is higher by one order for the nucleus. The above conclusions are in agreement with Oort's theory (11) on the formation of expanding 0 - associations. It is argued that Wnch's paper on the age of early type supergiants leaves out at least one important considera- tion. A star of the main sequence can only change into a bright giant of an early spectral type if in it intermixing does not take place, i.e. hydrogen burns out only in the convective nucleus which includes about 0.1 of the mass of the star. A sta having the mass 20 M will reach this stage in , 2 x 109 years. After this, Q 499 The evolution of stars in the )C and h Per cluster. (cont.) the "peaceful" evolution of the star ends and it either undergoes a catastrophe or,if its development continues with a contracting nucleus,it will become a red giant. In either case the result will not be a supergiant of an early type. In order that the stars considered by Munch (12) should have an age of,-v 2 x 10 years their mass Ym, t be of the order of 200 Z 300 M . It is suggested that th9 supergiants coAidered by 11unch have an age -'vlO years, but they were f ormed not in the galactic plane but at larger latitudes. 3 figures, 1 table, 12 references, 4 of which are Russian.

ABSTRACT: Representatives of astronomical, physical and philosophical institutions in Moscow and other towns were present. V. A. Ambartsumyan noted that not enough attention was given in the U.S.S.R. to the problems of cosmology while a large number of papers has appeared in this field in other countries. He suggested a series of problem that could be tackled. A, L. El'manov also noted insufficient attention paid in the U.S.S.R. to non-relativistic cosmology. In the exposition of a whole series of cosmological aspects, in particular, those that have ideological implications, it is necessary to exclude simplifications and dogmatism. Possible fields of research (origin of chemical elements, radioastronomy, applications of thermodynamics and statistical physics etc.) were suggested by other members. A conference is to be called in 1957 on the problems of cosmogony. It will be devoted to extragalactic astronomy and cosmology.

There aiv two Slavic references. AUTHOR'S REPLY Nikolskiy's article is based on a mimind rstanding. It is well known that in all the possible cases of evolution of stars at constant mass, the luminosity and the radius of the star increase. Since the mass is constant, it follows that, after a time, the star ceases to obey the mass-biminosity and tbE; mass- radius relations characteristic of the main sequence and hence 'leaves' the latter. This was considered in detail in (2) and (3) and is not, arid cannot be, a consequence of eq. (2) in NikolskJqts note. It is su:rprising that Nikolskiy should quote (2) since this work, although printed, has not been issued and is still being stored by the publishers. Conversely, the result obtained in a discussion of evolution at constant mass in U without the transposition of the limits of integration in (1i is treated (perhaps not very successfully) simply as a 33-3-2T/32 Comments by NikoYskiy on the paper by A.G.

The choice between the two alternative evolutionary hypo- theOdS using the luminosity function is based in (1) not on the of n but on its magnitude ( n is the number of stars �!e~g formed and is necessarily positive).

ABSTRACT: A detailed calculation using thf, stellar model bi A~5 a_ 3.5 convective nucleus and the absorption law K = K fp , T has been carried out by one of the present auth8rs in ReZ. I and 2. PoE;sible ways of developing this model in the case of homogeneous and inhomogeneous chemical composi- tion were considemd in application to stars of the main sequence. In the present work the possibility of an application of such a model to the problem of structure and evolution of stars of other sequences in Russell's dia ram is considered. The authors start with a model ha:fng the same chemical composition in both the shell and the convective nucleus. The carbon cyclic reaction n is taken as the source of enerEj, according to e = F_ XZ IV T The continuous evolution (as a result of gradual trRnsform- Card 1/4 ation of hydro6en into helium) of such a model is considered 33-5-6/12.

Using the notation of References 1 and 2 the relation between the luminosity I, and the stellar mass Mi is written in the form My Figure 1 shows the calculated dependence of lgi,l on lgRl for different values of y where H 1 is the relative radius. The relation between these two quantities is linear. An analysis is given of the effect of different parameters on the form of evolutionary curves. Various possible law5 of change of mass am considered (different Y in Ref. 5). In each of the models there is a limiting value of y which depends on the form of the law of formation of energy but is almost independent of tile model iteelf. Within the limits of each possible y there are certain xia" values of M and R the absolute magnitude of which depends on the acce?ted moael. It is shown that the theoretical curve corresponding to y = 3.9 represents the main sequence quite well. Using other values of y one obtains evolutionary sequences which do not correspond to Card 2/4 real stellar sequences for which the mass is a function 33-5-)-6/1'1 An Investigation of Evolutionary Sequences of Homogeneous Stellar Models with a Convective Nucleus. of both the luminosity and radius. In the case of Y = 3.9 both Ad and R reach their maximum values at the same value 8f Z, w8ere Z is the content of elements heavier than helium. Using results obtained for y # 3.9 it is shown that the structure and evolution of a sub-dwarfs caz be explained by the present model if one assumes that the amount of heavy elements In them is about 20 times less than in stars of the main sequence. fheoretically possible masses of such stars are comparable with the masses of real sub-dwarfs. On the other hand sub-giants can be explained on this model if one assumes that the amount of heavy elements in this e;roup is four to five times higher than in the stars of the main sequence. This is in agreement with results obtained earlier (Ref. 5).

Two "optical barriers", each consisting of about 30 tele- scopes, were established to facilitate the observation of Batellltv3 having a low brightness and moving on the sky with a velocity of 10 per I sec, if the orbit Is known only approximately, The barriers are located on the meridian and along a vertical circle perpendicular to the viss-ible orb!-t. of the satellite. The sight lines of the telescopes are adjusted in such a way that each section of the optical barrier is covered twice. For determining the time of passage of a satellite with an accuracy exceeding I sec, th& time signals and the signals given by the observer at the time when the sat.elittte passed, are recorded on tape. After the termination of the observations, th~ tape recording is reproduced at a low speed and the precise moment of passage is determined by a chronoscope. The coordinates of the satellite ar-9 deter- mined by the sidereal maps of A.A. Mikhaylov's atlas or of A.

The Council of Astronomy discussed the problem of using light flashes of short duration on the object for a precise determina-~ion of a satellite's position. The position of a satellite may be determined with an acr,uracy of 2 - 3 see of are when using cameras with a long focal length (F - -1 m) for photographing the satellite, UsIngthe data of Ihese ob- servations for triangulation%vo-n the earth's surface, the distance between different points (especially between continents) and also the shape of tine geold may be determined with an accuracy of 10 m. However, the photography of satellites is made difficult by the following circumstances, 1) the ob- servations are possible only at dusk; 2) cameras with a very great. light power are required; 3) the setting of precise time marks is complicated, These difficulties can be overcome If the satellite is equipped with a light source producing brief flashes by which it may be photographed at night. It is expedient to provide series of flashes and not a continuous feed, taking into consideration that at least two or three flashes must arrive In the field of view of the instrument, In this way it is possible to determine not only the position but also the angular velocity of a satellll~e. otvlou~_ly, Card 4/6 8079h 30V/i69-59-6-6375 The OpticAl Observations of Artificial Earth Satellites a pulse gas discharge lamp should be used as a llgh"~ sc r:e, whose Ignt output reaches 60 lnVvs. The brightness of a satellitel depends or. ~.he following reasons; 1) changes in the satellite's phases, i e in the Gonfl,guration sun - satellite - observer; 2) changes in the distance the observer; 3) light absorption in the section of its path from tlh- satellite to the observer; 4) rotation and-tumbIlrigQ(f a satellite, 5) changes in the state of the satellite's surface, The determinallon of the period of rotation (tumbling) of the satellite's body and ohanges of period in time are of the greatest interest, Another important pr,-.~t-`err is the investigation of the dependence of the brightness and :o1or of a satellite on the state of the earth's atmosphere.
