Proceedings of the third European Astronomical Meeting, "Stars and Galaxies from Observational Point of View"

The papers deal with observational aspects of various problems concerning the structure and evolution of stars and galaxies. Topics include an analysis of stellar UV spectrograms obtained aboard the Orion 2 space observatory, preliminary data obtained with a five-channel photometer aboard the ANS satellite, stellar spectral classification based on UV spectrograms, a survey of mass-loss effects in UV spectra of early-type stars, some problems of supernova statistics and physics, the atmospheric chemical composition of various types of peculiar stars, and a survey of observational data on T Tauri stars, Herbig-Haro objects, flare stars, and FU Ori stars. Other contributions discuss activity in galactic nuclei that affects the large-scale properties and structure of galaxies, large-scale structure and recent star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud, characteristics of several Seyfert galaxies, the magnitude-redshift relation in systems of galaxies, radio and X-ray observations of clusters of galaxies, missing mass in and around galaxies, and the rate of star formation in the Galaxy.
