The programs of three-dimensional classification of stars using eight-color intermediate band photometric system are described. They include (1) investigation of interstellar reddening and absorption in the direction of objects significant from point of view of stellar evolution, (2) investigation of spatial distribution of stars of different spectral classes, luminosities and chemical composition, (3) the detection of unique objects.

The David Dunlap Observatory (DDO) intermediate-band photometric system described in the previous paper has been used to observe a number of red giant branch, horizontal branch, and asymptotic branch members in each of the five globular clusters M3, M5, M10, M13, and M92. A calibration of the DDO system is described by which it was possible to determine the effective temperatures, surface gravities, [Fe/H] values, and masses of the observed stars. The mean [Fe/H] values for the clusters were found to be −1.01 for M3, −0.68 for M5, −1.44 for M10, −1.69 for M13, and −1.96 for M92. Evidence was found that the masses of the horizontal branch and asymptotic branch stars are systematically smaller than those of red giant branch members. Two stars were discovered to have CN bands that are anomalously strong for Population II objects. The observational results have been compared with the theoretical predictions of two detailed Population II evolutionary tracks and in general the agreement is good.

AbstractSpectrophotometry data of 775 early type stars in a narrow band photometric system are analyzed, looking for the best parameters for a two dimensional spectral classification in the spectral region 3575 Å - 6000 Å. A correlation is established with the MK classification. The statistical technique of Principal Componant Analysis is applied to determine the number of linearly independent parameters among the data.

Temperatures, mass-loss rates and luminosities of 30 galactic Wolf-Rayet stars (24 WN, 6 WC) are derived by fitting the observed equivalent widths of He I λ5876 and He II λ5412 and the absolute visual magnitude. A three-dimensional grid (T*-R*-) of model calculations provides the theoretical values.The results are summarized in Figure 1. The different symbols denote the spectral classification of the individual stars, whereas four groups are distinguished: WNEA, WNE-B, WNL and WC stars. The size of the symbols indicates the mass-loss rates. The uncertainties of the results are estimated to be 0.1 dex in T*, 0.4 dex in and 0.5 dex in L. For the ll stars in common with the sample of Abbott et al. (1986) we find our mass-loss rates to be compatible with their radio flux if the correct ionization equilibrium in the radio emitting region is applied (Schmutz and Hamann, 1986). The model calculations show that for all but the WN2 and WN3 stars helium recombines to He+ before the ions enter the radio-emitting region.

The methods of spectral classification from the low dispersion ultraviolet spectra obtained with the S2/68 experiment in the TD1 satellite have been described. The bright stars, the spectra of which are photometrically accurate, can be divided into natural groups according to the spectral appearance of the features. These features vary in strength with spectral type and luminosity, and enable separation between main sequence and luminous stars. The limits for these stars areat BO toat AO. For fainter stars the spectral data have been combined to obtain narrow band magnitudes at several wavelengths. These photometric bands have an effective width of 100 A. An ultraviolet photometric system which enables determinations of spectral type and luminosity of early type stars is described and the results for about 3000 stars is presented. The photometric system considered here consists of the ultraviolet colour indices (m2740−V,) (m2190−V) and (m1490−V).

We have investigated the spectrograms (dispersion: 8Å/mm) in the photographic infrared region fromλ7500 toλ9000 of some carbon stars obtained by the coudé spectrograph of the 74-inch reflector attached to the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory. The names of the stars investigated are listed in Table 1.

Universals Archive (Universal #1926) indicates a universal tendency for sound symbolism in reference to the expression of diminutives and augmentatives. The research ( Štekauer et al. 2009 ) carried out on European languages has not proved the tendency at all. Therefore, our research was extended to cover three language families – Indo-European, Niger-Congo and Austronesian. A three-step analysis examining different aspects of phonetic symbolism was carried out on a core vocabulary of 35 lexical items. A research sample was selected out of 60 languages. The evaluative markers were analyzed according to both phonetic classification of vowels and consonants and Ultan's and Niewenhuis' conclusions on the dominance of palatal and post-alveolar consonants in diminutive markers. Finally, the data obtained in our sample languages was evaluated by means of a three-dimensional model illustrating the place of articulation of the individual segments.
