Report of the Committee of “Selected Areas”

Extract

At the IAU Prague meeting it was considered desirable to continue to report on work performed in the Kapteyn Selected Areas (below referred to as SA) and other similar fields, as those belonging to the Parenago, Shajn and Cleveland plans, cf. also the main report of Commission 33.

A more detailed version of the present Report, including references to published work, will be distributed to those specially interested.

At the Abastumani Observatory, Chuadze has determined photographic B and V magnitudes for 4000 stars in SA 25,48,50,73,75,97,99, and 122. Kalandadze has continued her work in Fields III and IV of the Parenago Plan and will publish a catalogue for about 8000 stars in Taurus; Metrevili will publish similar data (photographic UBV and spectral types) for 3000 stars. In co-operation with the Golosseievo Observatory a development of the Parenago Plan with photometric studies of regions centered at open clusters has been initiated; a catalogue of B and V magnitudes for 12000 stars by Voroshilov et al. has been published.
