Abstract:
The Key Program, a program for testing various indicators of the distance of the Centaurus group, is discussed. An accurate distance to the Centaurus group from various distance indicators will establish the most distant reliable milestone in the universe. An intercomparison of the results from Cepheids and other distance indicators (novae, globular clusters, planetary nebulae, and brightest stars) is obtained.

Abstract:
Improvements expected in radio astronomy systems, especially in spectral range - extension of the radio band to cover millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths and in angular resolution through VLBI - are examined. An array of telescopes for VLBI under construction in the U.S. is discussed. The possibility of space VLBI is explored.

Abstract:
The degree of efficiency with which stellar evolution models correspond to the real stars is examined. The binary test and the cluster test are discussed. The clusters IC 4651 and NGC 3680 are used as examples. It is argued that, if significant conclusions on stellar models or cluster age depend on the correct interpretation of minor features of a cluster CM diagram, careful star-by-star identification of nonmembers and binaries is essential. The binary evidence and cluster data show that convective overshooting does exist as an observable phenomenon in stars of these masses.

Abstract:
Attention is given to stars with lifetimes comparable to, or longer than, that of the Galaxy, with emphasis on those with higher surface gravities. A fractional history of radial velocities for stars included in the Bright Star Catalogue is given. A fractional histogram of heavy element abundance for the 1300 objects selected for the present study is provided.

Abstract:
Deep CCD imaging with B, V, and I broadband filters is performed to study dust patches, and with narrowband filters centered on the H-alpha + NII forbidden emission lines to derive the amount and distribution of extended ionized gas in NGC 5044 and its fellow radio elliptical galaxies. Low-resolution spectra are used to study the properties of the underlying stellar populations. High-resolution spectra in the wavelength region around H-alpha are used to determine the kinematics of the gas.

Abstract:
In order to investigate the properties of supermassive disk galaxies (SDGs), an extensive optical survey of SDG candidates in the Southern Hemisphere was performed with the 2.2-m ESO/MPI telescope at La Silla. The question of whether SDGs have in general an unusually high content of dark matter in the inner regions or, perhaps, an unusual stellar population is addressed. It is suggested that SDGs are formed as the result of a series of accretion events, possibly induced also by the progressive deepening of the galaxy potential well.

Abstract:
Two processes for the rapid and simultaneous optical and UV continuum variations in AGN/quasars are proposed. The variations are due to local instabilities in the inner part of the disk which produce small hot regions emitting mostly in the FUV but which contribute to the optical flux through the low energy tail of their spectrum. This results in a nearly perfect modulation of the UV and optical flux. Alternatively, the UV/optical variations could be due to irradiation of the disk by a central variable X-ray source.

New NTT discoveries on distant galaxies and gravitational lensing

Abstract:
Several results on distant galaxies obtained during five nights at the NTT in February 1990 are presented. The spectroscopic discovery of foreground galaxies close to the 3CR255 line of sight including the record spectroscopic identification of a galaxy with B of about 25 is reported. Deep spectroscopy of the high-z galaxy 3CR368 reveals that the brightest and central component is a Galactic M star. Direct imaging in several broadband filters of M1131 + 0456 identifies the lens and the lensed-distorted optical counterpart of the radio ring, while the physical nature of the lens and a possible redshift are tentatively derived from the spectroscopy.
