Speckle Interferometry at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional. II
We present speckle interferometric measurements of binary stars madeduring June of 2009 with the 1.5 m telescope of the ObservatorioAstronómico Nacional at SPM (Mexico). The data contain 189position angle and separation measures of 144 systems. The measuredangular separations range from 0arcsec.16 to 3arcsec.64. The maximummagnitude of the brighter component is 10.96. The mean error inseparation is 0arcsec.02 and in the position angles 1.5°. Some ofthe position angles were determined with the usual 180° ambiguity.

2MASS Two-Color Interstellar Reddening Line in the Direction of the North America and Pelican Nebulae and the CYG OB2 Association
The slope of the interstellar reddening line in the J--H vs.H--Ks diagram of the 2MASS survey in the direction of theNorth America and Pelican nebulae, the L 935 dust cloud and the Cyg OB2association is determined. The MK types were either classified by C. J.Corbally or collected from the literature. The ratioEJ-H/EH-K_s = 2.0 is obtained by taking theaverage for the four groups of spectral classes: O3--B1, B2--B6,B7--B9.5 and red clump giants. The obtained ratio is among the largestvalues of EJ-H/EH-K_s determined till now.

Tycho-2 stars with infrared excess in the MSX Point Source Catalogue
Stars of all evolutionary phases have been found to have excess infraredemission due to the presence of circumstellar material. To identify suchstars, we have positionally correlated the infrared Mid-Course SpaceExperiment (MSX) Point Source Catalogue and the Tycho-2 opticalcatalogue. Near-mid-infrared colour criteria have been developed toselect infrared excess stars. The search yielded 1938 excess stars; overhalf (979) have never previously been detected by IRAS. The excess starswere found to be young objects such as Herbig Ae/Be and Be stars, andevolved objects such as OH/IR (infrared) and carbon stars. A number ofB-type excess stars were also discovered whose infrared colours couldnot be readily explained by known catalogued objects.

New Estimates of the Solar-Neighborhood Massive Star Birthrate and the Galactic Supernova Rate
The birthrate of stars of masses >=10 Msolar is estimatedfrom a sample of just over 400 O3-B2 dwarfs within 1.5 kpc of the Sunand the result extrapolated to estimate the Galactic supernova ratecontributed by such stars. The solar-neighborhood Galactic-plane massivestar birthrate is estimated at ~176 stars kpc-3Myr-1. On the basis of a model in which the Galactic stellardensity distribution comprises a ``disk+central hole'' like that of thedust infrared emission (as proposed by Drimmel and Spergel), theGalactic supernova rate is estimated at probably not less than ~1 normore than ~2 per century and the number of O3-B2 dwarfs within the solarcircle at ~200,000.

Catalog of Galactic OB Stars
An all-sky catalog of Galactic OB stars has been created by extendingthe Case-Hamburg Galactic plane luminous-stars surveys to include 5500additional objects drawn from the literature. This work brings the totalnumber of known or reasonably suspected OB stars to over 16,000.Companion databases of UBVβ photometry and MK classifications forthese objects include nearly 30,000 and 20,000 entries, respectively.

Two-colour photometry for 9473 components of close Hipparcos double and multiple stars
Using observations obtained with the Tycho instrument of the ESAHipparcos satellite, a two-colour photometry is produced for componentsof more than 7 000 Hipparcos double and multiple stars with angularseparations 0.1 to 2.5 arcsec. We publish 9473 components of 5173systems with separations above 0.3 arcsec. The majority of them did nothave Tycho photometry in the Hipparcos catalogue. The magnitudes arederived in the Tycho B_T and V_T passbands, similar to the Johnsonpassbands. Photometrically resolved components of the binaries withstatistically significant trigonometric parallaxes can be put on an HRdiagram, the majority of them for the first time. Based on observationsmade with the ESA Hipparcos satellite.

Interstellar Extinction Law in the Vicinity of the North America and Pelican Nebulae
The interstellar reddening law is derived for 15 heavily reddened starsin the area which includes the North America and Pelican nebulae and thedark cloud between them. The method is based on photometry of thesestars in the Vilnius seven-color system and on their MK spectral types.The mean law in this area is very similar to the law for a much widerarea in Cygnus derived earlier by other authors. It differs from thenormal law by exhibiting somewhat stronger extinction in the violet andthe near ultraviolet spectral region, i.e., it shows a smaller ``knee"in the blue part of the spectrum.

UBV beta Database for Case-Hamburg Northern and Southern Luminous Stars
A database of photoelectric UBV beta photometry for stars listed in theCase-Hamburg northern and southern Milky Way luminous stars surveys hasbeen compiled from the original research literature. Consisting of over16,000 observations of some 7300 stars from over 500 sources, thisdatabase constitutes the most complete compilation of such photometryavailable for intrinsically luminous stars around the Galactic plane.Over 5000 stars listed in the Case-Hamburg surveys still lackfundamental photometric data.

Extinction law survey based on UV ANS photometry
The paper presents an extensive survey of interstellar extinction curvesderived from the ANS photometric measurements of early type starsbelonging to our Galaxy. This survey is more extensive and deeper thanany other one, based on spectral data. The UV color excesses aredetermined with the aid of 'artificial standards', a new techniqueproposed by the authors which allows the special check of Sp/L match ofa target and the selected standard. The results indicate that extinctionlaw changes from place to place.

Interstellar extinction in the area of the North America and Pelican Nebulae complex
Interstellar extinction is investigated in the area including the NorthAmerica Nebula, the Pelican Nabula, the dark cloud separating both thenebulae, and the nearby area south of Alpha Cygni. Determination ofspectral classes, absolute magnitudes, and color excesses of 249 starsis based on their photometry in the Vilnius seven-color photometricsystem. The distance of the dark cloud is found to be 550 + or - 100 pc.The area west of the Pelican Nebula and south of Alpha Cygni iscomparatively transparent at least up to 700 pc.

The interstellar 217 NM band - A third catalogue of equivalent widths
A catalog of equivalent widths of the 217 nm interstellar absorptionband as well as other parameters characterizing the extinction curve inthe ultraviolet has been compiled for 790 O and B stars. A relativelytight correlation between the equivalent width of the 217 nm band andE(B-V) indicates that the absorber of this band is connected with thepopulation of larger interstellar grains responsible for the visualextinction. The parameter characterizing the amount of extinction in thefar UV is only weakly correlated with E(B-V), a result in accord withthe assumption that a second population of very small grains causes therapid increase of the far-UV extinction.

Catalog of O-B stars observed with Tokyo Meridian Circle
A catalog of the O-B stars, selected from 'Blaauw-Parenago' list andRubin's catalog, has been compiled on the FK4 system by the observationsmade with Gautier 8-inch Meridian Circle at the Tokyo AstronomicalObservatory during the period, 1971 to 1979. It contains 1059 stars andwas compiled for the future establishment of high precision propermotions of O-B stars.

A survey of interstellar neutral potassium. I - Abundances and physical conditions in clouds toward 188 early-type stars
Observations of interstellar absorption in the resonance doublet 7664,7698 A of neutral potassium toward 188 early-type stars at a spectralresolution of 8 km/s are reported. The 7664 A line is successfullyseparated from nearly coincident telluric O2 absorption for all but afew of the 165 stars for which K I absorption is detected, makingpossible an abundance analysis by the doublet ratio method. Therelationships between the potassium abundances and other atomicabundances, the abundance of molecular hydrogen, and interstellarreddening are investigated.
