Various topics in astronomy and astrophysics are addressed. The subjects discussed include: element segregation in stellar outer layers photospheric spectrum line asymmetries and wavelength shifts stellar populations in the Galaxy interaction between a magnetized plasma flow and a strongly magnetized celestial body with an ionized atmosphere planetary magnetospheres interstellar molecular hydrogen magnetic stars gas in the galactic halo dynamics of planetary rings millimeter and submillimeter wave receivers. Also considered are: spectra of cosmic X-ray sources high resolution imaging from the ground dynamics of elliptical galaxies and other spheroidal components extranuclear clues to the origin and evolution of activity in galaxies the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn high spatial resolution solar microwave observations molecular clouds in galaxies X-ray imaging observations of clusters of galaxies and the search for infrared protostars.
