Abstract— Relative chemical abundances of 13 meteoroids were determined by averaging the composition radiating gas along fireball path that originated during their penetration into Earth's atmosphere. Mg, Fe, Ni, Cr, Mn, and Co abundances, relative to Si, are similar those reported for CI CM carbonaceous chondrites interplanetary dust particles. In contrast, Ca Ti in meteor spectra indicate these elements suffer incomplete evaporation processes. The all studied this work differs from 1P/Halley dust.

Context. Be stars are rapidly rotating with a circumstellar decretion disk. They usually undergo pressure and/or gravity pulsation modes excited by the κ-mechanism, i.e. an effect of opacity iron-peak elements in envelope star. In Milky Way, p-modes observed that hotter than or equal to B3 spectral type, while g-modes at B2 type and cooler.
We present multi-wavelength long-term monitoring observations of V635 Cas, the optical counterpart to transient X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+63. The evolution emission lines and photometric magnitudes indicates that Be star undergoes relatively fast (~) quasi-cyclic activity, losing reforming its circumstellar disc. show general optical, infrared behaviour can be explained by dynamical viscous disc around star. After each disc-loss episode, starts grows until it reaches radius at which resonant...
