Spectral classification of O-M stars on the basis of UBV photometry
A new technique allowing the Q-method to be used surely for both thespectral classification of young O-A0 stars and older spectralsubclasses A1-M5 is described. Characteristics of interstellar lightabsorption dependence on distance in the given direction of the sky isused as a main criterion for excluding possible multiplicity of starspectral estimates at some constant values of QUBV.Information on open cluster membership probabilities is also useful asadditional criterion of the spectral classification. The method wastested on stars up to V=14 mag in directions of young open clusters NGC2244 and NGC 2264. The spectral study based on UBV photometry wasextended to faint stars of NGC 2264 in the V magnitude range 17-22 mag.

The Einstein X-ray Observatory Catalog of O-type stars
A catalog of X-ray count rates for all O-type stars surveyed by theEinstein Observatory is presented. The procedures by which the IPC andHigh Resolution Imager rates are converted to emitted X-ray luminositiesare discussed in detail. The catalog contains 289 stars with 89detections and 176 upper bounds for the observed count rates. Precisepositions for 43 O-type stars are given whose previously known locationswere unknown or erroneous. It is argued that most O-type stars are X-raypoint sources, but some are possibly embedded in extended nebulae and/orbubbles. The X-ray spectra of O-type stars are discussed briefly, and itis argued that their mean spectrum can reasonably be taken as an 0.5 keVthermal bremsstrahlung model. It is argued that at least 30 percent ofall O-type stars are variable in X-rays.

Catalog of BV magnitudes and spectral classes of 6000 stars
The present catalog, compiled at the Abastumani Observatory, contains BVmagnitudes and spectral classes of about 6000 stars up to V(lim) = 13.0min five circular areas of 18 sq deg located near the salactic-equatorplane. The catalog is intended for star-statistics studies ofstar-formation regions.
