KW Persei - a near-contact system?
An analysis of UBV photoelectric photometry for the eclipsing binary KWPer based on new observational data is presented. The light changes arenot only due to eclipses, but also to activity in the system. The U, Band V light curves are analyzed by the Binary Maker 2.0 andWilson-Devinney codes to derive the geometrical and physical parametersof the system. Since the O'Connell effect is present on the light curvesin the three colours, the unperturbed parts of the light curves areconsidered to represent the quiet stage of the system, in contrast tothe active stage which is represented by the perturbed parts of thelight curves. The discussion about the evolutionary status of the systemindicates that the secondary component of the binary system is anevolved star and the primary is a MS star.

| UBV photometry of stars whose positions are accurately known. II
The present report on the UBV observations of stars with favorableastrometric history gives attention to stars of the BD zones lyingbetween 50 and 54 deg. These observations and their reductions wereperformed from August 1983 to August 1984, as described by Oja (1984).Results are presented as tables for both the standard stars and theprogram stars. Comparisons are conducted between the present Vmagnitudes and those of the NPZT (1982) and AGK3R (1978) catalogs.
| The improvement of the star positions of the Potsdam PZT catalog
Regular determinations of the right ascension and declination of starswith the aid of a photographic zenith tube (PZT) were begun in ageodetic-astronomical observatory of the German Democratic Republic in1972. Results obtained during the years 1972 and 1973 were used for afirst improvement of stellar positions listed in the Third Catalog(Katalog) of the 'Astronomische Gesellschaft' (Astronomical Society)AGK3. The corrections resulted in a distinct improvement of the accuracyof the positional values. However, the possibility could not be excludedthat the results were still affected by remaining errors with systematiccharacteristics. In order to eliminate the considered deficiencies, newstellar coordinate corrections were computed on the basis of aconsiderably larger data set. The new catalog containing the reviseddata has been called PZT 80, while the data obtained on the basis of thefirst observations are listed in PZT 74. The new catalog is presented inthe appendix.
