Discovery of the Coolest Extreme Subdwarf
We report the discovery of LEHPM 2-59 as the coolest extreme M subdwarf(esdM) found to date. Optical and near-infrared spectroscopy demonstratethat this source is of later spectral type than the esdM7 APMPMJ0559-2903, with the presence of strong alkali lines (including Rb I),VO absorption at 7400 Å, and H2O absorption at 1.4μm. Current optical classification schemes yield a spectral type ofesdM8, making LEHPM 2-59 one of only two ultracool esdMs known. Thesubstantial space velocity of this object (Vgalactic~-180 kms-1) identifies it as a halo star. Spectral model fits to theoptical and near-infrared spectral data for this and four otherlate-type esdMs indicate that LEHPM 2-59 is the coolest esdM currentlyknown, with Teff=2800-3000 K and -1.5<~[M/H]<~-2.0.Comparison of Teff determinations for M dwarfs and esdMsbased on spectral model fits from this study and the literaturedemonstrate a divergence in Teff scales beyond spectral types~M5/esdM5, as large as 600-800 K by types M8/esdM8. While thisdivergence is likely an artifact of the underlying classificationscheme, it may lead to systematic errors in the derived properties ofintermediate metallicity subdwarfs. We comment on the future ofultracool subdwarf classification and suggest several ideas foraddressing shortcomings in current (largely extrapolated) schemes.

UvbyHbeta_ photometry of main sequence A type stars.
We present Stroemgren uvby and Hbeta_ photometry for a set of575 northern main sequence A type stars, most of them belonging to theHipparcos Input Catalogue, with V from 5mag to 10mag and with knownradial velocities. These observations enlarge the catalogue we began tocompile some years ago to more than 1500 stars. Our catalogue includeskinematic and astrophysical data for each star. Our future goal is toperform an accurate analysis of the kinematical behaviour of these starsin the solar neighbourhood.

A preliminary compilation of DS-programme star positions
A catalog is presented of the double-star-program (DS-program) starpositions, listing right ascensions for 930 DSs and declinations for1225 DSs of the program. The positions were compiled from the observedvalues obtained between 1980 and 1987 with the meridian circles of sixUSSR observatories (the Moscow, Kazan', Kiev, Khar'kov, Odessa, andTashkent Observatories) and the Belgrade Observatory. The measurementsand the treatment of the observational material were performed using therelative method, and the FK-4 system stars were used as reference stars.

The proper motions of Struve double stars
The proper motions of the components of 103 Struve double stars fromMuller's list of neglected stars and of 15 other systems were measuredrelative to sets of reference stars, for the primary purpose ofdistinguishing physical from optical pairs. A by-product of thisinvestigation is a list of measured position angles and distances ofthese objects, at two epochs each.
