| description: | In 2002: 1) The spectral observations of the program stars with the 1.5 m telescope at the Tartu Observatory and the Russian 6 m telescope. Photometric observations with the 0.6 m telescope. 2) Compilation of spectral atlases of representative objects for the spectral region 8500-8750 angstroms proposed for GAIA mission. 3) Experiments with the spectral resolutions proposed for GAIA in order to choose optimal ones for the radial velocity curves. 4) The studies of the possibilities for using WR stars as indicators of the extragalactic distances. 5) The spectroscopic studies of some nonvariable hydrogen deficient carbon stars (HdC) as background objects for FG Sge, Sakurai's object and R CrB stars. |
