Description
The paper presents a new method for deriving stellar masses and distances using the theory of radiatively driven winds as presented by Kudritzki et al. (1989) and the stellar parameters derived from NLTE spectroscopic analysis. The procedure is illustrated with five stars observed in three open clusters. Comparison with evolutionary tracks indicates a possible discrepancy between the masses and helium abundances (when enhanced) derived from these tracks and those obtained by other methods.

    Primitive asteroids in the Main Belt possess one of the most pristine inventories of materials in the Solar System. Main Belt primitive asteroids are particularly interesting due to clear evidence of phyllosilicates, i.e., silicates that have encountered liquid water and undergone chemical alteration. Since asteroids are thought to be likely

    To warn about potential asteroid or comet impacts, we must first observe and discover these objects through dedicated NEO surveys. Most current and planned surveys are ground-based and use visible light, but they face limitations like weather dependency, limited sky visibility, difficulty detecting at low galactic latitudes, and inability to
