The work on the kinematical parameters and spatial shape structure have been performed with Gaia DR2 astrometry data of the new recently southern discovered open clusters; UFMG 1, UFMG 2, and UFMG 3 in the vicinity (1.3 degrees radius) of the rarely studied NGC 5999. The apexes positions with AD-diagram method are computed for about 107, 168, 98, and 154 members of these star clusters, respectively, our calculated values of apex coordinates, seems like: (A, D) = (102.40 +/- 1.02 & -4.60 +/- 0.47; NGC 5999), (96.69 +/- 1.10 & -0.58 +/- 0.045; UFMG 1), (97.47 +/- 1.09 & 1.56 +/- 0.051; UFMG 2), and (98.65 +/- 1.12 & -0.26 +/- 0.060; UFMG 3). On the other hand, Velocity Ellipsoid Parameters VEPs for those are also computed; e.g. space velocities due to Galactic coordinates, dispersion velocities (sigma_1, sigma_2, sigma_3) due to matrix elements for all ij, projected distances (X_sun, Y_sun, Z_sun) on the plane disc, and the Solar elements (S_sun, l_A, b_A). According to an approximation of spatial and kinematical shape, UFMGs and NGC 5999 seem to have a spatial difference in their space locations but they appear to have formed in the same region of the Galactic disc. The total cumulative mass MC; including total number of main-sequence NMS and non-main-sequence Nnon-MS of these clusters also evaluated here with a second-order polynomial of mass-luminosity relation in order to get clusters tidal radii (pc). Finally, we concluded that NGC 5999, UFMG 1, and UFMG 2 are dynamically relaxed (i.e. tau >> 1), and the fourth one in non-relaxed.

The kinematical parameters, spatial shape and structure of the open cluster IC 2391 and the associated stellar stream are studied here using Gaia-DR2 (GDR2) astrometry data. The apex positions are determined for the open cluster IC 2391 (data taken from Cantat-Gaudin et al.) and for the kinematical streams stars mentioned in Montes et al. using both convergent point and AD-diagram methods. The values of apex coordinates identified. The results are in good agreement with the previously calculated values. The positions of the stars in the disk and the spatial dispersion velocities are determined. The paths of cluster and associated stream are traced in the disk by orbit calculation back in time to their places of formation. A possible genetic relationship between the cluster and the stream has been detected. The approximation of the spatial and kinematical shape of the stream and the cluster is made. According to this study, even though currently the cluster and the stream seem to have spatial difference in their locations but they appear to have formed in the same region of the Galactic disk.
We present a photometric and kinematical analysis of two and poorly studied open clusters; Koposov 12 (FSR 802) and Koposov 43 (FSR 848) by using cross-matched data from PPMXL and Gaia DR2 catalog. We use astrometric parameters to identify 285 and 310 cluster members for Koposov 12 and Koposov 43, respectively. Using the extracted member candidates and isochrone fitting to near-infrared (J, H, Ks) and Gaia DR2 bands (G, GBP, GRP), and Color Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs), we have estimated ages: log (age/yr) = 9.00 +/- 0.20 and 9.50 +/- 0.20, and distances d = 1850 +/- 43 pc and 2500 +/- 50 pc for Koposov 12 and Koposov 43, respectively, assuming Solar metallicity (Z=0.019). The estimated masses of the cluster derived using initial mass function and synthetic CMD are 364 +/- 19 M_sun and 352 +/- 19 M_sun. We have also computed their velocity ellipsoid parameters based on (3x3) matrix elements (mu_ij).
We present three newly discovered globular clusters (GCs) in the Local Group dwarf irregular NGC 6822. Two are luminous and compact, while the third is a very low luminosity diffuse cluster. We report the integrated optical photometry of the clusters, drawing on archival CFHT/Megacam data. The spatial positions of the new GCs are consistent with the linear alignment of the already-known clusters. The most luminous of the new GCs is also highly elliptical, which we speculate may be due to the low tidal field in its environment.
We present the results of spectroscopy campaigns for planetary nebula candidates, where we have identified four objects as Seyfert galaxies. All observations have been carried out by a group of French amateur astronomers. During the campaigns at the Cote dAzur observatory at Calern (France), four HII galaxies could be identified. Using the naming convention of our campaign, these objects are (1) App 1 (RA: 22h 49m 20.23s, DEC: +46{deg}07{arcmin}37.17{arcsec}), (2) Pre 21 (RA: 18h 04m 19.62s, DEC: +00{deg}08{arcmin}04.96{arcsec}), (3) Pre 24 (RA: 04h 25m 53.63s, DEC: +39{deg}49{arcmin}19.69{arcsec}), and (4) Ra 69 (RA: 19h 30m 23.64s, DEC: +37{deg}37{arcmin}06.58{arcsec}).
Besides the astrometric mission of the Gaia satellite, its repeated and high-precision measurements serve also as an all-sky photometric transient survey. The sudden brightenings of the sources are published as Gaia Photometric Science Alerts and are made publicly available allowing the community to photometrically and spectroscopically follow-up the object. The goal of this paper was to analyze the nature and derive the basic parameters of Gaia18aen, transient detected at the beginning of 2018. It coincides with the position of the emission line star WRAY 15-136. The brightening was classified as a nova? on the basis of subsequent spectroscopic observation. We have analyzed two spectra of Gaia18aen and collected the available photometry of the object covering the brightenings in 2018 and also the preceding and following periods of quiescence. Based on this observational data, we have derived the parameters of Gaia18aen and discussed the nature of the object. Gaia18aen is the first symbiotic star discovered by the Gaia satellite. The system is an S-type symbiotic star and consists of an M giant of a slightly super-solar metallicity, with Teff ~3500 K, a radius of ~230 R$odot$, and a high luminosity L ~7400 L$odot$. The hot component is a hot white dwarf. We tentatively determined the orbital period of the system ~487 days. The main outburst of Gaia18aen in 2018 was accompanied by a decrease in the temperature of the hot component. The first phase of the outburst was characterized by the high luminosity L ~27000 L$odot$, which remained constant for about three weeks after the optical maximum, later followed by the gradual decline of luminosity and increase of temperature. Several re-brightenings have been detected on the timescales of hundreds of days.
