For the first time high-resolution optical spectroscopy of the variable star V2324Cyg associated with the IR-source IRAS20572+4919 is made. More than 200 absorption features (mostly FeII, TiII, CrII, YII, BaII, and YII) are identified…
We have derived elemental abundances of a remarkable star, HD 179821, with unusual composition (e.g. [Na/Fe]=1.0$\pm$0.2 dex) and extra-ordinary spectral characteristics. Its metallicity at [Fe/H]=0.4 dex places it among the most metal-rich…
Some evidences of wind variability and velocity stratification in the extended atmosphere has been found in the spectra of the supergiant V340 Ser (=IRAS 17279$-$1119) taken at the 6-m BTA telescope with a spectral resolution R$\ge$60000.…
Over the five years of high-resolution spectroscopy of the cool star identified with the IR source IRAS20508+2011, the photospheric radial velocity variability Vr=15-30km/s is detected. In the same time, the Halpha profile varied from an…
The first high-resolution optical spectra of QY Sge are presented and discussed. Menzies & Whitelock (1988) on the basis of photometry and low-resolution spectra suggested that this G0I supergiant was obscured by dust and seen only by…
Based on high-resolution observations (R=60000 and 75000), we have studied the optical spectral variability of the star BD+48 1220 (IRAS05040+4820). We have measured the equivalent widths of numerous absorption lines of neutral atoms and…
Observations of the yellow hypergiant Rho Cas obtained in 2007-2011 in a wide wavelength region with spectral resolution about 60000 have enabled studies of features of its optical spectrum in detail and brought to light previously unknown…

Based on the data of spectral monitoring of the yellow hypergiant V509 Cas performed in 1996-2018 at the 6-m telescope with the spectral resolution of R$\ge$60 000, we studied in detail its kinematic state at various levels of extended…
High-resolution (R=60000) echelle spectroscopy of the post-AGB supergiant V5112 Sgr performed in 1996-2012 with the 6-m telescope BTA has revealed peculiarities of the star optical spectrum and has allowed the variability of the velocity…

We present an analysis of a high resolution (R~50,000) optical spectrum of the central region of the proto-planetary nebula CRL 2688. This object is thought to have recently moved off the AGB, and display abundance patterns of CNO and heavy…
For the first time, based on long-term spectral monitoring with high spectral resolution, the optical spectrum of the weak central star of the IR source RAFGL 5081 has been studied. The spectral type of this star is close to G5-8 II, and…

The properties of underluminous type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) of the 91bg subclass have yet to be theoretically understood. Here, we take a closer look at the structure of the dim SN Ia 2005bl. We infer the abundance and density profiles…
UVES spectra of the very young (~10^7 years) peculiar B-type star HR 6000 were analyzed in the near-UV and visual spectral regions (3050-9460 A) with the aim to extend to other spectral ranges the study made previously in the UV using IUE…
We present $\gtrsim 15,000$ metal-rich (${\rm [Fe/H]}>-0.2$dex) A and F stars whose surface abundances deviate strongly from Solar abundance ratios and cannot plausibly reflect their birth material composition. These stars are identified by…
High-dispersion time-resolved spectroscopy of the unique magnetic cataclysmic variable AE Aqr is presented. A radial velocity analysis of the absorption lines yields K_2 = 168.7+/- 1 km/s. Substantial deviations of the radial velocity curve…
