Scientific paper

Astronomical facilities at the high-altitude observatory Terskol in the Northern Caucasus include optical telescopes with diameters up to 2 m, their instrumentation (high-resolution spectrometers, high-speed photometers, CCDs, etc.), as well as provisions for data distribution via satellite and computer networks. The decades of successful research at Terskol have yielded new data and findings in the following areas of astronomy: discovery and monitoring of NEOs, precise astrometry and photometry of solar system bodies, high-resolution spectroscopy of interstellar clouds, search for optical afterglow of gamma ray bursts, etc. Facilities of the Terskol Observatory are heavily used for the operation of the Synchronous Network of distant Telescopes, which includes optical telescopes at Terskol and at observatories in Bulgaria, Greece, and Ukraine; the remarkable results were obtained especially from synchronous observations of galaxies and flare stars.
