Description
2070 unique, homogeneous photometric and polarization observations of
the microquasar in a binary system with a black hole V404 Cyg/GS2023+338
obtained in 2015 with the MASTER global network of robotic telescopes
(16 robotic telescopes located at eight points on the Earth in Russia,
Spain, South Africa, and Argentina) are presented. MASTER was the first
telescope network to obtain optical observations of the microquasar
after its gamma-ray outburst in 2015. Observations were carried out from
18:34:09 UT on June 15, 2015 until December 2015 in four polarizations
and in the four standard BV RI filters. The paper presents the results
of these observations and a comparative analysis of optical and X-ray
data. The observations confirm the previously discovered super-long
delays of the optical radiation relative to the X-ray outbursts.
Possible mechanisms causing the delay in the optical variations relative
to the X-ray variations are discussed. Variability of the optical
polarization discovered earlier is confirmed another similar episode
reported.

Minor Bodies of the Solar System
This project studies the physical and compositional properties of the so-called minor bodies of the Solar System, that includes asteroids, icy objects, and comets. Of special interest are the trans-neptunian objects (TNOs), including those considered the most distant objects detected so far (Extreme-TNOs or ETNOs); the comets and the comet-asteroid
