On cellular-compact spaces.

As it was introduced by Tkachuk and Wilson in [7], a topological space X is cellular-compact if for any cellular, i.e. disjoint, family U of non-empty open subsets of X there is a compact subspace K ⊂ X such that K ∩ U ≠ ∅ for each U ∈ U . In this note we answer several questions raised in [7] by showing that any first countable cellular-compact T2-space is T3, and so its cardinality is at most c = 2 ω ; cov (M) > ω 1 implies that every first countable and separable cellular-compactT2-space is compact; if there is no S-space then any cellular-compact T3-space of countable spread is compact; M A ω 1 implies that every point of a compact T2-space of countable spread has a disjoint local π -base.
