The Dense Interstellar Medium in Galaxies
The Cologne-Bonn-Zermatt symposium is a well established series of conferences, occurring on a 5-year cycle, on the dense interstellar medium and related topics. The main results constitute valuable proceedings that offer everyone working in this field an authoritative and comprehensive source of reference.
CO: Twenty-Five Years of Millimeter-Wave Spectroscopy
Interstellar carbon monoxide (CO) was first detected in 1970 with the 36 foot diameter telescope of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory! on Kitt Peak in Southern Arizona. R. W. Wilson, K. B. Jefferts, and A. A. Penzias of Bell Labs reported, "We have found intense 2.6 mm line radiation 2 from nine Galactic sources which we attribute to carbon monoxide." Soon afterward, several other basic molecules were also observed in space. IAU Symposium 170, CO: Twenty Five Years of Millimeter Wave Spectroscopy, was organized to commemorate those discoveries. The Symposium reviewed the accomplishments of a quarter century of research on interstellar molec ular gas, surveyed the current state of mill...
The First Symposium on the Infrared Cirrus and Diffuse Interstellar Clouds
Annotation. Proceedings of the April, 1993 conference held in Tucson, Arizona. Some 77 contributions are organized under the following headings: absorption and scatterings in diffuse interstellar clouds; infrared spatial and spectral studies; molecular line and HI studies of interstellar clouds; cirrus in external galaxies; dust and organic matter in diffuse interstellar clouds; cloud chemistry; and cloud energetics and dynamics. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
The Physics and Chemistry of Interstellar Molecular Clouds
The book is an up-to-date, concise presentation of the development of submillimeter-wave and far-infrared astrophysics. The topics range from the large-scale atomic and molecular distribution in the Galaxy and in external galaxies to the frontal properties of molecular clouds and the details of the star-formation process. A chapter on the most recent technical advances in the field illustrates the intimate connection and interplay between scientific advancement and technological capability. The book not only summarizes the advances in the field but also presents important background information, addressing experts and graduate students alike.
Back to the Galaxy
The proceedings of the third October Astrophysics Conference represent a summary of the current state of knowledge of the large-scale properties of the Milky Way. Virtually all the new relevant data are presented, including those from the current space-borne observatories like the Cosmic Background
