Groups of Galaxies in the Nearby Universe
For every galaxy in the field or in clusters, there are about three galaxies in groups. The Milky Way itself resides in a group. Groups in the local universe offer the chance to study galaxies in environments characterized by strong interactions. In the cosmological context, groups trace large-scale structures better than clusters; the evolution of groups and clusters appears to be related. All these aspects of research are summarized in this book.

High Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy in Astronomy
Two specialized new instruments for ESO's VLT, VISIR and CRIRES, spawned the idea for this workshop. CRIRES is a dedicated very high resolution infrared spectrograph; VISIR features a high resolution spectroscopic mode. Together, the instruments combine the sensitivity of an 8m-telescope with the now well-established reliability of VLT-facility instruments. High resolution here means that lines in cool stellar atmospheres and HII-regions can be resolved. The astrophysical topics discussed in this rather specialized workshop range from the inner solar system to active galactic nuclei. There are many possibilities for new discoveries with these instruments, but the unique capability, which bec...

A Half Century of Stellar Pulsation Interpretations
Proceedings of a June 1997 conference, with sessions organized around unifying physics issues. Topics include connections between evolution and pulsation, linear theory of radial and nonradial pulsation, spectral and photometric variability, nonlinear pulsation theory, opacities and the equation of state, pulsation and convection interactions, new observing techniques, mass loss and envelope instabilities, driving mechanisms and mode selection, and helio- and asteroseismology.

The Impact of Large-scale Surveys on Pulsating Star Research
Annotation Papers from an August 1999 meeting are arranged in sections on the present and future of large-scale surveys, variability of high- luminosity stars, cepheids and RR Lyrae stars, the Blazhko phenomenon, theoretical models of classical pulsating stars, variables close to the main sequence, and pulsating white dwarfs and subdwarfs. Specific topics include nonradial modes in RR Lyrae stars, nonlinear pulsations of convective stellar models, oscillation of rapidly rotating stars, and instabilities in very massive stars.
