XXXVI Polish Astronomical Society Meeting 2013
Proceedings of the Polish Astronomical Society Polskie Towarzystwo Astronomiczne wydaje serię wydawniczą "Proceedings of the Polish Astronomical Society" z materiałami z konferencji o tematyce astronomicznej. Artykuły są publikowane w języku angielskim, aby wydawnictwo miało zasięg międzynarodowy. Seria obejmuje w szczególności materiały ze Zjazdów Polskiego Towarzystwa Astronomicznego, które odbywają się co dwa lata i gromadzą większość polskich astronomów zawodowych, stanowiąc tym samym przegląd bieżącej tematyki badawczej krajowej astronomii. Tom 1 zawiera materiały z XXVII Zjazdu Polskiego Towarzystwa Astronomicznego, który odbył się w dniach 11-14.09.2013 r....
Polish astronomical facilities
Do you know where are astronomical observatories in Poland and which institutions conduct research in astronomy and astrophysics? Extensive catalog of astronomical institutes and facilities, as well as a map of observatories, telescopes and other interesting information about astronomy in Poland. Polish astronomy is proud of its long history and tradition dating back to Nicolaus Copernicus and Johannes Hevelius. It also has many achievements and outstanding scientists today. This publication presents major facilities dealing with astronomical research in Poland. Additionally, it provides a catalog of locations where one can study astronomy, a map of planetariums, as well as an index of scientific media and main amateur organizations. We hope that this publication will help anyone interested in establishing scientific and educational cooperation, assist young people in choosing the most interesting place for studying science, offer journalists contact with leading Polish astronomers and develop cooperation between scientific facilities and industry. In addition, it will present a current outline of scientific research in astronomy and astrophysics conducted in Poland.
Organizations and Strategies in Astronomy
I am most grateful to Andr ́ e Heck for his invitation to write a foreword to OSA Volume 4 – I will use this valued opportunity to emphasise those topics in Vol. 4 which I consider important even if other topics may be of even greater importance in the universal scale of things. At the outset let me say that I commend Vol. 4 to its readers – it contains much of very great interest for organisations and strategies in astronomy. A topic which I consider to be of very great importance at this time is Adverse Environmental Impact on Astronomy. There are two papers on this topic in OSA 4 – Cohen on Strategies for Protecting Radio Ast- nomy and Schwarz on Light Pollution Control. The growth in the extent of use, the power and spectral demand for radio transmission continues to increase virtually exponentially. The impact on the ‘listening’ services such as radio astronomy has been severe. Only by creativity in developing new techniques for radio noise (including legal transmissions) reduction and by participating fully in the allocation process for radio frequencies has radio astronomy developed to the powerful investigative tool it is today.
National Space Law in Poland
Poland has a long tradition of space-related research and activities, going back to the 15th-century astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. In the 21st century, the Polish space sector is building stable cooperation between science and industry, developing innovative technologies, and stimulating contacts and foreign cooperation, despite the government only devoting around 0.01 percent of Poland’s GDP to its space sector. This overview of the Polish space sector covers the heritage of space-related activities in Poland, present-day development of space law in Poland, and a review of present applications and regulations in both commercial and public applications.
