'Light on Dark Matter', held from 10-14 June 1985 in the Dutch seaside resort of Noordwijk, was the first international conference devoted to the results of the all-sky survey by the US-Dutch-UK Infra-Red Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). As such, it was a hommage to the scientists, engineers and technicians who conceived, built and operated this extremely successful satellite. That this was generally felt to be the case, was proven by the large number of participants (over 200 from seventeen different nations), the li vely discussions, and the great variety of topics presented during the meeting. All this not withstanding a typical Dutch summer: gale-force winds, heavy cloud cover, and meter-h...
Progress towards an understanding of the dynamics and interactions of galaxies has been spurred on more than ever by a wealth of new observations and numerical experiments. The Heidelberg Conference 1989, the papers of which are collected in this volume, was extremely successful in presenting a synoptic view of the field in all its aspects: galaxy interactions in the early universe and in recent times, interactions of our galaxy and its neighbours, dynamical problems of elliptical and disk galaxies, groups and clusters, starburst and nuclear activity triggered by interactions, merger scenarios, and numerical experiments. Researchers and graduate students, specialists or not, will find here a complete overview of a rapidly growing field of astronomy.
Gas dynamical effects govern the physics of many objects in the Universe ranging in scale from the intergalactic to the circumstellar. This book gives an up-to-date survey of the latest findings and theories from acknowledged experts in this particular field of astrophysics. Cosmical Gas Dynamics includes papers on the following subjects: -- shock waves caused by supernova explosions -- jets and maser sources -- the effects of gravitational fields on interstellar gas -- flow patterns determining where star formation will occur -- the remnant of the nova Rho Ophiuchi which exploded on 26 January 1985
