This publication contains the conference summary of the Understanding Lyman-alpha Emitters conference held at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg October 6 - 10, 2008. The scope of the conference was to bring together most…
The Programme and Abstracts booklet of the sixth Conference on "Physics of Neutron Stars" held at the Ioffe Physical Technical Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia, on June 6 -- 8, 2001 is presented. The abstracts contain references to the web…
The advent of the Spitzer Space Telescope has revolutionized our understanding of the history of star formation and galaxy mass assembly in the Universe. The tremendous leap in sensitivity from previous mid-to-far IR missions has allowed…
This contribution contains the introductory historical remarks that I presented at IAU Symposium 270 on "Computational Star Formation" held in Barcelona, Spain, May 31 - June 4, 2010. I give a personal view of some of the early histoy of…
This is one chapter of the summary paper of the IAU Special Session SpS8 "Calibration of star-formation rate measurements across the electromagnetic spectrum", Beijing, China, August 2012.
The advent of 8m-class telescopes has made galaxies at 1 < z < 4 relatively easy to detect and study. This is a brief and incomplete review of some of the recent results to emerge from surveys at these redshifts. After describing different…
When did galaxies start forming stars? What is the role of distant galaxies in galaxy formation models and the epoch of reionization? What are the conditions in typical star-forming galaxies at redshifts >~4? Why is galaxy evolution…
We give here the Table of Contents page for the Proceedings of "Planetary Systems beyond the Main Sequence", held in August 2010 at Bamberg, Germany. This conference was the first to discuss the fate of a planet and its host star when the…
The goal of searching back in cosmic time to find star formation during the epoch of reionization will soon be within reach. We assess the detectability of high-redshift galaxies by combining cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy…
Molecules and dust are formed in and around the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and supernovae (SNe), and are ejected into the interstellar medium (ISM) through the stellar wind. The dust and gas contain elements newly synthesised in…
We report on the status of large surveys of photometrically selected star forming galaxies at z~3 and z~4, with particular emphasis on both the advantages and the limitations of selecting objects using the ``Lyman break'' technique. Current…
With the new discoveries enabled thanks to the recent space missions, stellar physics is going through a revolution. However, these discoveries opened the door to many new questions that require more observations. The European Space…
These are the Proceedings of IAU Symposium 291, held 20-24 August 2012, in Beijing, China.
The discovery of the interstellar medium and the early work of Lyman Spitzer, Jr. are reviewed here in the context of the remarkable observation in the early 1950's that star formation continues in the present age. Prior to this…
The IX Russian-Finnish Symposium on Radio Astronomy was held in Special astrophysical observatory RAS in Nizhnij Arkhyz, Russia on 15-20 October 2006. It was dedicated to the two-side collaboration in the field of multi-wavelength…
We summarize the Focus Meeting (FM10) "Nano Dust in Space and Astrophysics" held in Vienna, Austria on 28-29 August 2018 during the 30th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The theme of this focus meeting is…
Some pairs of neutron star models can intuitively be thought of as being `closer' together than others, in the sense that more precise observations might be required to distinguish between them than would be necessary for other pairs. In…
(Abridged) In these lectures aimed for non-specialists, I review progress in understanding how galaxies form and evolve. Both the star formation history and assembly of stellar mass can be empirically traced from redshifts z~6 to the…
We summarize the progress to date of our Legacy Science Program entitled "The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems" (FEPS) based on observations obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope during its first year of operation. In…
