This paper discusses the IAU Resolutions B1.3, B1.4, B1.5 and B1.9 (2000) that were adopted during the 24th General Assembly in Manchester, 2000 and provides details and explanations for these Resolutions. It is explained why they present…
A concise overview of the interesting recent developments in kaon phyiscs discussed at KAON 2007 is presented.
We provide a brief overview of some key issues that came out of the IAU 256 symposium on the Magellanic System (http://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/iaus256)
Technical reports on operations and features of the Pierre Auger Observatory, including ongoing and planned enhancements and the status of the future northern hemisphere portion of the Observatory. Contributions to the 31st International…
Brief summaries are given on the following subjects: Radial velocities and exoplanets (Toward Earth-mass planets; Retired A stars and their planets; Current status and prospects); Toward higher radial velocity precision; Radial velocities…
The Pulsar Monitoring in Argentina (PuMA) is a collaboration between the Argentine Institute for Radioastronomy (IAR) and the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) that since 2017 has been observing southern sky pulsars with high cadence…
Pulsar systems are very good experimental laboratories for the fundamental physics in extreme environments which cannot be achieved on ground. For example, the systems are under conditions of high magnetic field strength, large…
To answer the topical question we survey synoptically the recent literature in pulsation theory. We restrict the topics to research on roAp stars, EC 14026 variables, strange modes, luminous blue variables, pulsation-rotation coupling, and…
This is a review of some of the highlights of the 6th workshop on the physics of the tau lepton and its neutrino. This includes the test of lepton universality, measurement of Lorentz Structure, study of hadronic decays, direct evidence of…
Nearly 50 years ago, in the proceedings of the first IAU symposium on planetary nebulae, Lawrence H. Aller and Stanley J. Czyzak said that "the problem of determination of the chemical compositions of planetary and other gaseous nebulae…
Long-baseline interferometry at optical and near-infrared wavelengths is an emerging technology which is quickly becoming a useful tool to investigate stellar atmospheres and to compare observations with models. Stellar atmosphere models…
The existence of a secluded gauge sector could explain several puzzling astrophysical observations. This hypothesis can be tested at low energy e+e- colliders such as DAPHNE. Preliminary results obtained with KLOE data and perpectives for…
Measurements of azimuthal differences between forward di-pions are sensitive to the low-${\it x}$ gluon content of the proton and provide the best opportunity to probe for gluon saturation in nuclei. Previously reported analyses have shown…
I'm trying to summarize the science communicated via oral presentations and by posters at the IAU Symposium 287 "Cosmic Masers - from OH to H_0", which took place from January 29 to February 3, 2012 in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
The August 2010 edition of the AAO newsletter has been newly updated and renamed the AAO Observer as we become the Australian Astronomical Observatory. This edition contains articles on the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey, a bipolar Type I…
The Inclusive Astronomy (IA) conference series aims to create a safe space where community members can listen to the experiences of marginalized individuals in astronomy, discuss actions being taken to address inequities, and give…
The results of optical studies of Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs), their Pulsar-Wind Nebulae (PWNe) and Pulsar Bow Shocks are reviewed and discussed.
Recent years have seen dramatic progress in cosmology and particle astrophysics. So much so that anyone who dares to offer an overview would certainly risk him- or herself for being incomplete and biased at best, and even incorrect due to…
The question of what physical mechanisms shape planetary nebulae into their observed morphologies remains open. However, intensified efforts since the last meeting in this series, Asymmetrical Planetary Nebulae IV, in July 2007 have yielded…
New views on the diffuse interstellar bands are discussed. In particular results from DIB surveys and the study of near-infrared DIBs.
