This conference covers an extremely broad range of topics and in just a few pages it is impossible to even touch on all the areas which will be discussed. We have chosen to summarise just one area where there has recently been impressive…
Recommendations of the VAO-Science Council following the meeting of March 26-27, 2010. Refer to the webpage http://www.aui.edu/vao.php
We summarize the latest correlation and fluctuation measurements derived from the RHIC Beam Energy Scan-II (BES-II) data, collected by the STAR experiment. We will focus on the recent results of higher-order net-proton cumulants…
I examine possible futures for UV astronomy, in view of the past history and collected knowledge of the UV sky through various missions since the early days of Space Astronomy. The last all-sky survey has been by TD-1 in the early 1970s,…
We summarise the current status of cosmic microwave background spectrum and anisotropy measurements, and their theoretical interpretation. This is the update of the mini-review for the 1997 web-version of the Review of Particle Properties.
More than twenty papers on the development of this model have been published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society from 2010 to the present. Whilst some contain work that is essential for the development of the model, others…
Talk presented at Strings '99 in Potsdam, Germany (July 19 - 24, 1999).
Pulsar timing observations have revealed companions to neutron stars that include other neutron stars, white dwarfs, main-sequence stars, and planets. We demonstrate that the correlated and apparently stochastic residual times of arrival…
A selection of astrometric catalogues are presented in three tables for respectively positions, proper motions and trigonometric parallaxes. The tables contain characteristics of each catalogue showing the evolution in optical astrometry,…
The IV Rencontres de Blois, on Particle Astrophysics, held at the Ch\^ateau de Blois, June 15-20, 1992, was a meeting well-timed for a reconsideration of the issues in particle astrophysics in the light of the COBE discovery of the cosmic…

A critical summary is given of the present status of the study of Bose-Einstein Correlations in W-pair production at LEP II. In particular, the evidence is reviewed for or against the existence of Bose-Einstein correlations between pions…
I offer brief observations on matters discussed at the XIV International Conference on Hadron Spectroscopy and explore prospects for hadron physics.
This mini-review provides a perspective on recent progress and emerging directions aimed at utilizing and controlling in-plane optical polarization, highlighting key application spaces where in-plane near-field tip responses have enabled…
Science opportunities and recommendations concerning optical/infrared polarimetry for the upcoming decade in the fields of planetary systems and star formation. Community-based White Paper to Astro2010 in response to the call for such…
The motivation for radio pulsar timing and its basic principles are reviewed. Present and future radio timing techniques and hardware are summarised and compared. The array of present timing programmes and their scientific goals are…
The contribution of an astrophysics group based in Milan to the science with the IUE satellite during its almost 20 years lifetime has focussed on high energy sources, of both galactic (LMXRB, HMXRB, and black hole candidates) and…
I review the theoretical motivation for the axion and present an update of the experimental status of axion searches. I finally comment on some aspects of the physics of axion-like particles.
We present a summary of the major contributions to the Special Session on Data Management held at the IAU General Assembly in Prague in 2006. While recent years have seen enormous improvements in access to astronomical data, and the Virtual…
