She has picked up speed while passing under the Bridge of the Americas which links de facto the Northern and Southern parts of the continent, and has headed resolutely towards the Pacific Ocean waters along the rows of boats of all kinds waiting to cross the Canal in the other direction.

At the same time, analysis of interaction between radiation and astrophysical plasmas under extreme conditions (strong magnetic fields of white dwarfs and neutron stars or strong gravitational fields in the vicinity of black holes) stimulates the development of plasma physics as a whole.

Proceedings of the 158th Colloquium of the International Astronomical Union, held at Keele, United Kingdom, June 26-30, 1995

A small country builds a world-class telescope in its backyard and lives happily ever after (or at least for a quarter century). Living happily in this context is a continuing record of discovery and as such also a continuing basis for se curing observing time on facilities in other countries and operating at other frequencies.

Jacobus Cornelius Kapteyn (1851-1922) of the University of Groningen was one of the foremost astronomers of his time, resulting in a leading role internationally of Dutch astronomy throughout the twentieth century.

Proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute Conference organized by the Department of Geophysics, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada, June 22-28, 1969

Data archiving has, for many years, been the most disregarded aspect of all data systems. Much of these data were and are not used on short timescales and (should) have been archived, where they can be used later and/or by others. At present there are a number of data collections and data retrieval systems.

Proceedings of the 123rd Colloquium of the International Astronomical Union, held in Greenbelt, Maryland, April 24-27, 1990

Space, whether interplanetary or interstellar, is filled with plasma or ionized gas. With this view, the Symposium ofPlasma Space Science was held at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Goddard Space Flight Center, June 11-14, 1963.

Proceedings of the Kona Symposium on Millimetre and Submillimetre Astronomy, held at Kona, Hawaii, October 3-6, 1988

Some 20 years after their discovery, how Brown Dwarfs form is still one of the main open questions in the theory of star formation.In this volume, the pioneers of Brown Dwarf research review the history of the theoretical prediction and the subsequent discovery of Brown Dwarfs.

Proceedings of the 113th Colloquium of the International Astronomical Union, held at Val Morin, Quebec Province, Canada, August 15-18, 1988

This book covers all aspects of opacity and equations of state for gases, plasmas and dust. The discussion emphasizes the continuous transformation of the equilibrium compositions of these phases as a function of temperature and density.

Proceedings of the 71st Colloquium of the International Astronomical Union held in Catania, Italy, August 10-13, 1982

Interest in statistical methodology is increasing so rapidly in the astronomical community that accessible introductory material in this area is long overdue.

Reorganising the research activities after the war was no minor under taking, specially because communications were interrupted for over five years and isolated continental Europe from overseas activities.
