| Title | Sources and Scintillations : Refraction and Scattering in Radio Astronomy IAU Colloquium 182 |

| Description | VII, 265 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The genesis of IAU Colloquium 182, 'Sources and scintillations: refraction and scattering in radio astronomy,' can be traced to the desire, on the one hand, of Beijing Astronomical Observatory radio astronomers to organize a conference which would highlight the need for high sensitivity - as a way ofpromoting their own project to build the world's largest telescope (FAST) - and to a suggestion from Ron Ekers on the other. During a discussion with the two SOC co-chairs (as they then were not) in January 1999 in Epping, Ron noted the success ofa meeting on 'radio seeing' in Beijing in 1989, and wondered whether the time might not be ripe to organize another conference devoted to radio propagation. This set the ball rolling, and with enthusiastic input from SOC members, a successful application was made to the IAU. Later, the URSI also agreed to co-sponsor the meeting. From April 17-21, 2000, over 80 astronomers from a dozen countries met in Guiyang, China, to discuss the latestexciting results and theoretical ideas on radio propagation through interstellar, intergalactic and interplanetary space. These pro?? ceedings include almost all (95%) ofthe oral presentations given at the conference. In addition to the 52 talks presented during 5 days of the Colloquium, Ron Ekers gave a fine summary at the end to tie things up. There were also poster sessions where some twenty papers were displayed. Besides the scientific sessions, the LOC had organized a program for spouses and otheraccompanying persons |

| Title | New Insights From Recent Studies in Historical Astronomy: Following in the Footsteps of F. Richard Stephenson : A Meeting to Honor F. Richard Stephenson on His 70th Birthday |
| Author(s) | Orchiston, Wayne;Green, David A;Strom, Richard |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. |
| Description | XXX, 350 p. 164 illus., 71 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book contains papers from a conference held to celebrate the 70th birthday of one of the world???s foremost astronomical historians, Professor F. Richard Stephenson, the latest recipient of the American Astronomical Society???s highest award for research in astronomical history, the LeRoy Doggett Prize. Reflecting Professor Stephenson???s extensive research portfolio, this book brings together under one cover papers on four different areas of scholarship: applied historical astronomy (which Stephenson founded); Islamic astronomy; Oriental astronomy; and amateur astronomy.?? These papers are penned by astronomers from Canada, China, England, France, Georgia, Iran, Japan, Lebanon, the Netherlands, Portugal, Thailand and the USA.??Its diverse coverage represents a??wide cross-section of the history of astronomy community. ??Under??discussion are??ways in which recent research using historical data has provided new insights into auroral and solar activity, supernovae and changes in the rotation rate of the Earth. It also presents readers with results of recent research on leading historical figures in Islamic and Oriental astronomy, and aspects of eighteenth and nineteenth century Australian, British, German and Portuguese amateur astronomy, including the fascinating ???amateur-turned-professional syndrome??? |
