| Title | Chaos in Astronomy : Conference 2007 |
| Author(s) | Contopoulos, G;Patsis, P. A |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009. |
| Description | XXIV, 497 p. 189 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The conference "Chaos in Astronomy" was held in Athens on 17-20 Sep 2007. International leaders in the field addressed the topics Chaos in large N-body systems and in galactic dynamics Chaos in solar system dynamics Statistical mechanics of systems with regular and chaotic orbits Chaos in the formation of large-scale structure in the Universe Fundamental concepts, methods and tools. The book contains carefully edited refereed contributions. It serves as a reference to researchers and will give an overview to students and newcomers entering any field of dynamical astronomy |

| Title | Highlights of Astronomy : As Presented at the XVth General Assembly and the Extra Ordinary General Assembly of the I.A.U. 1973 |
| Author(s) | Contopoulos, G |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1974. |
| Description | IX, 574 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The year 1973 marked the highest peak of IAU activity up to now. Besides the Gen?? eral Assembly in Sydney, and the Extraordinary General Assembly in Poland, there were held eleven IAU Symposia and one Colloquium. Several IAU Publications cover this activity. The Proceedings of the Symposia are published in separate Volumes, while the Transactions of the General Assembly and of the Extraordinary General Assembly contain short reports of the Commission meetings, the administrative sessions, and the opening ceremonies. The present Volume covers some of the scientific Highlights of the General As?? sembly and of the Extraordinary General Assembly. It contains five Invited Dis?? courses given in Sydney and Poland, some selected papers, and the Joint Discussions at the General Assembly of Sydney. Of course, there were many more papers of special interest presented in Sydney that could not be included in this Volume. Their titles can be seen in the reports of the various Commissions. It is regrettable that the Invited Discourses of C. H. Townes (Interstellar Molecules) and F. J. Low (Infrared Astronomy) were not submitted for publication. Also only five papers or abstracts of the Joint Discussion on the 'Origins of the Moon and Satellites' have been available. Despite these minor shortcomings, I believe that the present Volume is faithful to its title: it gives a substantial part of the Highlights of Astronomy in 1973 |

| Title | Transactions of the International Astronomical Union : Proceedings of the Fifteenth General Assembly Sydney 1973 and Extraordinary General Assembly Poland 1973 |
| Author(s) | Contopoulos, G;Jappel, A |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1974. |
| Description | X, 334 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The three years since the Brighton General Assembly have been the most active period in the history of the Union. 33 IAU Symposia and Colloquia, the first Regional Meeting under the Auspices of the IAU, several co-sponsored Meetings and many other special projects. All this culminating with two General Assemblies in two opposite parts of the Earth, Australia and Poland. At the same time the membership of the Union rose to 3200, the number of Commissions to 40, the number of adhering countries to 47. The present Volume gives a general picture of the Union's recent activity. It contains the report of the Executive Committee, the report of the General Assembly, including the Commissions, Meetings, a short report on the Extraordinary General Assembly and an Appendix with the Members and Commissions of the IAU and the approved names of Lunar and Martian features. I take this opportunity to thank all our collaborators, members of the Executive Committee, Presidents of Commissions, Chairmen of Specific Projects, IAU Secrt;taries and all the Members of the IA U for their contribution to keep our Union a living body of active scientists and a big inter?? national family.

| Title | The Spiral Structure of Our Galaxy |
| Author(s) | Becker, W;Contopoulos, G |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1970. |
| Description | 486 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The idea of the organization of a Symposium on Spiral Structure came at a special meeting of Commission 33 on Spiral Structure during the 12th General Assembly of the IAU in Prague, 1967. So much interest was shown during this meeting that one of us proposed a special Symposium on the 'Spiral Structure of Our Galaxy' for 1969. The response was immediate and it was finally agreed upon holding the Symposium in Basel, a center of galactic research in the center of Europe. During the next months a special 'List of Problems', related to this Symposium, was sent to many prospective participants by the president of Commission 33. This stimulated an increase of interest in problems of galactic spiral structure and a con?? centrated effort on some problems. The organizing Committee of the Symposium was composed of Drs. L. Woltjer (president), W. Becker, A. Blaauw, B. J. Bok, G. Contopoulos, F. J. Kerr, C. C. Lin, S. W. McCuskey and S. B. Pikel'ner. Most of the work for the organization of the Symposium was carried by Dr. L. W oltjer. The Local Committee, composed of Drs. W. Becker, U. W. Steinlin, R. P. Fenkart, and G. A. Tammann, made every effort to secure the success of the Symposium. Most of the credit goes to Dr. Steinlin. The Symposium was supported financially by the IAU and by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The meetings took place at the University of Basel, which provided also secretarial help and many other facilities |

| Title | Galactic Dynamics and N-Body Simulations : Lectures Held at the Astrophysics School VI Organized by the European Astrophysics Doctoral Network (EADN) in Thessaloniki, Greece, 13???23 July 1993 |
| Author(s) | Contopoulos, G;Spyrou, N.K;Vlahos, L |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1994. |
| Description | XIV, 417 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book provides an in-depth coverage of modern research on dynamical systems. The first part discusses stellar dynamics, integrable systems, the transition to chaos and instabilities in stellar dynamics as well as the dynamics of spiral galaxies. Models are given and compared with observations. The second part is devoted to the direct method of N-body simulations, to gas dynamics simulations and to galaxy formation. Special care is taken to give to a pedagogical presentation of the material which makes this a unique text well suited for graduate courses in astrophysics |
