Overview

In the rapidly developing field of high resolution astronomical imaging, there are strong parallels between the interferometric methods used at radio frequencies and in the optical/infrared, despite the differences in hardware. IAU Symposium 158 brought together workers from all wavebands, to discuss the science and art of 'Very High Angular Resolution Imaging'. As well as the latest techniques, a number of astronomical results from high resolution imaging were also presented. The proceedings of this Symposium will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in the field of high resolution astronomy.

The proceedings of the 158th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union, held at the U. of Sydney, Australia, January 1993, comprise invited and contributed papers in the areas of: radio/optical comparisons, transfer of techniques, imaging techniques, radio array instruments, optical and infrared interferometers and arrays, instrumentation and techniques, imaging theory, impact of technology--radio and millimeter waves/optical and infrared, adaptive optics and seeing, aperture distributions, imaging results--radio and millimeter waves/optical and infrared, astrometry, frontier techniques, and future prospects. Includes the text of a public lecture given by Nobel Laureate C.H. Townes on "Surprise and Sociology in Multi-Disciplinary Sciences." Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
