Preface
Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts, which has appeared in semi-annual volumes since
1969, is devoted to the recording, summarizing and indexing of astronomical publications
throughout the world. It is prepared under the auspices of the International Astronomical
Union (according to a resolution adopted at the 14th General Assembly in 1970).
Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts aims to present a comprehensive documenta
tion of literature in all fields of astronomy and astrophysics. Every effort will be made to
ensure that the average time interval between the date of receipt of the original literature
and publication of the abstracts will not exceed eight months. This time interval is near to
that achieved by monthly abstracting journals, compared to which our system of accumu
lating abstracts for about six months offers the advantage of greater convenience for the
user.
Volume 32 contains literature published in 1982 and received before February 11,
1983; some older literature which was received late and which is not recorded in earlier
volumes is also included.
We acknowledge with thanks contributions to this volume by Dr. J. Bou~a, Prague,
who surveyed journals and publications in Czech and supplied us with abstracts in English.
We express our warmest thanks again to Ms. Helga Ballmann, Ms. Mona El-Choura,
Ms. Monika Kohl, Ms. Sylvia Matyssek and Ms. Angelika Me8mer for typing the text of
this volume on IBM 72 Composers, for compiling the pages from abstract slips in a perfect
form for offset reproduction, and for punching material for the author index and for the
subject index, which finally were printed with a TN chain on a 1403 IBM high-speed
printer. Finally, we have to thank Mr. Uwe Reichert and Mr. Roland Zanella who
supported our task by careful proofreading.
