Preface
Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts aims to present a comprehensive documen
tation of the literature concerning all aspects of astronomy, astrophysics, and their
neighbouring fields. It is devoted to the recording, summarizing, and indexing of
the relevant publications throughout the world. Astronomy and Astrophysics Ab
stracts is prepared by a special department of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut
in close cooperation with the FachinJormationszentrum Karlsruhe. The work is
done under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union.
Volume 54 records literature published in 1991 and received before 30 April 1992.
Some older documents which we received late and which are not surveyed in earlier
volumes are included too. The input work was shared between the Fachinforma
tionszentrum Karlsruhe and the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut. We thank our
Karlsruhe colleagues Ms. Ingrid Ernst and Mr. Wolfgang Luck for their willing
and effective cooperation. We acknowledge with thanks contributions from our
colleagues all over the world. Last but not least we express our gratitude to all the
organizations, observatories, and publishers that provide us with complimentary
copies of their publications.
The recording process and corrections were carried out by our technical staff
members Ms. Helga Ballmann, Ms. Monika Kohl, and Ms. Sylvia Matyssek. It is
a pleasure to thank them all for their diligence.
