Preface
Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts, which has appeared in semi-annual volumes since 1969, is de
voted 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 documentation of Iiterature
in all fie1ds of astronomy and astrophysics. Every effort will be made to ensure that the average time
interval between the date of receipt of the original Iiterature and publication of the abstracts will not
exceed eight months. This time interval is near to that achieved by monthly abstracting journals, com
pared to which our system of accumulating abstracts for about six months offers the advantage of
greater convenience for the user.
Volume 10 contains Iiterature published in 1973 and received before March 15, 1974; some older
Iiterature which was received late and which is not recorded in earlier vo1umes is also included.
We acknowledge with thanks contributions to this volume by Dr. J. BouSka, who surveyed journals
and publications in the Czech language and supplied us with abstracts in English, and by the Common
wealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (C.S.I.R.O.), Sydney, for providing titles and
abstracts of papers on radio astronomy.
We also extend our warmest thanks toMiss Helga Ballmann, Mrs Monika Betz, Mrs Karola Gude, and
Mrs Ingrid Wolf, who typed the text of this volume on IBM 72 Composers and compiled the pages
from abstract slips in a perfect form for offset reproduction, to Mrs Elisabeth Feigenbutz, for punch
ing material for the author index.
