Henn Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts is prepared under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union ISBN 978-3-662-12297-6 ISBN 978-3-662-12295-2 (eBook) DOI 10.1007/978-3-662-12295-2 © by Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1975 Originally published by Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg New York in 1975 Softcover reprint oftbe hardcover 1st edition 1975 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 72-104650 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 aresolution adopted at the 14th General Assembly in 1970). Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts airns to present a comprehensive documentation 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, com pared to which our system of accumulating abstracts for about six months offers the advantage of greater convenience for the user. Volume 12 contains literature published in 1974 and received before March 15, 1975; some older literature which was received late and which is not recorded in earlier volumes is also inc1uded. Begin ning with volume 11 some minor changes of our c1assification scheme have been made. 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. Miss Dipl. Math. Inge Heinrich and Dr. L. Schmadel joined our staff in October 1974 and January 1975, respectively. We want to acknowledge their valuable contributions to this volume. It is a pleasure to express our warrnest thanks again to Miss Helga Ballmann, Mrs Monika Betz, Mrs Ka rola Gude, Miss Lore Kiefert, and Mrs Ingrid Wolf, who typed the text of this volume on IBM 72 Com posers and compiled the pages from abstract slips in a perfect form for offset reproduction, to Mrs Elisabeth Feigenbutz, for punching material for the author index.
