Schmadel Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts is prepared under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union ISBN 978-3-662-12309-6 ISBN 978-3-662-12307-2 (eBook) DOI 10.1007/978-3-662-12307-2 © 1977 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg Originally published by Astronomisches Rechen-Institut Heidelberg in 1977 Softcover reprint of the hardcover 1st edition 1977 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 72-104650. 2153/3130-543210 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 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 18 contains literature published in 1976 and received before March 1, 1977; some older liter ature 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. Bouska, Prague, who surveyed journals and publications in Czech and supplied us with abstracts in English, and by Prof. P. Brosche, Bonn, who supplied us with literature concerning some border fields of astronomy. We want to ac knowledge valuable contributions by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organi zation (C.S.I.R.O.), Sydney, for providing titles and abstracts of papers on radio astronomy, and by Zentralstelle fUr Atomkernenergie-Dokumentation, Leopoldshafen, which supported our abstracting service by sending us retrospective literature retrieval. It is a pleasure to express our warmest thanks again to Ms. Helga BaUmann, Ms. Monika Betz, Ms. Lore Kiefert, and Ms. 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. We are indebted to Ms. Elisabeth Feigenbutz 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 some scientific and technical staff members of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, who supported our task by careful proofreading and punching cards for the indexes, respectively.
