Preface
Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts aims to present a comprehensive documen
tation of the literature concerning all aspects of astronomy, astrophysics, and their
border fields. It is devoted to the recording, summarizing, and indexing of the
relevant publications throughout the world. Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts
is prepared by a special department of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut under
the auspices of the International Astronomical Union.
Volume 43 records literature published in 1987 and received before August 15,
1987. Some older documents which we received late and which are not surveyed
in earlier volumes are included too. We acknowledge with thanks contributions of
our colleagues all over the world. We also express our gratitude to all organiza
tions, observatories, and publishers which provide us with complimentary copies
of their publications.
Starting with Volume 33, all the recording, correction, and data processing work
was done by means of computers. The recording was done by our technical staff
members Ms. Helga Ballmann, Ms. Beate Gobel, Ms. Monika Kohl, Ms. Sylvia
Matyssek, Ms. Doris Schmitz-Braunstein, Ms. Utta-Barbara Stegemann. Mr.
Jochen Heidt and Mr. Kristopher Polzine supported our task by careful proof
reading. It is a pleasure to thank them all for their encouragement.
