Nibiru
Removing the entrails of the past was never so dangerous. The truth has been revealed, and when that happens, you must be prepared to face its consequences. A celestial body approaches the Earth, orbiting it every hundreds of eons. Its name is Nibiru and Mara, a young girl amateur of astronomy, will discover that it is not just any planet. But she is not the only one who has her eyes on it and what this means. After the death of the prestigious archaeologist and professor Gregorio Martinez, Alex, his apprentice, will embark on a thrilling career full of adventures, mysteries and revelations that will take him from the arid lands of ancient Sumeria to an unexpected encounter with Mara. Gods, slaves and primitives; Past, present and future; All will play their cards in a titanic struggle to uncover the true origin of life. Meanwhile, slowly, Nibiru approaches.
Stellar Populations as Building Blocks of Galaxies (IAU S241)
Report on the progress made in recent years in the field of stellar populations.
Rent, Resources, Technologies
Rent, resources, and technologies are three crucial issues to the understanding of history and economics. The scarcity of resources, its interplay with technology, and the role of rent in explaining both economic growth and income distribution are investigated by adopting a multi-sectoral and non-proportional model, where scarce resources impose several scale constraints that may slow growth, but may contribute to further development of new technologies. In this dynamic framework the category of rent acquires new dimensions with far-reaching implications for both the system of prices and the distribution of income. The analytical and formal-theoretical perspective of this book could be used as a basis for future historical and quantitative studies.
The Evolution of Galaxies
Galaxies have a history. This has become clear from recent sky surveys which have shown that distant galaxies, formed early in the life of the Universe, differ from the nearby ones. New observational windows at ultraviolet, infrared and millimetric wavelengths (provided by ROSAT, IRAM, IUE, IRAS, ISO) have revealed that galaxies contain a wealth of components: very hot gas, atomic hydrogen, molecules, dust, dark matter ... A significant advance is expected due to new instruments (VLT, FIRST, XMM) which will allow one to explore the most distant Universe. Three Euroconferences have been planned to punctuate this new epoch in galactic research, bringing together specialists in various fields of Astronomy.
Stellar Populations (IAU S262)
IAU Symposium 262 presents reviews on the current understanding of the theories of stellar evolution, galaxy formation and galaxy evolution. It emphasises what we have learned in the past few years from massive surveys covering large portions of the sky (e.g. SDSS, HDF, UDF, GOODS, COSMOS). Several critical aspects of research on stellar populations deserve further effort in order to be brought in tune with other areas of astrophysical research. The next ten years will see the opening of major observatories that will increase the quality and quantity of astronomical data by orders of magnitude. The expected benefits from these instruments for the study of stellar populations are explored. This critical review of state of the art observational and theoretical work will appeal to all those working on stellar populations, from distant galaxies to local resolved galaxies and galactic star clusters.
