Galaxy Scaling Relations: Origins, Evolution and Applications
At close inspection every galaxy appears to have its own individuality.A galaxy can be warped, lop-sided, doubly-nucleated, boxy or disky, ... in its own specific, peculiar way. Hence, for a complete description, galaxy taxonomy may ask for finer and finer classification schemes. However, for some applications it may be more fruitful to let details aside and focus on some global properties of galaxies. One is then seeking to measure just a few quantities for each galaxy, a minimum set of globalobservables that yet captures some essential aspect of these objects. One very successful example of this approach is offered by the scaling rela tions of galaxies, the subject of the international wor...
Observatories in Earth Orbit and Beyond
When I became President of International Astronomical Union Commission 44 for the triennial period 1985-1988, several members of the Organizing Committee and I agreed that it would be a good idea for our Commission to host a conference on observatories in space in view of their increasingly important role in astronomi cal research. IAU Colloquium Number 123 "Observatories in Earth Orbit and Beyond" is the first colloquium sponsored by IAU Com mission 44 on Astronomy from Space, although Commission 44 has co-sponsored numerous colloquia and symposia in the past. The past two decades have seen a flourishing of astronomical observatories in space. Over a dozen orbiting observatories have opened...
Infrared Astronomy with Arrays
The idea for another conference on the theme of Infrared Astronomy with Arrays actually goes back to March 1987. At a party held in my home at the end of the Hilo conference, excitement was running high and everyone present was in favor of another meeting. I recall suggesting to Al Fowler that the next meeting could be in Tucson. Despite Al's reply to the effect that Hawaii was a much nicer location, a meeting was held in Tucson three years later. That meeting focussed more on the astrophysics which had been accomplished with the detectors, rather than on techniques and methods. However, it was already apparent in February of 1990 that a new generation of larger m arrays would soon supersede the 64x64 class of devices and so, having just moved from the UK Infrared Telescope unit in Hawaii to join with Eric Becklin in his move to UCLA, it seemed to me that another Hilo-style conference was appropriate, and Eric agreed.

Galaxy Evolution in Groups and Clusters
Galaxy groups and clusters provide excellent laboratories for studying galaxy properties in different environments and at different look-back times. In particular, the recent detections of high-redshift cluster candidates, only possible with the current high-technology instrumentation, add a new dimension to the problem. Along with the ever increasing computing power and sophisticated algorithms to model clusters of galaxies, it may help us to understand the origins of today's groups and clusters, as well as of their member galaxies. These workshop proceedings provide a snapshot of the current research in this subject, covering the observations, theory and numerical simulations relevant to galaxy evolution in groups and clusters. In this book, intended primarily to researchers in the field, particular emphasis is given to the recent impressive progress in the field, on important new results, and on the future prospects and open questions to be tackled.
Das Jesus-Video
Gibt es ein Video von Jesus Christus? Bei archäologischen Ausgrabungen in Israel findet der Student Stephen Foxx in einem 2000 Jahre alten Grab die Bedienungsanleitung einer Videokamera, die erst in einigen Jahren auf den Markt kommen soll. Es gibt nur eine Erklärung: Jemand muss versucht haben, Aufnahmen von Jesus Christus zu machen! Der Tote im Grab wäre demnach ein Mann aus der Zukunft, der in die Vergangenheit reiste - und irgendwo in Israel wartet das Jesus-Video darauf, gefunden zu werden. Oder ist alles nur ein großangelegter Schwindel? Eine atemberaubende Jagd zwischen Archäologen, Vatikan, den Medien und Geheimdiensten beginnt ... Der Kult-Bestseller Das Jesus-Video wurde 1999 mit dem Deutschen Science Fiction Preis ausgezeichnet und ist ein absolutes Muss für alle Fans von packenden Scifi-Thrillern!
