The Power of Optical/IR Interferometry: Recent Scientific Results and 2nd Generation Instrumentation
Celebrating the completion of the first phase of VLTI development, the ESO workshop The Power of Optical/IR Interferometry, held in 2005, gathered researchers together to review and discuss not just interferometers, but also how science uses interferometers and their impact on astronomy as a whole. This volume contains the proceedings of this workshop, serving as a reference for astronomers working with optical and infrared interferometry.
Highlights of Astronomy: Volume 14
Recording the proceedings of the IAU XXVI General Assembly, this volume of the IAU Highlights of Astronomy covers virtually all aspects of modern astrophysics as discussed by 2400 participants from 73 countries. Notably, the common aspects of astrophysical phenomena known to exist in widely differing interstellar environments is thoroughly examined, providing fertile cross correlation from one specialisation to another. This text highlights the importance of the triennial IAU General Assemblies in bringing together the work of observers and theoreticians in widely different fields, but working towards a common goal: understanding the physics of the Universe. Together with the Proceedings of the IAU Symposia 235-240, this volume examines all of the astrophysics presented at the General Assembly.

P Cygni 2000
Annotation The hypergiant star P Cygni was discovered in August 1600. An August 2000 workshop celebrated the 400th anniversary of the star's discovery with presentation of the research on the photometry and spectroscopy of P Cygni and other stars, theoretical aspects, and the environment of P Cygni. Some specific topics investigated include X-ray emission and variability of Eta Carinae, spectral and photometric variability of P Cygni, the near-infrared spectrum of P Cygni, nebular observations of the ejecta surrounding Eta Carinae, strange-mode instabilities in the nonlinear regime, the eruption history of P Cygni, and comparing P Cygni's spectroscopic variability with that of other B-type supergiants.
