Quasars and active galactic nuclei: High resolution radio imaging

  • 1. ROR icon California Institute of Technology

Abstract

The 12th colloquium in the series organized by the National Academy of Sciences, Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei: High Resolution Radio Imaging, was held at the NAS Beckman Center in Irvine, California, on March 24 and 25, 1995. The meeting brought together 138 scientists from 17 countries. The majority of the participants were radio astronomers, the colloquial name for astronomers who specialize in studies at radio wavelengths. However, there was also a strong mixture of theorists and other astronomers who work primarily in other wavelength bands, and this provided lively discussion and an occasional healthy dose of skepticism.

© 1995 National Academy of Sciences. The conference was organized by a small scientific organizing committee consisting of M. Cohen (cochair), K. Kellermann (cochair), R. Ekers from Australia, R. Fosbury from Germany, and M. Rees from the United Kingdom. All papers presented at the colloquium were invited and were chosen by the Scientific Organizing Committee to be representative of the most exciting work being done on high resolution radio imaging of quasars and AGN. In order to benefit from the broad expertise of the other participants, all papers published in these Proceedings have been reviewed by one of the participants as well as the editors. Also, to expedite scientific interaction between the authors and referees, the referees were not anonymous, and they interacted directly with the authors, exchanging manuscripts and comments by electronic mail from all corners of the globe. We thank the referees-Z. Abraham, R. Antonucci, P. Barthel, J. Biretta, R. Blandford, R. Booth, I. Browne, T. D. Jones, P. D. Murphy, D. Osterbrock, T. Muxlow, R. Schilizzi, G. Setti, P. Scheuer, T. Tzioumis, M. Urry, I. Pauliny-Toth, T. Pearson, R. C. Walker, J. Wardle, A. Werhle, and J. Wrobel and the authors for agreeing to this arrangement and for their cooperation in completing the manuscripts in a timely way.
