In connection with arranging IAU Symposium No. 50 on 'Spectral
Classification and Multicolour Photometry', sponsored by
Commissions 45 and 25, it was decided to exclude all calibration
problems. Instead it was agreed that we should attempt to arrange a
separate symposium, dealing with the fundamental problems of the
cali bration of absolute magnitudes and temperatures of stars. The
Executive Committee of the IAU accepted our proposal, and IAU
Symposium No. 54 was held in Geneva on September 12-15, 1972,
sponsored by thefollowing IAU Commissions: 24, 25, 29, 33, 35,
37,44 and 45. It was attended by about 90 scientists representing
16 countries. The Symposium was divided into eight sessions. Each
session started with a review paper by an invited speaker; this was
followed by a general discussion including a few contributed
papers. The contents of the present volume follow closely the
programmes of the individual sessions of the Symposium. Most of the
recorded discussions have been kept, and only in a few cases have
the order of questions and comments been altered so as to obtain
more homogeneity in the presentation."
