This ESO workshop, which took place in September 1995 on a topic
that at a first glance could be considered rather specialized,
attracted an unpre dictably large number of scientists. This
certainly reflects the importance of this field, which has lost its
seemingly esoteric character, in a wider astro physical context. To
give as much room as possible in these proceedings to the targeted
talks, no presentation of the Very Large Telescope Observatory has
been included. All readers missing such a presentation are reminded
that up-to date in-depth information about the VLT status is
available electronically.1 Papers were given concerning
observations in the entire electromagnetic spectrum from x-rays to
mm-waves, i.e., exceeding 22 octaves in frequency. The VLT as any
ground-based optical observatory can only address at best 7
octaves. Nevertheless the VLT, most likely the only ground-based
observa tory specifically designed to access all these 7 octaves of
the electromagnetic spectrum practically in parallel, will
undoubtedly be a tool of extreme value to this field.
