IAU symposium 165 'Compact Stars in Binaries' was held from 15
through 19 August 1994, as part of the 22nd General Assembly of the
IAU in The Hague. The symposium, supported by IAU Commissions
35,37,44 and 48, and co-sponsored by Commission 42, was attended by
about 400 to 500 participants. This symposium received support
from: - The International Astronomical Union; - The Royal
Netherlands Academy of Sciences; - The Netherlands Ministery of
Education and Science; - The Leids Kerkhoven Bosscha Fonds; - The
Stichting Fysica. The field of compact stars in binaries is one of
the most active areas of present-day astrophysics. An absolute
highlight of the last few years was the 1993 Nobel Prize of
physics, awarded to Taylor and Hulse for their discovery of the
binary pulsar PSR 1913+ 16, and the measurement of the orbital
decay of this system due to the emission of gravitational waves.
The aim of the organizers of the symposium was to present an
overview of the most significant observational discoveries of the
past decade, in com bination with a review of the most important
theoretical developments. We were very happy that most of the
world's leading experts in observation and theory were present at
the symposium to review the various aspects of the subject. The
contents of their oral presentations are now published in the form
of these proceedings, which we expect to become an important source
of reference for the coming years."
