The theme of the conference held at the Institute of Astronomy in
the summer of 1981 was 'Supernovae'. The topic was interpreted very
broadly: observations in all wavebands were discussed, along with
theories for the explosion mechanism and the light curves; there
were papers on supernova remnants and pulsar statistics; other
sessions dealt with the use of new techniques for improving
supernova searches, and with the importance of supernovae for
cosmogonic and cosmological studies. This book contains texts based
on all the main review lectures, together with a number of shorter
papers which describe new results presented at the conference. The
Scientific Organising Committee, responsible for arranging the
programme, consisted of J. Audouze, G. B. Brown, J. Danziger, F.
Pacini, M. J. Rees (Chairman) and J. W. Truran. The conference was
well attended, with over 100 visitors to Cambridge as well as many
local participants. We are grateful to all those who helped with
the practical organisation of the meeting, especially Dr Michael
Ingham (Secretary of the Institute of Astronomy) and Mrs Norah
Tate. We thank all the authors of the papers in this volume for the
trouble they took in preparing written versions of their excellent
lectures, and for the efforts they made to meet our ' final' deadl
ine: we wish especially to thank Drs W. O. Arnett and J. M.
Lattimer for help with the edi torial work.
