"Fundamental Astronomy and Solar System Dynamics," a program of
invited papers honoring Professor Walter Fricke, who for thirty
years has been Director of the Astronomisches Rechen lnstitut in
Heidelberg, was held at the Thompson Conference Center of the
University of Texas at Austin on Wednesday 27 March 1985 on the
occasion of his seventieth birthday and retirement as Director of
ARl. Professor Fricke's contributions to astronomy encompass the
areas of galactic dynamics, radial velocities, stellar statistics.
the fundamental reference system and the constant of precession.
Participants were welcomed to the Uni versi ty of Texas by
Professor J. Parker Lamb, Chairman of the Department of Aerospace
Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. The presentations ranged
from discussions of astrometric problems concerned with the
reference system, the constant of precession, major and minor
planet observations, planetary ephemerides and lunar and satellite
laser ranging, to a study of disc galaxies in massive halos. The
program concluded with a review of Professor Fricke's career. The
three sessions were chaired by Victor G. Szebehely, Carol A.
Williams and Jay H. Lieske. The participants in this meeting, and
in the Division on Dynamical Astronomy meeting that followed, were
happy that Professor Fricke was able to attend. His presence at
these meetings, as well as his thoughtful comments, were greatly
appreciated. We are pleased to acknowledge the support of the
Center for Space Research, the Department of Astronomy and the
Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics of
the University of Texas at Austin.
