The Alexander von Humboldt Colloquium on Celestial Mechanics (sub
titled "The Stability of Planetary Systems") was held in Ramsau,
Styria, in the Austrian Alps, from March the 25th to the 31st,
1984. The dedication of the meeting to Alexander von Humboldt
presented partici pants with the challenge that the discussions
during the week should reflect the spirit of that great scientist
of the last century, that the very many interesting ideas presented
and developed during the sessions should be interpreted in the
light of a broad v ew of astron omy and astrophysics. The topics of
the meeting ranged from astrometric questions relating to the
specification of inertial reference systems, motion of planets
(including minor planets) and satellites, with the recurring topic
of the search for criteria of stability of the systems, resonances,
periodic orbits, and to the origin of the systems. Each session
began with one or more invited review papers, followed by offered
contributions and discussion. Three evening discussions were held,
devoted respectively to inertial systems, to numerical integration
techniques, and to cosmogonic problems and ring systems. On the
evening of Wednesday, March 28th, a recital of chamber mus c was
given by Bernhard Piberauer, on the violin, and Meinhard Prinz, on
the piano."
