It is now a well-established tradition that every four years, at
the end of winter, a group of 'celestial mechanicians' from all
over the world gather in the Austrian Alps at the invitation of R.
Dvorak. This time the colloquium was held at Badhofgastein from
March 19 to March 25, 2000 and was devoted to the 'New Developments
in the Dynamics of Planetary Systems'. The papers covered a large
range of questions of current interest: t- oretical questions
(resonances, KAM theory, transport, ... ) and questions about
numerical tools (synthetic elements, indicators of chaos, ... )
were particularly well represented; of course planetary theories
and Near Earth Objects were also quite popular. Three special
lectures were delivered in honor of deceased colleagues whom, to
our dismay, we will no longer meet at the 'Austrian Colloquia'. W.
Jefferys delivered the Heinrich Eichhorn lecture on 'Statistics for
the Twenty-first Century Astrometry', a topic on which Heinrich
Eichhorn was a specialist. A. Roy delivered a lecture honoring
Victor Szehebely on 'Lifting the Darkness: Science in the Third
Millenium', in which in wove anecdotes and remembrances of Victor
which moved the audience very much. A. Lemaitre spoke in honor of
Michele Moons on 'Mech anism of Capture in External Resonance'. The
end of her talk was devoted to a short and moving biography of
Michele illustrated by many slides."
