This volume contains the proceedings of an international conference
on Shocks in Astrophysics held at UMIST, Manchester, England from
January 9-12, 1995. The study of interstellar and circumstellar gas
dynamics has a long and distinguished history in Manchester and has
been almost entirely concentrated in the school founded by Franz
Kahn in the Astronomy Department, University of Manchester. In
January 1993, one of us (AR) was appointed to the faculty of the
Astrophysics Group in the Department of Mathematics at UMIST and
astrophysical gas dynam ics became a major interest of the Group.
The subject of this conference was chosen partly for the topicality
of the subject matter and partly to help synthesise this expertise
with the expertise in interstellar chemistry already present in the
Group. The first fruits of this synthesis are contained in this
volume. As it happened, this conference celebrated, not so much the
beginnings of a long and fruitful collabo ration, but rather gave
many of Alex's friends the chance to say a fond farewell as he
departed UMIST at the end of January 1995 to take up a chair at
UNAM, Mexico City. The core of this volume consists of twelve
review articles, marked (R) in the list of contents, incorporating
observational and theoretical studies of shock waves in a variety
of situations from Herbig-Haro objects to Supernova Remnants to
Active Galactic Nuclei. We have also included the contributed (C)
and poster (P) papers."
