TH. HENNING and B. STECKLUM University Observatory. Jena This
workshop was organized by the University Observatory Jena and
devoted to the physics and chemistry of dense regions of
interstellar matter. It was especially dealing with the properties
of interstellar dust grains and star formation in those regions.
This field of research was opened in Jena already in the 1950s and
an early fA U Colloquium on the topic of interstellar matter was
held here in 1969. Since that time, the subject of interstellar
matter has grown into a much more important part of astrophysics
than it was in 1969. Now we are beginning to understand the process
of star formation in a greater detail. The discovery of many
interstellar molecules by radioastronomers opened the new field of
interstellar chemistry. In addition, the application of the new
techniques of infrared astronomy led to the discovery of several
absorption bands, e. g. , the 3. 1 11m ice band, which pointed to
the existence of grain mantles. More recently, the detection of
infrared emission lines was the first hint to the existence of a
new component of interstellar matter. All these things were
discussed extensively during the workshop. The very successful IRAS
mission, which was also a subject of this workshop, gave us many
new insights and unexpected findings, e. g. , the detection of
infrared cirrus clouds.
