This Symposium began with a proposal for a meeting to honour Emer
itus Professor Robert Hanbury Brown on the occasion of his 80th
birthday. He requested that any such meeting should be on a topic
that would be of benefit to the Sydney University Stellar
Interferometer (SUSI) program. With SUSI and several other high
angular resolution instruments either in operation or coming on
line within the next decade, and with advances in astrometry,
spectroscopy and in theoretical models of stellar atmospheres and
interiors, it appeared to be both appropriate and timely to hold a
symposium on "Fundamental Stellar Properties: the Interaction
between Observation and Theory. " The emphasis of the meeting was
on the critical assessment of the qual ity, accuracy, and prospects
for improvement of the observational data and theoretical models,
on the outstanding problems in stellar astrophysics, and on the
feasibility of achieving the observational and theoretical advances
required for their solution. Invited papers comprised the major
part of the oral program and the speakers responded to the
challenge issued by the Scientific Organising Committee to
critically review the current status and prospects for their area
of expertise. The Symposium was opened by the Chancellor of the
University of Sydney, Emeritus Professor Dame Leonie Kramer, who
welcomed the 126 participants from 22 countries on behalf of the
University. The oral program included . 52 invited reviews and
papers and 10 contributed papers."
