The Transactions XXVIIIA Reports on Astronomy 2010-2012 provides a
comprehensive and authoritative review of what has been achieved in
astronomy during the years 2010-12. These insightful and up-to-date
reviews from the IAU Divisions and Commissions have been written by
the presidents and chairpersons of the IAU scientific bodies.
Topics covered in this wide-ranging volume include: fundamental
astronomy; the Sun and heliosphere; planetary sciences; stars;
variable stars; interstellar matter; the Galactic system; galaxies
and the Universe; optical and infrared techniques; radio astronomy;
space and high-energy astrophysics; and other IAU activities. The
reviews have been written at a level suitable for colleagues in the
same fields, but will also be useful for students and researchers
wishing to gain an overview of astronomical fields beyond their own
research area.
These Transactions provide a record of the formal organisational
and administrative proceedings of the IAU XXVII General Assembly
which took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It includes the
admission of new members, the Resolutions passed, an account of the
regular Business Meetings of the Executive Committee, the
Divisions, Commissions and Working Groups, and gives the detailed
status of the Membership of the IAU. 2434 registered attendees from
76 nations enjoyed a rich scientific programme of 6 Symposia, 16
Joint Discussions, 10 Special Sessions, and 7 scientific sessions.
During the programme over 700 papers were presented and more than
1500 posters displayed. The Proceedings of the Symposia are
published in the Proceedings of the IAU Symposia Series, and those
of the Invited Discourses, Joint Discussions and Special Sessions
will feature in Highlights of Astronomy, Volume 15. Together with
those 7 volumes, these Transactions cover the entire General
Assembly.
