Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts is devoted to the recording, summarizing and indexing of astronomical publications throughout the world. Two volumes are scheduled to appear per year. Volume 67 records 10,903 papers covering besides the classical fields of astronomy and astrophysics such matters as space flights related to astronomy, lunar and planetary probes and satellites, meteorites and interplanetary matter, X rays and cosmic rays, quasars and pulsars. The abstracts are classified under more than one hundred subject categories thus permitting quick surveying of the bulk of material published on the same topic within six months. For instance, this volume records 119 papers on minor planets, 155 papers on supernovae, and 554 papers on cosmology.

For every galaxy in the field or in clusters, there are about three galaxies in groups. The Milky Way itself resides in a group. Groups in the local universe offer the chance to study galaxies in environments characterized by strong interactions. In the cosmological context, groups trace large-scale structures better than clusters; the evolution of groups and clusters appears to be related. All these aspects of research are summarized in this book.

Annotation Consists of 19 papers presented during the October 2000 workshop on cosmic ray physics and high energy astrophysics. The contributors address very high energy cosmic rays, high energy neutral particles, propagation, and acceleration. Among the topics are a scintillation crystal detector for low energy neutrino and astroparticle physics, ultra high energy cosmic rays from supermassive objects with magnetic monopoles, extreme ultraviolet emission from clusters of galaxies, and data from an alpha magnetic spectrometer on board a 1998 shuttle flight. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
