Tracers of Planetary, Stellar and Galactic Evolution Edited by Martin A. Barstow | University of Leicester

Edited by Mirjana Povic | Ethiopian Space Science and Technology Institute

More than ninety percent of stars will end their lives as white dwarfs.

They are fascinating objects in their own right, but they also impact other areas of research, such as cosmology, extrasolar planets and fundamental physics. IAU S357 indicates the direction of white dwarf research for the next decade.

• Provides an interdisciplinary approach to a range of problems, allowing researchers to access a wide range of topics which would typically be spread across several journals • Review papers provide key summaries of progress in a range of related research areas • A broad range of contributed papers give readers the latest thinking and results

The proceedings of IAU S356 summarise the most recent results in the field of active galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN). These are some of the most luminous and most distant sources in the Universe, so they are important for understanding the early Universe and its evolution through cosmic time.

• Gives a summary of the current state-of-the-art in AGN studies • Provides a general overview of AGN physics, from multiwavelength observations up to AGN evolution • Demonstrates the current developments in astronomical research in Africa Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union Symposia and Colloquia
