Andrew W. Clegg (EDT), Gerald E. Nedoluha (EDT) Astrophysical Masers

Annotation

In this volume the full range of astrophysical maserresearch is covered, with contributions from many of theforemost researchers in the field. The topics includemasers in star-forming, circumstellar and extragalacticenvironments, solar system masers, newly discovered masingtransitions, variability, proper-motion studies, and theory. Since this was the first ever conference devoted exclusivelyto astrophysical masers, these proceedings provide areference for this field which has not previously beenavailable. "Astrophysical Masers" will be useful both tothose who wish to study the physics of masers, and to thosewho wish to better understand the astrophysically importantregions with which they are associated.
