Comets to Cosmology [E-Book] : Proceedings of the Third IRAS Conference Held at Queen Mary College, University of London July 6–10, 1987 / edited by Andrew Lawrence.
These proceedings are concerned with discoveries from the Infra-Red Astronomical Satellite IRAS including follow-up projects in theoretical and observational astronomy. In particular, they stress the solar system results from IRAS. A huge range of astronomical topics is addressed including asteroids...
