Possible Features of IAU Standards

Beyond the standard IAU framework

We discuss three conceivable scenarios of extension and/or modification of the IAU relativistic resolutions on time scales and spatial coordinates beyond the Standard IAU Framework. These scenarios include: (1) the formalism of the monopole and dipole moment transformations of the metric tensor replacing the scale transformations of time and space coordinates; (2) implementing the parameterized...

IAU XXIX General Assembly

Body Solar system bodies are observed at many scattering angles. The reflection and polarization change withphase angle of light scattered from particulates has been studied for a century in the lab in efforts tounderstand clouds, aerosols, planetary ring systems and planetary regoliths. These effects must beunderstood in order to infer surface properties from astronomical data. The...

2000 in Modelling of Stellar Atmospheres, IAU Symposium 210

Long-baseline interferometry at optical and near-infrared wavelengths is an emerging technology which is quickly becoming a useful tool to investigate stellar atmospheres and to compare observations with models. Stellar atmosphere models have so far mainly been constrained by comparisons with stellar spectra which are integrated over the stellar disks. Interferometric observations provide spati...

the impact of skopos on syntactic features of the target text

the present study is an experimental case study which investigates the impacts, if any, of skopos on syntactic features of the target text. two test groups each consisting of 10 ma students translated a set of sentences selected from advertising texts in the operative and informative mode. the resulting target texts were then statistically analyzed in terms of the number of words, phrases, si...
