They came from Argentina, Australia, Chile, Mexico, South Mrica and the United States as well as from Europe; these latter, naturally, mostly from the member states ofESO. The choice of the subject was an obvious one. When erecting the European Southern Observatory as a joint effort in European astronomy, it was agreed from the beginning that the field of research should be the southern sky, so far hardly explored with large telescopes. Among the objects to be investigated, the Magellanic Clouds rank highest, together with the galactic centre region and the southern spiral structure. Being located ten times closer than the nearest large stellar systems accessible to northern observers, and containing a stellar population ranging in age from the oldest down of star formation, the Clouds provide an ideal laboratory for research on to the stage current problems in astrophysics. Yet, most of the northern observational astronomers were hardly ac | 出版日期 | Book 1971 | 关键词 | Galaxy; Population; Supernova; astronomy; astrophysics; galaxies; observatory; photometry; planet; star; star | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-6906-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-015-6908-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-6906-4Series ISSN 0067-0057 Series E-ISSN 2214-7985 | issn_series | 0067-0057 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1971 |
