order to bring the scientific events of the meetings of the society
to the attention of the worldwide astronomical community.
Reviews in Modern Astronomy is devoted
exclusively to the invited Reviews, the Karl Schwarzschild Lectures,
the Ludwig Biermann Award Lectures, and the highlight contributions
from leading scientists reporting on recent progress and scientific
achievements at their respective research institutes.
Volume 13 continues the yearbook series with 15 contributions
which were presented during the International Scientific Conference
of the AG on "New Astrophysical Horizons"
