This second volume of Reviews in Modern Astronomy continues the new
series of publications of the Astronomische Gesellschaft (AG). In
order to bring the scientific events of the meetings of the society
to the attention of the worldwide astronomical community, it was
decided to devote a new annual publication, Reviews in Modern
Astronomy, exclusively to the invited reviews, the Karl
Schwarzschild lectures, and the highlight contributions from
leading scientists reporting on recent progress and scientific
achievements at their institutes. Volume 2 comprises the
contributions presented during the spring meet ing of the AG at
Friedrichshafen in April 1989, which was dedicated to the topic
"Astrophysics with Modern Technology - Space-based and Ground-based
Systems," as well as those delivered at the fall meeting at Graz,
Austria in September 1989. The Karl Schwarzschild lectures
constitute a special series by outstanding scientists honoured with
the Karl Schwarzschild medal of the Astronomische Gesellschaft.
