About the Authors

This book provides a review of the work in progress on the infrared spectral region of stars. The most important previous mission, the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) was launched in 1983. Although it was only operating for one year, in that time it surveyed the whole sky for infrared emitters of many different kinds, providing a fundamental catalogue of thousands of objects. As a consequence of its success, a new mission to observe the infrared sky is being planned. The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) is scheduled for a launch in May 1993. It should add substantially to our knowledge of the stars. Based on the proceedings of an international conference held in Montpellier, France, The Infrared Spectral Region of Stars provides an excellent forum for experts in the field to get together and evaluate the status of current knowledge and analyze instrumentation.
