Papers on the Symposium on Collision Phenomena in Astrophysics, Geophysics, and Masers

Abstract

This publication comprises three papers on astrophysical and geophysical problems that were presented at a special symposium at the National Bureau of Standards Boulder (Colo.) Laboratories in June 1961. The speakers spoke on the question: What are the most important atomic and molecular data needed by theoreticians for progress in astrophysics, geophysics, and gas lasers? The papers are entitled 'Astrophysical problems' by Michael Seaton; 'Collision processes in the high atmosphere' by A. Dalgarno; and 'Some problems connected with the analysis of the structure of the solar atmosphere' by Charlotte Pecker.
