OUR REVIEW

The 34th. volume in this collection, of an annual publication, continues to follow the path of all the previous ones by making available to us a series of articles and papers related to astronomy and astrophysics that have been compiled during the last 12 months. These are exhaustive, thorough papers, directly aimed at the scientific community. They usually deal with current aspects, be it according to the latest discoveries made by the modern measuring devices, including satellites and huge terrestrial telescopes, or following some of the multiple research programs currently being developed all over the world.

Perhaps the most remarkable trait is the task done by the publishers, whose first books in the series Annual Reviews (which includes many other sciences), go back to 1932. With respect to the series of astronomy and astrophysics, these already are 34 editions serving as a platform to divulge the most advanced works that our scientists are developing.
