Welcome on the IAU Com 28 home page
Commission 28 deals with External GALAXIES:
- Morphology and Dynamics of Galaxies
- Galaxy Interactions and Galaxy Environment
- Starbursts and Star Formation History
- Active Nuclei of Galaxies (AGN)
- Chemical Evolution and Stellar Populations
It does not deal with the Milky Way, which is covered by
Commission 33.
It is one of the 2 Commissions of
IAU Division VIII: Galaxies and the Universe, together with
Commission 47: Cosmology .
The Commission 28 has about 800 members.
Any IAU member who works in the field, and who is not yet a member of
this commission, should contact
its current president (2006-2009).
It is possible to be a member of several commissions (the number is no more
fixed).
The full
list of members can, unfortunately, not be published on this webpage
(due
to legal constraints) but the addresses of individual members with a
well-known
name spelling may be found in the IAU
membership directory.
