A
recurring feature in the I.A.P.P.P. Communications is a listing
of all papers published by amateurs (as authors or co-authors) in
mainstream astronomical journals (not including the I.A.P.P.P. Communications
itself) based on photoelectric (including CCD, of course) observations.
To
date the total count entered into the feature "Papers Published
by Amateurs" is 518, which is an impressive number. This total would
be even higher now except for the fact that the Astronomy Library
at Dyer Observatory , where the entries have been prepared, has
been dispersed to five different locations on and off the Vanderbilt
Campus and it is now difficult for the I.A.P.P.P. Co-Editor responsible
for this feature to access. Steps are already being taken to continue
compilation of this valuable listing by soliciting input from other
astronomers both amateur and professional. See below, concerning
this web site page.
Astronomy
journals and publications represented in this count of 518 include:
Acta Astronomica
