October 2011 ISSUE 43
Editors and Authors are invited!
Many of you know the book Planets,
Stars and Nebulae Studied with Photopolarimetry
(Arizona University Press, 1974). This was the first book of the popular Space
Science Series.
The
editor of the book, a well-known polarimetrist, Tom
Gehrels, passed away a couple of
months ago
To commemorate his memory, it
is planned publishing a similar book in the Space Science Series. The book
should demonstrate the progress in polarimetric
studies achieved after the original book was published. The Space Science
Series Editorial Board is now looking for people who can serve as the book
editors and/or contribute as its authors. If you are interested to be an editor
or to write a book chapter(s), or have any ideas regarding content and format
of such a book, please, email me Ludmilla (at astro.umd.edu).
Look forward to hearing from
you.

Taormina was a great success! Many thanks to the organizers!
Following
the tradition of the past years, the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer is going to
publish a special
issue collecting the contributions presented at ELS XIII as full-size journal
papers. Papers to be accepted for publication in this special issue are
required to have the same standard of originality and clarity of regular
research papers that usually appear in the journal and will follow the standard
peer-review process.

special issue, it is important that authors select ELS XIII: Regular Paper or
ELS XIII: Invited Review when they reach the Article Type step in the
submission process.
