Physics & Astronomy: Web Resources

A non-profit organization that disseminates info on transient astronomical events. Their mission is to "promote and safeguard the science of astronomy...through international cooperation." The IAU is the internationally recognized authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and surface features. The well-known IAU telegrams (IAU Circulars) are now called Central Bureau Electronic Telegrams (CBET's). The printed version is considered the official version. IAUC's between about #2200 (1969) to #8500 (1997) are free. Later telegrams require a subscription to be viewed online.

This annual meeting of astronomers and engineers has occurred since 1990. The NRAO Library ISSTT Proceedings is the first online repository for all 20 years of the conference proceedings. The site contains direct links to the table of contents and to all of the individual papers contained therein.

Containing over 2.0 million bibliographic records (back to 1964), the NTIS Database is the preeminent resource for accessing the latest research sponsored by the United States and select foreign governments.

This database replaces the Energy Citation Database. Includes technical reports, bibliographic citations, journal articles, conference papers, books, multimedia, and data information sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE) through grants, cooperative agreements, or another funding mechanism from the 1940s until today.
