Achievements in space astrophysics; Proceedings of the Topical Meeting, Ottawa, Canada, May 16-June 2, 1982

Progress in astrophysics resulting from IUE and Einstein Observatory studies is reviewed. The topics considered include: the solar corona as a testing found for plasma astrophysics; seismological studies of the sun and other stars; magnetic reconnection; IUE and Einstein observations of cool stars, high-luminosity X-ray binaries, supernovae, cataclysmic variables, active galactic nuclei, globular clusters and blue horizontal branch stars, supernova remnants, UV spectra of H II regions and galaxies, and galactic clusters. Also discussed are: highly variable X-ray emitting objects in the Rho Oph dark cloud; X-ray diagnostics of globular clusters; stellar chromospheres and coronae of solar and late-type dwarfs, active stars and systems, F-, G-, and K-type stars, hot stars, and cool luminous stars; coronal heating mechanisms; magnetic flux expulsion as an acceleration mechanism for stellar winds; and energy balance of the outer atmospheres of solar like stars.
