News Review items etc. flagged with 
" "      

   These items are links to short technical abstracts (the related full documents usually require a password or subscription) that may be of interest because 1) they give a bit of a sampling of what goes on in astronomy research behind the public headlines - and why it is not easy! 2) they raise particularly interesting implications beyond just the technical world.
    Keep in mind that these abstracts normally relate to research in progress in any given area, and is not the final word! Indeed, other research effforts may sometimes turn up quite different interpretations or conclusions. All part of research, and useful to keep in mind when you read authoritative-sounding public headlines. As elsewhere in science, findings have to stand the test of scrutiny by other researchers - sometimes months or years later, too (think of Newton and Einstein...)
    These linked abstracts are selected by your calendar-master only when he has the time beyond gathering regular headlines (which is not often:-(, so their listing is not complete by any means; any tech items you want to suggest for the list, please do eMail me (no extensions in eMail, thanks)
