Abstract
THE French National Centre of Scientific Research announces that, beginning with this year, the Annales d'Astrophysique will be reorganised as an international medium for the publication of articles on astrophysics. Prof. F. Joliot-Curie, director of the Centre, has nominated a French committee to organise the French Service d'Astrophysique (Upper Provence Observatory, Institute for Astrophysics in Paris, Annales d'Astrophysique, etc.): Chairman, Prof. A. Danjon, director of the Paris Observatory ; Vice-chairman, M. Chalonge, astronomer at the Paris Observatory and at the Institute of Astrophysics ; Secretary, H. Mineur, astronomer of the Paris Observatory and director of the Institute of Astrophysics ; Members, Messrs. Coulomb, Dufay, Fehren-bach, Lyot, Couder, Lallemand and Barbier. Dr. D. Barbier has been appointed editor-in-chief for the Annales. An international board of foreign correspondents has also been formed including Messrs. Abetti, Beals, Gaviola, Lindblad, Mayall, Menzel, Merrill, Cort, Plaskett, Redman, Russell, B. Strömgren, Struve and Swings. Under the new plan the Annales will accept articles from all countries and will be prepared to print them in French, English or German. During the War the Annales published two issues a year. Those dated 1945 are expected to appear shortly. The first issue of 1946, which will start the international series, is expected to appear in the middle of the year. The address of the editor is Dr. D. Barbier, Institut d'Astrophysique, 98 bis, Boul. Arago, Paris (14ème), France.
