项目摘要

Meaningful participation by U.S. astronomers in the meetings of the International Astronomical Union is important. Over one- quarter of the active U.S. research astronomers are working on projects in collaboration with foreign scientists. Several large foreign instruments which have unique capabilities are routinely used by U.S. astronomers. The largest and most important international meeting is the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU). In 1988 the General Assembly will be held in the United States; providing an unparalleled opportunity for young U.S. astronomers to meet and develop working relationships with their counterparts from foreign countries. Unlike many other international scientific unions, the IAU emphasizes scientific sessions and presentation of research results. The IAU also stresses attendance and full participation by young scientists. It is important for the continued health of astronomy in the U.S. that American scientists be able to participate in these meetings. The American Astronomical Society (AAS) will organize a program of grants for travel to attend the IAU General Assembly. Applications for travel to the General Assembly will be accepted by the AAS, and awards will be decided by a selection committee chosen by the U.S. National Committee for the IAU. The travel grant program will be publicized by the AAS at its meetings and through continuing announcements in the AAS Newsletter.

美国天文学家有意义地参与国际天文联合会的会议是很重要的。超过四分之一的美国活跃研究天文学家正在与外国科学家合作开展项目。美国天文学家经常使用几台具有独特能力的大型外国仪器。规模最大、最重要的国际会议是国际天文学联盟(天文学联盟)大会。1988年，联合国大会将在美国举行；这将为年轻的美国天文学家提供一个无与伦比的机会，让他们与外国同行见面并发展工作关系。与许多其他国际科学联盟不同，IAU强调科学会议和研究成果的展示。IAU还强调年轻科学家的出席和充分参与。为了美国天文学的持续健康，美国科学家能够参加这些会议是很重要的。美国天文学会(AAS)将为参加IAU大会的旅费组织一项赠款计划。AAS将接受前往联合国大会的旅行申请，奖项将由美国IAU全国委员会挑选的遴选委员会决定。旅行补助计划将由美国科学促进会在其会议上进行宣传，并通过在美国科学促进会通讯中的持续公告进行宣传。
