Welcome to the McDonald Observatory Péridier Library Abstract page. This page contains information about abstracts currently available through the Péridier Library.

If you wish to see a preprint of a paper referenced by an abstract found here, please select the link in the Preprint: field in the heading of the page containing the abstract. Note that the preprint file may bw sent to you in compressed form, depending on the web browser you are using; in this event you may decompress the file using the unix uncompress command. If the preprint link is not present, you may request a copy of the preprint directly from the author by sending inquiry e-mail to the address appearing in the E-mail: field.

If you wish to see only abstracts written by a certain author, those with specified words in the title or abstract text, or those with predefined keywords, please select the search option below.

To submit a new abstract to the archive, please fill out a Péridier abstract information form and e-mail to librarian@abstract.as.utexas.edu . The most current submission commands for submitting a preprint to the E-Print Server at Los Alamos National Laboratories, and a description of the required format are available online.
