Inhaltsangabe

High-resolution radio astronomy is burgeoning, with profound contributions coming from recent developments is Very Long Baseline Interferometry and observations with the Hubble Space Telescope in particular. From an exciting international conference in Manchester, these proceedings present the latest results and suggest new ways forward.
Sixteen review articles summarise current knowledge - in fields such as SiO, OH and methanol masers, parsec- and kiloparsec-scale radio jets, interstellar turbulence and astrometry - and outline future research. In addition, well over a hundred papers give the latest developments in subjects as diverse as radio stars, the Galactic Centre and gravitational lensing, and present recent advances that will allow the accurate intercomparison of high-resolution radio and optical observations.
This timely volume provides an essential overview of the latest results and points towards future research for graduate students and researchers in the exciting field of sub-arcsecond radio astronomy.
