Cool :).

The html version is here:
http://www.edpsciences.org/papers/aa/full/2005/37/aa441100f/aa441100f.html

The idea is nice: structured abstracts. i've installed aa.cls version 6.0
on adjani. Or you can download from ftp://ftp.edpsciences.org/pub/aa/readme.html

The A&A structured abstracts will be phased in on a voluntary basis
during one year, and then there'll be a review to decide whether to make
it obligatory.


(2) http://arxiv.org/new/physics.html

* astro-ph  will be renamed to a "super-section" of physics, it will become
physics.AA

* there'll be four sections/categories, of which probably two are
  interesting to us:

physics.AC = cosmology
physics.AG = galaxies including AGNs

* It's not stated on the page, but i assume that backwards
compatibility will be retained, i.e. aliases will exist so that links
to ".../astro-ph/ " will still work.


i guess that the stellar people who don't like astro-ph might be even
more discouraged from using it if they have to accept (by this new
naming structure) that stellar astronomy is a subset of physics :P.

Subject: [Cosmo-torun] physics spam (but interesting anyway :P) Spacetime
 100 Years Later (fwd)
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.53.0509301304510.29134@adjani.astro.uni.torun.pl>

witam cosmo-torun,

IOP to nie firma, która ewidentnie popiera otwarty dostęp do informacji,
raczej ma tradycję zamkniętą. Jest dlaczego dla mnie, jest to
raczej ,,spam".

Jednakże, artykuły mogą być interesujący - dla osoby nie chętny do
szukiwanie w arxiv.org.

Np, raczej lubię artykuł Ashtekar'a: są dwa rodzaju ,,approaches" do
grawitacji kwantowej

- jeden w czymś jest m.in. teoria struń (jest
teoria ,,perturbative",

- drugi w czymś jest m.in. ,,loop quantum gravity" (związany z Ashtekarem)

Ashtekar uważa, że z loop quantum gravity, nie ma osobliwość na  a(t) = 0,
bo zwykly czas-przestrzeń tam już nie ma.

Więc, tu jest info ta.
