COMMISSION 29: STELLAR SPECTRA

Participants in Commission29 study various aspects of stellarspectra and the information that can be extracted from spectra. The list of fields of interest of the Organizing Committee members suggest some major current research topics in this area are stellarchemical compositions and surface/envelope phenomena. Some of the topics of this commissionhave overlap with other commissions, such as Commission14 (Atomic and Molecular Data), 26 (Double and Multiple Stars), 27 ( Variable Stars), 30 ( Radial Velocities), 36 (Theory of Stellar Atmospheres), and 37 ( Star Clustersand Associations). Many Commission29 members are also members of these other commissions.
