Resumo
The Organizing Committee of Commission 27 has decided to again provide a somewhat abbreviated bibliography as part of this triennial report, as astronomy-centered search engines and on-line publications continue to blossom. We focus on selected highlights in variable star research over the past three years. Further results can be found in numerous proceedings of conferences held in the time frame covered by this report.
Following the IAU XXVI General Assembly, 2006, a number of international meetings considered intrinsically variable stars as a significant element of their program. In September 2006, the Vienna Workshop on the Future of Asteroseismology (Handler & Houdek 2007) celebrated Michel Breger’s 65th birthday. The November 2006 joint CoRoT/ESTA workshop on Solar/Stellar Models and Seismic Analysis Tools, has proceedings edited by Straka, Lebreton & Monteiro. The community gathered in July 2007 to honor Prof. Douglas Gough with a conference on Unsolved Problems in Stellar Physics, the proceedings of which were edited by Stancliffe et al. (2007). The long series of pulsating star meetings continued in July 2007 with Stellar Pulsation & Cycles of Discovery. Also in July 2007, the 3rd Meeting on Hot Subdwarf Stars and Related Objects was held in Bamberg (Heber et al. 2008). In April 2008, IAU Symposium No. 252 on The Art of Modeling Stars in the 21st Century was held in Sanya, China (Deng et al. 2008).
