Centro de Astrofísica da Universidade do Porto
XXVII General Assembly of the IAU
3-5 August 2009, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The proceedings will be published in the IAU series Highlights of Astronomy, Volume 15 by the Cambridge University Press, with the General Secretary as the Editor-in-Chief. The editors for the proceedings of the Joint Discussion will be Margarida S. Cunha, Michael M. Dworetsky, and Barry Smalley.

Given the strong page limitation imposed (a total of 30 pages for our JD), there will be no proceedings of individual contributions (being it oral or posters). Instead, the proceedings will include only three articles, of 10 pages each. The articles will be organized in such a way as to summarize the highlights of each session. The leading author of each article will be defined prior to the IAU-GA. All of those effectively contributing to the writing of a given article will be co-authors.

All Joint Discussion Authors have to deliver their completed manuscripts to the Joint Discussion Editors before or during the meeting. Authors may be allowed to submit a revised version of their manuscript to the Joint Discussion Editors before the end of September 2009.
