The Composition of Matter Symposium honouring Johannes Geiss on the occasion of his 80th birthday

This volume consists of papers developed from a joint ACE/ISSI symposium on the "Composition of Matter" honoring the occasion of Johannes Geiss's 80th birthday. The reader will find new insights into the composition of solar-system and galactic matter and fractionation processes affec...
