Below is a list of papers that I and students have collected over the
years. If you're searching for a paper, check this list first.
The following format is used: each paper is titled by the leading
author's last name and year of publication; if there are more than one
paper for that author and year, the suffixes a, b, c, etc.
are used.
Copies of many of these papers may be available online:
We have full access to the electronic version of Icarus at
IDEAL which
has all of the issues back to 1993 (I think that they may be adding back issues as they have time).
Full articles can be downloaded in PDF format.
The library has Icarus up to 1988, and they began getting it again
in 1996(?), so there is a gap where we have to order papers through interlibrary loan.
Another extremely useful site is the
The NASA Astrophysics Data System
which has a searchable database of abstracts (and sometimes full text articles
in postscript or PDF format)
covering all of astrophysics (and other areas of physics as well).
For really up-to-date information, the
Icarus website lists papers that have been submitted every month. They also
give the email address of one of the authors who can be contacted for a preprint.
In most cases, authors are more than willing to supply you (either electronically or
regular mail) with a preprint.
