Since 1988 the AG publishes the Reviews in Modern Astronomy (RMA) featuring the key note and highlight talks given at the Society's meetings as well as presenting the abstracts of talks or posters on scientific research.
They are devoted exclusively to the invited Reviews, the Karl Schwarzschild Lecture, the Ludwig Biermann Award Lecture, and the highlight contributions from leading scientists reporting on recent progress and scientific achievements at their respective institutes.
