Chiron bibliography

This page gives a list of bibliographical references about Chiron. The references were collected from a variety of sources. Every reference was modified to obtain a uniform list. Each reference consists of several fields:

TI: title of paper, book or proceedings

  AU: author(s)
  JN: journal name
  VO: volume number
  PG: page(s)
  PD: publication date
  PU: publisher
  CT: conference title
  CD: conference date
  CP: conference place
  LA: language
  DT: document type
  DE: descriptor(s)
  DB: presence in database (ADS, Cunningham, INSPEC, Uncover, own)

The references are in chronological order of date of publication. In principle all are fields repeatable. If a field is repeated, its repetitions are separated with a semicolon (for example, list of authors). It was tried to keep the list of descriptors short. The list of descriptors being used is given below.

This bibliography is not static! Some of the references have 'own' in the DB-field. These are references that I found myself and that are (not yet) "resolved" by online databases. If the reference is found through such other source(s), it is indicated in which database(s) the reference occurs This opens possibilities to study the quality and completeness of bibliographic databases. A statistical overview gives the number of papers per year and per database .

New references are put in a separate page as I discover them. The long list will be updated with these new references only from time to time. Errors will be removed, fields will be completed, etc... as necessary.

Please DO send me any information you think I am not aware of.
