The wide popularity of astronomy has made sci.astro a very active newsgroup, with a substantial daily bandwidth of articles on diverse topics.  However, the charter of sci.astro makes it difficult for researchers in astronomy/astrophysics to use it as an effective research tool. There is a relatively small "signal-to-noise" ratio of  postings that are of relevance to the activities of astronomical research. In addition, sci.astro is also subject to its share of abuse by  (cross)posting of articles of minimal or imaginary relevance to  astronomy and astrophysics. Thus, the reaction of many research  astronomers to sci.astro has been to avoid it entirely. This has  an adverse effect on the timely and widespread dissemination of  information and related discussion of astrophysical phenomena  (such as supernovae and other transient events) to the astrophysics  research community and serious amateur astronmers who help to provide important monitoring of these events. Of course, the role of sci.astro is not to provide an exclusive forum for research, however, the  present condition of sci.astro greatly inhibits the involvement of the astronomical research community.  Informal discussion about creation of a moderated subgroup of sci.astro has recently appeared in sci.astro and by e-mail.  There was general support for the creation of such a group,  provided that it did not adversely effect the interaction between  amateur and professional astronomers. There was particularly  strong support for a moderated subgroup voiced by professional  and academic astronomers.  The following serves as the formal Request for Discussion (RFD) on the  creation of the moderated newsgroup sci.astro.research.    CHARTER -------  Name:    sci.astro.research  Summary: Discussion of astronomy/astrophysics research & related          topics and information.  Status:  Moderated.  Moderator:  Martin Sulkanen ([email protected]) Backup Mod: Michael V. Newberry ([email protected])   The purpose of this newsgroup is the discussion of astronomy &  astrophysics research, and the dissemination of information  related to astronomy & astrophysics research. Postings appropriate for sci.astro.research would include (but does not exclusively consist of) : (i) inquiries or discussions  about specific current or historical research, or (ii) of  research-related topics (observing equipment, computational techniques & software, catalogs, textbooks, journals, references,  etc.), (iii) observations of astrophysical phenomena of interest to  researchers (novae, supernovae, variable stars, high-energy  sources, extragalactic astronomy, planetary astronomy, etc.),  (iv) announcement of recent publications submitted to refereed  journals or of collections of such publications received as  preprints, (v) announcement of future conferences & workshops,  proposal or grant announcments of opportunity, and (vi) general scientific news relevant to astronomy & astrophysics.  The moderator will have relatively broad powers to determine postings that are appropriate for the newsgroup. However, there are some basic principles that the moderator will adhere to:    1.  Postings will be judged on their relevancy to scientific       research in astronomy and astrophysics. For example,       inquiries such as "what are AM Her stars and can one       make useful optical observations of them?" are likely       to be deemed within the realm of this newsgroup, while       those such as "will the sun blow up one day?" are likely       to be redirected to sci.astro. The criterion is *not*       the credentials of the author (contributions by        amateurs are encouraged), but the relevance of the        post to research issues.      2.  Controversial topics and issues in research can be       addressed, provided that they are discussed with       scientific rigor and rationale; "because I say so"       speculations will be redirected to sci.astro.     3.  "Unverified" astronomical observations will be posted with       a disclaimer regarding the reliability of the observation.        A verified observation is defined as one that has been       checked and is certified for accuracy by the supporting       institution (eg. bulletin from an observatory, research       organization, etc.) It is hoped that posts of the       unverified observations will serve as a source for        other observers for further investigation or for        astronomical organizations as a source of additional       data for research programs, subject to their *own*       verification.     4.  Personal attacks, crossposts irrelevant to astrophysics/       astronomy research, commercial advertisements, political        discussions, or posts originating from addresses that        cannot receive e-mail will be rejected.   It is planned to archive the contributions to this newsgroup and provide a connection to this archive through Mosaic and anonymous ftp. A FAQ, covering the moderation philosophy and other administrivia, will be posted monthly by the moderator.   Summary -------  The newsgroup sci.astro.research is being proposed to provide effective and rapid communication within usenet of research activities in astronomy and astrophysics. Submissions from all realms of astronomy of postings relevant to research  activities within astronomy/astrophysics are encouraged.  Contribution of professional/research personel to sci.astro is now primarily feedback to amateur and enthusiast inquiries concerning general topics in astronomy. Contributions to sci.astro by these readers is likely to continue with the existence of sci.astro.research. Furthermore, the newsgroup sci.astro.research is likely to expand the level of participation by researchers on sci.astro.  This group is proposed as moderated in order to limit the  contributions to the newsgroup to research issues, and to provide a level of quality reflective of a scientific research newsgroup. Particular attention will be paid by  the moderator to include contributions by amateur and  professional alike, but requiring that posts be relevant  to astronomy/astrophysics research issues.  It is planned to archive the posted contributions to this newsgroup.    This first RFD is being submitted on 28 February 1994 to the following newsgroups:              news.groups             news.announce.newgroups             sci.astro             sci.physics             sci.physics.research             sci.space.science  This RFD may be distibuted freely to other relevant newsgroups or  maillists, provided the followup line (to news.groups) is unaltered.  Note that discussion regarding this RFD should be conducted only in news.groups!   The CFV is expected to be posted within 30 days of the posting of this RFD from news.announce.newgroups, and is planned to be conducted by a Usenet Volunteer Votetaker. The CFV will be posted to the same newsgroups listed above.
