Pro-Am collaborations in Planetary Astronomy – review paper

Mousis O., et al., 2013, arXiv:1305.3647
Instrumental Methods for Professional and Amateur Collaborations in Planetary Astronomy

This is a great collective work on various professional-amateur collaborations (written by both professionals and amateurs) regarding aspects of Planetary Astronomy, such as: terrestial planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars), gaseous planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Poseidon), interstellar dust (meteoroids, meteors, fireballs, meteorites), Jupiter impacts, Lunar flashes, asteroids, comets, Kuiper belt objects and Centaurs, exoplanets.

I find it a really inspiring paper for both kinds! I hope that we will see more of these collaborations in the future, since the is a continuous advance in amateur contributions to Astronomy during the last decades.
