June 5th, 2001 - Pasadena, California
The year 2001 marks the 35th anniversary of the publication by the American Astronomical Society, Caltech, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington of Halton Arp's "Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies", which opened a new domain in our understanding of the morphology and evolution of galaxies. Over the past decades advances in observational techniques and instrumentation have enabled us to unambiguously establish the profound importance of galaxy interactions in both the local and high redshift universe. We propose to use this AAS topical session as a venue in which to review those recent observational results and stimulate discussion on how we can better address pertinent questions using the new facilities (such as Gemini, SIRTF, SOFIA, ALMA and the expanded VLA) which are becoming available in the coming years.
