Scientific Bodies

As an effective means to promote progress in the main areas of Astronomy, the scientific work of the IAU is structured through its 9 Divisions, 38 Commissions, and 48 Working Groups. The IAU also hosts under the auspices of Division F, the Minor Planet Center.  In the past the IAU also had Program Groups (or equivalent).
