Abstract
We review the discussions of the Third International Symposium on Double Layers in Laboratory and Space Plasmas. This symposium was held at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, March 17-19, 1986. The symposium emphasized the applications of double layers in various astrophysical settings. Although the proceedings of the symposium will be published elsewhere, we give the main points of all of the discussions in this report. We also pass along a resolution which was adopted at the symposium to standardize the electrical circuit symbol for a double layer.Keywords
