Everyone is welcome to post references here, be they papers they think seminal, on technique or science, or papers they they found just very interesting. Best to post links rather than actual pdf files (and the link to astro-ph if it is a conference paper please!).

Conferences

There was an IAC summer school on IFS in 2005 (web-site here) and in the publication there will be many useful treatises on the subject. The lectures are apparently not yet in press but keep your eye out for it. A summary of the school with useful information (not just advertising) has been produced as a pdf file.
