Wide Range

Leon Mestel was best known for his wide-ranging work on cosmic magnetism, but he also worked on an equally wide range of non-magnetic problems in astrophysics, from star and galaxy formation to white dwarf cooling. Despite his work being primarily theoretical and highly mathematical, he was always aware of all the relevant observational data that both needed to be explained and also provided constraints for his theoretical models. He was internationally recognized as an authority on the influence of magnetic fields in astronomy, receiving a number of significant honours. He also had a deserved reputation for scrupulous honesty and integrity in his work. His life's work culminated in the publication of two editions of a magisterial monograph on stellar magnetism. He collaborated widely, influenced many other researchers and was in great demand as a conference speaker. He was also a conscientious academic, taking his full part in departmental teaching and administration, and a delightful companion and friend to all who knew him. He was well known for his many stories and jokes, which were widely enjoyed. His outside interests included being a long-standing member of the Editorial Board of this publication, Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society .

Full Classification

In this brief paper, I review my 10 years as the Editor of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A . I look at the content of the journal over the years, relating it to a full classification of the physical sciences based on the interests of fellows and research fellows of the Royal Society. I show that the journal has performed well in terms of downloads, citations and impact factors. Innovations such as the Millennium and Christmas Issues for young scientists have stimulated a close and enjoyable interaction with the Society's research fellows. In addition to authoring papers and organizing themes, they have always been keen to help with the refereeing processes. They provided exciting demonstrations for a Summer Science exhibit that I organized to highlight the work of the journal, and five of the research fellows now sit on the Editorial Board. Looking to the future, I describe the new subject clusters that are being introduced as the journal steps up its publication rate from one issue per month to two, starting in January 2008.
