Dear fellow Locater,
 
You will find below my summer collection of references for August 2026.
It is subdivided into the modest 29 most recent references from 2023-2026 (midsummer is also quiet on the publication front) and  71 earlier ones all of 2017.
The attached BibTeX file contains as usual the full 100 item August collection.
Enjoy,
Sincerely
Frank Plastria
