Quintic abelian fields are characterized in terms of their conductor and a certain Galois group. From these, a generating polynomial and its roots and an integral basis are computed. A method for finding the fundamental units, regulators and class numbers is then developed. Tables listing the coefficients of a generating polynomial, the regulator, the class number, and a coefficients of a fundamental unit are given for 1527 quintic abelian fields. Of the seven cases where the class group structure is not immediate from the class number, six have their structure computed. / Ph. D.
