Cosmic Explosions in Three Dimensions
Asymmetries in Supernovae and Gamma-Ray Bursts
Av Peter Höflich, Pawan Kumar m. fl.
Inbunden, 2004
2534 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Supernovae and gamma-ray bursts are the strongest explosions in the Universe. Observations show that, rather than being symmetrical, they are driven by strong jets of energy and other asymmetrical effects. These observations demand theories and computations that challenge the biggest computers. …

Path to Singularity
How Technology Will Challenge the Future of Humanity
Inbunden, 2024
366 kr
Lägg i varukorg
J. Craig Wheeler, a leading astrophysicist and former president of the American Astronomical Society, argues that we must take charge of our technology now, before we lose the ability to control it, which many estimate will happen around 2040, if not sooner. He reviews today’s technology in crucial …

ACCRETION DISKS IN COMPACT STELLAR SYSTEMS
Av J C WHEELER, J Craig Wheeler
Inbunden, 1993
2661 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Accretion disks in compact stellar systems containing white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes are the principal laboratory for understanding the role of accretion disks in a wide variety of environments from proto-stars to quasars. Recent work on disk instabilities and dynamics has given a new …
