Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
Av Harm J. Habing, Hans Olofsson
Inbunden, 2003
1752 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book deals with stars during a short episode before they undergo a ma jor, and fatal, transition. Soon the star will stop releasing nudear energy, it will become a planetary nebula for abrief but poetic moment, and then it will turn into a white dwarf and slowly fade out of sight. Just before …

Thirty-threeyears have passed since the ?rst edition of Astrophysical Concepts - peared. During this time astrophysics has undergone major revolutions. We have gained new perspectives on the Universe with the aid of powerful gamma-ray,- ray, and infrared telescopes, whose sensitivitiescould not …
Magneto-Fluid Dynamics
Fundamentals and Case Studies of Natural Phenomena
Av Paul Lorrain, Francois Lorrain m. fl.
Inbunden, 2006
1643 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) concerns the interaction between magnetic fields and conducting fluids. We are concerned here with macroscopic inter actions and, when the conducting fluid is a plasma, time scales are very much longer than the plasma period. Plasma periods vary widely, but are short, …
