Type Ia Supernovae
Theory and Cosmology
Av J. C. Niemeyer, J. W. Truran
Häftad, 2010
667 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Observations of distant supernovae have provided startling evidence that the expansion of the Universe may be accelerating, rather than decelerating. If this result is verified by future studies, it has profound implications for cosmology. The reliability of this finding and its implications for …
Theory of Black Hole Accretion Discs
Av Marek A. Abramowicz, Gunnlaugur Björnsson m. fl.
Häftad, 2010
876 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This authoritative volume was the first to present a comprehensive review of our new understanding of accretion disks around black holes. Interest in black hole accretion disks has undergone a renaissance in recent years because of developments in three complementary areas: theoretical modelling of …
Cosmochemistry
The Melting Pot of the Elements
Av Csar Esteban, C. Esteban m. fl.
Häftad, 2011
764 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The chemical composition of the Universe has evolved over billions of years. A host of astrophysical processes and observations must be understood in order to explain why celestial objects have the chemical compositions observed. Originally published in 2004, this book contains the lectures …
Stellar Astrophysics for the Local Group
VIII Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics
Av A. Aparicio, A. Herrero m. fl.
Häftad, 2011
911 kr
Lägg i varukorg
With the advent of large, ground-based telescopes and space telescopes, it is now possible to study in detail stars outside our galaxy - in neighbouring galaxies in the so-called Local Group. The VIII Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics gathered leading experts from around the world to …
Structure Formation in Astrophysics
Häftad, 2011
716 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Understanding the formation of objects at all scales in the universe, from galaxy clusters to stars and planets, is a major problem in modern astrophysics, and one of the most exciting challenges of twenty-first century astronomy. Even though they are characterized by different scales, the …
X-ray Polarimetry
A New Window in Astrophysics
Av Ronaldo Bellazzini, Enrico Costa m. fl.
Inbunden, 2010
2279 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Due to the advent of a new generation of detectors, X-ray polarimetry promises to join X-ray imaging, spectroscopy and timing as one of the main observational techniques in high energy astrophysics. This has renewed interest in the field, and indeed several polarimetric missions have recently been …
AGN Feedback in Galaxy Formation
Av Vincenzo Antonuccio-Delogu, Joseph Silk
Inbunden, 2010
1286 kr
Lägg i varukorg
During the past decade, convincing evidence has been accumulated concerning the effect of active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity on the internal and external environment of their host galaxies. Featuring contributions from well-respected researchers in the field, and bringing together work by …

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. …
The Metal-Rich Universe
Av Garik Israelian, Georges Meynet
Inbunden, 2008
2671 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Metal-rich stars accumulate their metals from previous generations of stars, and so contain the history of their galaxy. By studying these stars we can gain valuable insights into how metals change the formation and evolution of stars, and explain the extraordinary massive star populations observed …
