Extrasolar Planets
Av Juan Antonio Aparicio, Hans Deeg m. fl.
Häftad, 2012
667 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This 2007 volume presents the lectures from the sixteenth Winter School of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, which was dedicated to extrasolar planets. Research into extrasolar planets is one of the most exciting fields of astrophysics, and the past decade has seen a research leap from …
The Cosmic Microwave Background
From Quantum Fluctuations to the Present Universe
Av Jose Alberto Rubiňo-Martin, Rafael Rebolo m. fl.
Inbunden, 2009
1498 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This volume presents the lectures of the nineteenth Canary Islands Winter School, dedicated to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This relict radiation from the very early Universe provides a fundamental tool for precision cosmology. Prestigious researchers in the field present a comprehensive …
3D Spectroscopy in Astronomy
Av Evencio Mediavilla, Santiago Arribas m. fl.
Inbunden, 2010
2247 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Simultaneously storing both spectral and spatial information, 3D spectroscopy offers a new way to tackle astrophysical problems, and opens up new lines of research. Since its inception in the eighties and early nineties, research in this field has grown enormously. Large telescopes all around the …
The Emission-Line Universe
Av Jordi Cepa
Inbunden, 2008
2149 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Emission lines provide a powerful tool to study the physical properties and chemical compositions of astrophysical objects in the Universe, from the first stars to objects in our galaxy. The analysis of emission lines allows us to estimate the star formation rate and initial mass function of …
Local Group Cosmology
Av David Martínez-Delgado
Inbunden, 2013
1644 kr
Lägg i varukorg
One of the most fascinating unresolved problems of modern astrophysics is how the galaxies we observe today were formed. The Lambda-Cold Dark Matter paradigm predicts that large spiral galaxies such as the Milky Way formed through accretion and tidal disruption of satellite galaxies. The galaxies …
Asteroseismology
Av Pere L. Pallé, César Esteban
Inbunden, 2014
1609 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Our understanding of stars has grown significantly due to recent advances in asteroseismology, the stellar analog of helioseismology, the study of the Sun's acoustic wave oscillations. Using ground-based and satellite observatories to measure the frequency spectra of starlight, researchers are able …
Accretion Processes in Astrophysics
Av Ignacio González Martínez-País, Tariq Shahbaz m. fl.
Inbunden, 2014
1609 kr
Lägg i varukorg
It has been more than fifty years since the first significant paper on accretion flows was written. In recent years, X-ray satellites capable of identifying accretion disks and radiation jets - indications that accretion has taken place - have significantly advanced our understanding of these …
Astrophysical Applications of Gravitational Lensing
Av Evencio Mediavilla, Jose A. Muñoz m. fl.
Inbunden, 2016
1905 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Gravitational lenses offer the best, and sometimes the only, means of tackling key problems in many fields of astrophysics and cosmology. According to Einstein's theory, the curvature of light-rays increases with mass; gravitational lenses can be used to map the distribution of mass in a Universe …
Cosmic Magnetic Fields
Av Jorge Sánchez Almeida, María Jesús Martínez González
Inbunden, 2018
2312 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Magnetic fields pervade the universe and play an important role in many astrophysical processes. However, they require specialised observational tools, and are challenging to model and understand. This volume provides a unified view of magnetic fields across astrophysical and cosmological contexts, …
Bayesian Astrophysics
Av Andrés Asensio Ramos, Íñigo Arregui
Inbunden, 2018
2312 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Bayesian methods are being increasingly employed in many different areas of research in the physical sciences. In astrophysics, models are used to make predictions to be compared to observations. These observations offer information that is incomplete and uncertain, so the comparison has to be …
High Time-Resolution Astrophysics
Av Tariq Shahbaz, Jorge Casares Velázquez m. fl.
Inbunden, 2018
2199 kr
Lägg i varukorg
High time-resolution astrophysics (HTRA) involves measuring and studying astronomical phenomena on timescales of seconds to milliseconds. Although many areas of astronomy, such as X-ray astronomy and pulsar observations, have traditionally required high time-resolution studies, HTRA techniques are …
