Book Synopsis Massive Stars in Starbursts by : Claus Leitherer
Download or read book Massive Stars in Starbursts written by Claus Leitherer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-05-16 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the importance of massive stars in several areas of astrophysics. Massive stars are objects that are 10-100 times the mass of our Sun. Above ten solar masses, loss through stellar winds begins to have a major impact on the evolution of a star. The upper limit of 100 solar masses is derived from observations. Significant progress has now been achieved in massive star research. New models, along with high quality observations, have improved our understanding of the formation, structure, atmosphere, and evolution of these massive objects. They are formed in violent bursts of star formation and are probably related to the phenomena observed in active galactic nuclei. The workshop at the Space Telescope Science Institute examined the interplay between the astrophysics of massive stars and their location in extragalactic starburst regions. There are eighteen chapters by leading researchers. Each has been carefully edited to ensure that the book is a comprehensive introduction to the theory and observation of massive stars in starburst regions.

Book Synopsis Very Massive Stars in the Local Universe by : Jorick S. Vink
Download or read book Very Massive Stars in the Local Universe written by Jorick S. Vink and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-25 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the status of research on very massive stars in the Universe. While it has been claimed that stars with over 100 solar masses existed in the very early Universe, recent studies have also discussed the existence and deaths of stars up to 300 solar masses in the local Universe. This represents a paradigm shift for the stellar upper-mass limit, which may have major implications far beyond the field of stellar physics. The book comprises 7 chapters, which describe this discipline and provide sufficient background and introductory content for graduate (PhD) students and researchers from different branches of astronomy to be able to enter this exciting new field of very massive stars.

Book Synopsis Understanding Stellar Evolution by : Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers
Download or read book Understanding Stellar Evolution written by Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Understanding Stellar Evolution' is based on a series of graduate-level courses taught at the University of Washington since 2004, and is written for physics and astronomy students and for anyone with a physics background who is interested in stars. It describes the structure and evolution of stars, with emphasis on the basic physical principles and the interplay between the different processes inside stars such as nuclear reactions, energy transport, chemical mixing, pulsation, mass loss, and rotation. Based on these principles, the evolution of low- and high-mass stars is explained from their formation to their death. In addition to homework exercises for each chapter, the text contains a large number of questions that are meant to stimulate the understanding of the physical principles. An extensive set of accompanying lecture slides is available for teachers in both Keynote(R) and PowerPoint(R) formats.
Book Synopsis New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics by : National Research Council
Download or read book New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-04 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by discoveries, and enabled by leaps in technology and imagination, our understanding of the universe has changed dramatically during the course of the last few decades. The fields of astronomy and astrophysics are making new connections to physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science. Based on a broad and comprehensive survey of scientific opportunities, infrastructure, and organization in a national and international context, New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics outlines a plan for ground- and space- based astronomy and astrophysics for the decade of the 2010's. Realizing these scientific opportunities is contingent upon maintaining and strengthening the foundations of the research enterprise including technological development, theory, computation and data handling, laboratory experiments, and human resources. New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics proposes enhancing innovative but moderate-cost programs in space and on the ground that will enable the community to respond rapidly and flexibly to new scientific discoveries. The book recommends beginning construction on survey telescopes in space and on the ground to investigate the nature of dark energy, as well as the next generation of large ground-based giant optical telescopes and a new class of space-based gravitational observatory to observe the merging of distant black holes and precisely test theories of gravity. New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics recommends a balanced and executable program that will support research surrounding the most profound questions about the cosmos. The discoveries ahead will facilitate the search for habitable planets, shed light on dark energy and dark matter, and aid our understanding of the history of the universe and how the earliest stars and galaxies formed. The book is a useful resource for agencies supporting the field of astronomy and astrophysics, the Congressional committees with jurisdiction over those agencies, the scientific community, and the public.
Book Synopsis Communications in Asteroseismology, 2009 by : Michael Breger
Download or read book Communications in Asteroseismology, 2009 written by Michael Breger and published by Austrian Academy of Sciences. This book was released on 2009 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This colloquium was the 38th Li'ege International Astrophysical Colloquium (38thLIAC -http://www.ago.ulg.ac.be/APub/Colloques/Liac38) it was also held under the auspices of the European Helio- and Asteroseismology Network (HELAS - http://www.helas-eu.org/), the CoRoT Evolution and Seismic Tools Activity (CoRoT/ESTA - http://www.astro.up.pt/esta/) and the Belgian Asteroseismology Group (BAG - http://www.asteroseismology.be). The first part of the conference was devoted to the internal structure of massive stars with session 1 dealing with the theoretical aspects of non standard physical processes while session 2 presented the challenges met in stellar modelling when introducing these physical processes. Session 3 was a state of the art in atmospheres, mass loss and stellar winds in massive stars. Session 4 presented the pulsation observations in massive stars while session 5 discussed the asteroseismic signatures of the physical processes involved in their internal structure. A final session 6 was essentially focused on the interpretation of the asteroseismic observations of ground-based, MOST and CoRoT targets.
Book Synopsis Luminous Stars in Nearby Galaxies by : Roberta M. Humphreys
Download or read book Luminous Stars in Nearby Galaxies written by Roberta M. Humphreys and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies on the populations of luminous stars in nearby resolved galaxies have revealed a complex distribution in the luminosity–temperature plane (the HR diagram). The fundamentals of massive star evolution are mostly understood, but the roles of mass loss, episodic mass loss, rotation, and binarity are still in question. Moreover, the final stages of these stars of different masses and their possible relation to each other are not understood. The purpose of this volume is to provide a current review of the different populations of evolved massive stars. The emphasis is on massive stars in the Local Group, the Magellanic Clouds, and the nearby spirals M31 and M33.
