Book Synopsis An Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics by : Francis LeBlanc
Download or read book An Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics written by Francis LeBlanc and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics aspires to provide the reader with an intermediate knowledge on stars whilst focusing mostly on the explanation of the functioning of stars by using basic physical concepts and observational results. The book is divided into seven chapters, featuring both core and optional content: Basic concepts Stellar Formation Radiative Transfer in Stars Stellar Atmospheres Stellar Interiors Nucleosynthesis and Stellar Evolution and Chemically Peculiar Stars and Diffusion. Student-friendly features include: Detailed examples to help the reader better grasp the most important concepts A list of exercises is given at the end of each chapter and answers to a selection of these are presented. Brief recalls of the most important physical concepts needed to properly understand stars. A summary for each chapter Optional and advanced sections are included which may be skipped without interfering with the flow of the core content. This book is designed to cover the most important aspects of stellar astrophysics inside a one semester (or half-year) course and as such is relevant for advanced undergraduate students following a first course on stellar astrophysics, in physics or astronomy programs. It will also serve as a basic reference for a full-year course as well as for researchers working in related fields.

Book Synopsis Astrophysics is Easy! by : Mike Inglis
Download or read book Astrophysics is Easy! written by Mike Inglis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-07-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astrophysics is often - with some justification - regarded as incomprehensible without at least degree-level mathematics. Consequently, many amateur astronomers skip the math, and miss out on the fascinating fundamentals of the subject. In Astrophysics Is Easy! Mike Inglis takes a quantitative approach to astrophysics that cuts through the incomprehensible mathematics, and explains the basics of astrophysics in accessible terms. The reader can view objects under discussion with commercial amateur equipment.

Book Synopsis Introductory Astronomy by : Keith Holliday
Download or read book Introductory Astronomy written by Keith Holliday and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1999-01-26 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introductory Astronomy is a lucidly written introduction to theplanets, the stars and beyond. Starting with problems astronomersface on Earth connected with observation, the text then moves on tocover the Solar System, stars, galaxies and finally cosmology. Theevolution and internal workings of astronomical bodies areoutlined, demystifying arcane entities such as black holes andwhite dwarfs in the process. Carefully structured, this test has astrong narrative thread running throughout and concepts aregradually introduced, and subsequently built upon in laterchapters. The science behind the subject is integrated andpresented in a way that enables the reader to gain a thoroughunderstanding of the subject without blinding them with unnecessarymathematical detail or scientific theory. Astronomy is brought tolife through the many carefully chosen examples, figures andphotographs. Introductory Astronomy: * Provides a balanced introduction to the field of astronomy. * Includes many carefully chosen worked examples andproblems. * Is clearly written to appeal to students and amateur astronomersalike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: to the Second Edition The development of astronomy in the last ten years has been nothing short of explosive. This second edition of The New Cosmos, considerably revised and enlarged, tries to share this development with its readers. Let us mention a few key words: from mo on landings, planetary probes, aild continental drift through pulsars, X-ray and y-ray sources, interstellar molecules, quasars, and the structure and evolution of stars and stellar systems right up to cosmological models. As before, the most important task of this book is to give a not too difficult introduction to present-day astronomy and astrophysics, both to the student of astronomy and to the specialist from a neighboring discipline. We therefore draw to the attention of the reader, as an essential part of our description, the numerous illustrations-many of them new-and their detailed captions. As far as possible we link a description of important observations with basic features of the theory. On the other hand, when it comes to detail we often content ourselves with abrief description, leaving the detailed explanation to the specialist literature. The transition to the specialist literature should be eased by the Bibliography at the end of the book. Important new investigations are noted in the text by their year, not so much for historical reasons as to enable the original work to be found in the Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts (1969 on).

Book Synopsis High Energy Astrophysics by : Thierry J.-L. Courvoisier
Download or read book High Energy Astrophysics written by Thierry J.-L. Courvoisier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-03 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-energy astrophysics has unveiled a Universe very different from that only known from optical observations. It has revealed many types of objects in which typical variability timescales are as short as years, months, days, and hours (in quasars, X-ray binaries, etc), and even down to milli-seconds in gamma ray bursts. The sources of energy that are encountered are only very seldom nuclear fusion, and most of the time gravitation, a paradox when one thinks that gravitation is, by many orders of magnitude, the weakest of the fundamental interactions. The understanding of these objects' physical conditions and the processes revealed by high-energy astrophysics in the last decades is nowadays part of astrophysicists' culture, even of those active in other domains of astronomy. This book evolved from lectures given to master and PhD students at the University of Geneva since the early 1990s. It aims at providing astronomers and physicists intending to be active in high-energy astrophysics a broad basis on which they should be able to build the more specific knowledge they will need. While in the first part of the book the physical processes are described and derived in detail, the second part studies astrophysical objects in which high-energy astrophysics processes are crucial. This two-pronged approach will help students recognise physical processes by their observational signatures in contexts that may differ widely from those presented here.

Book Synopsis Astronomy and Astrophysics by : S. Joardar
Download or read book Astronomy and Astrophysics written by S. Joardar and published by Jones & Bartlett Learning. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed for upper division courses in astronomy and as a reference for science professionals. The subject areas of astronomy and astrophysics have grown tremendously during the last few decades. New developments in radio astronomy and recent data retrieved from NASAs Hubble Space Telescope have resulted in many discoveries and created new interest in the study of the universe. Using four-color throughout, Astronomy & Astrophysics describes the different techniques and instruments employed in the study of the universe and the results obtained with discussion on both theory and observation. The book covers topics such as, minor planets, radio astronomy, astronomical telescopes, measurement of solar brightness distribution, black holes, and the Einstein effect. A CD-ROM with color figures and simulations accompanies the book.
