Download or read book Starsdown written by Jasper Bernes and published by In Girum Imus Nocte Et Consumimur Igni. This book was released on 2007 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Jasper Bernes's magnificent and multi-layered first book, STARSDOWN, emerges as a record of Los Angeles as its physical space collapses into specters and marks, where "the sky is a swimming pool" and the signs and stars keep switching places. Beneath the glittering surface of the last American city, this book animates the profusion of irreconcilable vernaculars and histories that the city's "pastel-washed meta-burglaries" have contrived to make disappear. An archaeology of futures past and futures to come, STARSDOWN improvises a poetry which stands finally as actual invention and possibility.

Book Synopsis Variable Stars in Globular Clusters and in Related Systems by : J.D. Fernie
Download or read book Variable Stars in Globular Clusters and in Related Systems written by J.D. Fernie and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the papers and discussions at IAU Colloquium No. 21 on Variable Stars in Globular Clusters and in Related Systems held in Toronto on the 29th, 30th and 31st August 1972. It was the intention of the organizers that this meeting should honour the life long work in this field of Professor Helen Sawyer Hogg. She has been continuously active in observational research on variables in globular clusters for 46 years and her catalogues and bibliographies as well as her research papers, review articles and IA U reports as chairman of the committee on variable stars in clusters are of fundamental importance to all workers in this field. The scope of the colloquium covered both observational and theoretical aspects of the problem, including the relationship of variables to non-variable cluster members, the position of the variables in the HR diagram and their importance for problems of stellar evolution, empirical data on the variables, periods and period changes, and the relevant parts of pulsation theory. The meeting was particularly successful in bringing together observers and theorists. It will have achieved its object if it has shown both observers and theorists which are the problems most suitable for attack at the present time. The meeting clearly demonstrated the great importance of research on variables in globular clusters and related systems for our understanding both of stellar evolution and stellar pulsation.

Book Synopsis Pulsation, Rotation and Mass Loss in Early-Type Stars by : Luis A. Balona
Download or read book Pulsation, Rotation and Mass Loss in Early-Type Stars written by Luis A. Balona and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Symposium, researchers specializing in pulsation, rotation, magnetic fields and stellar winds are brought together for the first time in order to broaden our understanding of O and B stars. Thanks to advances in digital spectroscopy, new types of pulsating B stars have been discovered. The pulsations can be understood in terms of the recent revision of metal opacities, but the effects of rapid rotation and magnetic fields need further study. Observations in the UV and X-ray regions demonstrate that many B and Be stars show other activity, besides pulsation which is not yet understood. The reason for the enhanced mass loss in Be stars is a question which dominates the Symposium and which remains unanswered, although it is surely to be found in activity at or near the photosphere coupled with rotation. It is shown that the geometry of the circumstellar envelopes around Be stars is indeed a flattened disk as they can now be optically resolved. The variability of radiatively-driven winds from O and B stars are likely related to the rotation of the star. This underlines the central theme of the book: that the various phenomena seen in these stars cannot be studied in isolation.
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 The Impact of Long-Term Monitoring on Variable Star Research by : C. Sterken
Download or read book The Impact of Long-Term Monitoring on Variable Star Research written by C. Sterken and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-term monitoring is of fundamental significance in solving many important problems in astrophysics and, furthermore, has unequalled value in extending observational runs with small telescopes for the education of young astronomers in order to teach them how to secure high-quality observational data over many years. The Impact of Long-Term Monitoring on Variable Star Research contains reports based on the analysis of data collected in the visible, IR and radio measurement ranges, as well as the design and history of well known photometric systems. Though the reporting of novel results forms an important part of the book, there are also reports of eight discussion sessions covering more general areas, such as extinction monitoring, the problems of archival storage of astronomical data, service observation, the role played by long-term monitoring in graduate teaching and thesis supervision, the interplay between the great observational effort and theory, the contribution of LTM to new knowledge of fundamental data, and the increasing decommissioning of telescopes of modest aperture.
Book Synopsis Petroglyphs and the Stars in Northumberland by : P. F. Tullet
Download or read book Petroglyphs and the Stars in Northumberland written by P. F. Tullet and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cup and ring petroglyphs are found widely in Northumberland, Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Spain, Portugal and further afield across the globe. They are mysterious and beautiful objects of art in the landscape, but, as this book explains, they are much more than that. Nine petroglyph sites in Northumberland are examined here, and are shown to have depicted the night sky above them in the Neolithic era to a high degree of accuracy. This opens up a whole new field of study because, together, the Northumberland petroglyphs make up a star atlas. Decoding them is likely to yield valuable astronomical information about the sky 4,500 years ago. This book provides the relevant astronomical background and explains carefully how these petroglyph motifs can be deciphered. It will be of interest to astronomers, archaeologists, conservationists of ancient monuments, and particularly to amateurs who would like a field guide on how to interpret the messages on these rocks for themselves.
