Book Synopsis Chemical Evolution of Galaxies by : Francesca Matteucci
Download or read book Chemical Evolution of Galaxies written by Francesca Matteucci and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term “chemical evolution of galaxies” refers to the evolution of abundances of chemical species in galaxies, which is due to nuclear processes occurring in stars and to gas flows into and out of galaxies. This book deals with the chemical evolution of galaxies of all morphological types (ellipticals, spirals and irregulars) and stresses the importance of the star formation histories in determining the properties of stellar populations in different galaxies. The topic is approached in a didactical and logical manner via galaxy evolution models which are compared with observational results obtained in the last two decades: The reader is given an introduction to the concept of chemical abundances and learns about the main stellar populations in our Galaxy as well as about the classification of galaxy types and their main observables. In the core of the book, the construction and solution of chemical evolution models are discussed in detail, followed by descriptions and interpretations of observations of the chemical evolution of the Milky Way, spheroidal galaxies, irregular galaxies and of cosmic chemical evolution. The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to students as well as to amend our present ideas in research; the book also summarizes the efforts made by authors in the past several years in order to further future research in the field.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based partly on a. lecture course given at the University of Tri este, but mostly on my own research experience in the field of galactic chemical evolution. The subject of galactic chemical evolution was started and developed by Beat rice Tinsley in the seventies and now is a flourishing subject. This book is dedi cated to the chemical evolution of our Galaxy and aims at giving an up-to-date review of what we have learned since Tinsley's pioneering efforts. At the time of writing, in fact, books of this kind were not available with the exception of the excellent book by Bernard Pagel on "Nucleosynthesis and Chemical Evolution of Galaxies" (Cambridge University Press, 1997), and the subject of galactic chem ical evolution has appeared only as short chapters in books devoted to other subjects. Therefore, I felt that a book of this kind could be useful. The book summarizes the observational facts which allow us to reconstruct the chemical history of our Galaxy, in particular the abundances in stars and in terstellar medium; in the last decade, a great deal of observational work, mostly abundance determinations in stars in the solar vicinity, has shed light on the pro duction and distribution of chemical elements. Even more recently more abun dance data have accumulated for external galaxies at both low and high redshift, thus providing precious information on the chemical evolution of different types of galaxies and on the early stages of galaxy evolution.

Book Synopsis Evolution of Stars and Stellar Populations by : Maurizio Salaris
Download or read book Evolution of Stars and Stellar Populations written by Maurizio Salaris and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-12-13 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution of Stars and Stellar Populations is a comprehensive presentation of the theory of stellar evolution and its application to the study of stellar populations in galaxies. Taking a unique approach to the subject, this self-contained text introduces first the theory of stellar evolution in a clear and accessible manner, with particular emphasis placed on explaining the evolution with time of observable stellar properties, such as luminosities and surface chemical abundances. This is followed by a detailed presentation and discussion of a broad range of related techniques, that are widely applied by researchers in the field to investigate the formation and evolution of galaxies. This book will be invaluable for undergraduates and graduate students in astronomy and astrophysics, and will also be of interest to researchers working in the field of Galactic, extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. comprehensive presentation of stellar evolution theory introduces the concept of stellar population and describes "stellar population synthesis" methods to study ages and star formation histories of star clusters and galaxies presents stellar evolution as a tool for investigating the evolution of galaxies and of the universe in general
Book Synopsis Evolution of Massive Stars by : D. Vanbeveren
Download or read book Evolution of Massive Stars written by D. Vanbeveren and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Massive stars occupy an exceptional place in general astrophysics. They trigger many if not all of the important processes in galactic evolution whereas due to their intrinsic brightness, they offer the (only until now) possibility to study the stellar content and stellar behaviour in distant galaxies. The last, say, 25 years, massive stars have been the subject of numerous meetings discussing the influence of massive stars on population synthesis, the number distribution of different types of massive stars, the LBV phenomenon, WR stars, X-ray binaries, stellar winds in massive stars, chemical pecularities in massive stars, supernova explosions of massive stars and the important SN1987A event, the influence of massive stars and chemical evolution of galaxies. It is clear that without a theory of stellar evolution, the study of these topics loses a lot of its significance. Massive star evolution therefore got a chance in these meetings, but rarely as a prime subject. The state of the art, the physical processes and the uncertainties in stellar evolution were barely touched. Even more, the influence of close binaries in all these massive star meetings slowly disappeared the last, say, 13 years without any scientific justification, although a significant fraction of stars occurs in close binaries with periods small enough so that both components will interact during their evolution. Denying the binaries or not discussing their influence on results and conclusions, makes the latter very uncertain or even completely unreliable.
Book Synopsis Stellar Structure and Evolution by : Marc Pinsonneault
Download or read book Stellar Structure and Evolution written by Marc Pinsonneault and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stellar Structure and Evolution, the second volume in the Ohio State Astrophysics Series, takes advantage of our new era of stellar astrophysics, in which modern techniques allow us to map the interiors of stars in unprecedented detail. This textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students aims to develop a broad physical understanding of the fundamental principles that dictate stellar properties. The study of stellar evolution focuses on the 'life cycle' of stars: how they are born, how they live, and how they die. As elements ejected by one generation of stars are incorporated into the next generation, stellar evolution is intertwined with the chemical evolution of our galaxy. Focusing on key physical processes without going into encyclopedic depth, the authors present stellar evolution in a contemporary context, including phenomena such as pulsations, mass loss, binary interactions, and rotation, which contribute to our understanding of stars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In this thesis I explore current problems of Galactic astronomy by following two distinct but complementary approaches: the kinematic and photometric properties of local stellar populations, and the theory of stellar evolution. Under the first approach, I construct the largest available catalog of genuine wide binaries (a> 100 AU) and, using the relative positions of both components on a reduced proper-motion diagram, I cleanly classify them as belonging to either the disk or the halo of the Galaxy. These samples, drawn from the Revised New Luyten Two-Tenths catalog, are complete to separations of 500 and 900 arcsec, corresponding to about 0.1 and 1 parsec, respectively. At wide separations, both distributions are well described by power laws that have, within the uncertainties, identical exponents. The fact that these distributions have similar slopes and normalizations, despite the radically different Galactic environments to which they belong today, argues for similarity of the star-formation conditions of the two populations. The fact that the halo binaries obey a single power law out to about 1 parsec permits strong constraints on halo dark-matter candidates. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we exclude a halo fully composed of MAssive Compact Halo Objects (MACHOs) more massive than 43 solar masses at 95 percent confidence. I outline the prospects for using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in the assembly of a catalog of halo wide binaries which, by improving the statistics at large separations, will enable exploration of MACHO masses in the astrophysically important regime of heavy stellar remnants. Finally, taking advantage of the identification of faint companions of Hipparcos stars, I construct a catalog of 424 intrinsically dim (i.e., low-mass) field stars with accurate (better than 3-sigma) parallaxes. Under the approach of stellar evolution, I study the long-standing problem of abundance anomalies in red giants, concentrating in non-standard mixing processes induced by stellar rotation. Unlike most previous work, I focus on the simultaneous reproduction of the CNO abundances in both Population I and Population II giants using the same physics and models. This novel approach led to a powerful new insight on one of the most difficult problems of astrophysics: the interplay between convection and rotation in stellar envelopes.
