Particle Physics and Cosmology
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 79.99The school introduces the experimental and theoretical particle physics background underlying several aspects of cosmology: matter anti-matter asymmetry, dark matter, the acceleration of the expansion, the 3K Cosmological Background Radiation, the geometry of the universe. The theoretical lectures offer reviews by experts on topics which include the... more...
First Light in the Universe
Springer 2007; US$ 84.99Contains the worked out lectures given at the 36th Saas-Fee Advanced Course "First Light in the Universe" by three scientists in the field: Abraham Loeb, Andrea Ferrara, and Richard Ellis. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics of galaxies, stars, the interstellar and intergalactic medium in the early Universe. more...
Mapping the Galaxy and Nearby Galaxies
Springer 2007; US$ 179.99This is a proceedings book of the symposium "Mapping the Galaxy and nearby Galaxies" held in Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, Japan, on June 25-30, 2006. The symposium focused on mapping the interstellar media and other components in galactic disks, bulges, halos, and central regions of galaxies. Thanks to recent progress in observations using radio... more...
Mass-Transfer Induced Activity in Galaxies
Cambridge University Press 1994; US$ 94.00How gas flows and starbursts light up active galaxies. more...
How does the Galaxy Work?
Springer 2004; US$ 259.00This volume presents a multi-disciplinary approach to the physical mechanisms which structure the shape, evolution and fate of the Galaxy. It contains 4 panel sessions (the recording transcripts of the galactic 'tertulias'), an introductory historical overview on the Galaxy research, 17 reviews, and the proceedings of more than 50 oral and poster contributions. ... more...
Nebulae and How to Observe Them
Springer 2007; US$ 25.99Nebulae are the places where the stars are born. This book aims to present a description and categorization; and then to consider how best to successfully observe and record the large range of astronomical objects that fall under the general heading of "nebulae". It is useful for various levels of amateur observers. more...
Groups of Galaxies in the Nearby Universe
Springer 2007; US$ 94.99For every galaxy in the field or in clusters, there are about three galaxies in groups. The Milky Way itself resides in a group, and groups can be found at high redshift. This book aims to offer us the chance to study galaxies in environments characterized by strong interactions. It summarizes various aspects of research on groups of galaxies. more...
The Multiwavelength Atlas of Galaxies
Cambridge University Press 2010; US$ 126.00Valuable reference resource for students and researchers containing over 250 full-color images of some of the best-observed galaxies. more...
Galaxies and their Masks
Springer 2010; US$ 209.99Various kinds of masks obscure our view of our galaxy, the Milky Way, as well as of other galaxies. Masks of interstellar dust affect our measurements within galaxies, on scales ranging from individual supernovae to the galaxies themselves. The 'mass mask' (our inability to image mass rather than light) gives astronomers a very incomplete picture... more...
Galaxies, Quasars and Cosmology
World Scientific Publishing Company 1985; US$ 99.00This volume comprises lectures delivered at the First Equatorial School of Relativistic Astrophysics. It covers various topics related to observational and theoretical problems of galaxies, quasars and cosmology. The aim is to analyze current problems. more...
