Interiors of the Planets
Cambridge University Press 1980; US$ 58.00In this book Alan Cook explains how the mechanical properties of the planets are determined. more...
On the Origin of Planets
World Scientific Publishing Company 2010; US$ 117.00The book begins with a historical review of four major theories for the origin of the Solar System in particular, or of planets in general, which highlight the major problems that need to be solved by any plausible theory. In many theories, including that which form the major theme of this book, the formation of planets and stars is intimately linked,... more...
Exploration of the Solar System by Infrared Remote Sensing
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 196.00This book describes all aspects of the theory, instrumental techniques and observational results of the remote sensing of objects in our Solar System through studies of infrared radiation. Fully revised since publication of the first edition in 1992, it now incorporates the latest technologies, new mission results and scientific discoveries. more...
Planet Formation
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 34.00This volume addresses fundamental questions concerning the formation of planetary systems in general, and of our solar system in particular. Drawing from recent advances in observational, experimental, and theoretical research, it summarises our current understanding of the planet formation processes, and addresses major open questions and research... more...
A Comparison of the Dynamical Evolution of Planetary Systems
Springer 2006; US$ 99.99Covers a range of subjects, covering the developments in Celestial Mechanics from the theoretical point of nonlinear dynamical systems to the application to real problems. This volume is useful for astronomers and mathematicians interested in Hamiltonian mechanics and in the dynamics of planetary systems. more...
The Plasma Environment of Venus, Mars, and Titan
Springer 2012; US$ 179.00This volume summarizes the recent results of the exploration of Venus, Mars and Titan in the field of space plasma physics. These are the only non-magnetic solar system bodies having dense atmospheres. A number of space missions investigated these objects; the past and the current missions are put in context with modern theoretical descriptions. The... more...
Photochemistry of Planetary Atmospheres
Oxford University Press 1998; US$ 224.99Eleven planetary atmospheres are included for detailed study in this reference/text, four for the giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), four for the small bodies (Io, Titan, Triton, and Pluto), and three for the terrestrial planets (Mars, Venus, and Earth). The authors have carried out a comprehensive survey of the principal chemical... more...
Dust in the Solar System and Other Planetary Systems
Elsevier Science 2002; US$ 230.00Since the last joint IAU and COSPAR Colloquium in Gainesville in 1995, there have been dramatic changes in the field resulting from in-situ space experiments, Earth orbiting satellites and ground based observations. The brightest comet since the early years of the twentieth century, comet Hale-Bopp, appeared, giving an invaluable opportunity to see... more...
