On the Formation of the Most Massive Stars in the Galaxy
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99The Origin Of Stars
World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 68.90Where do stars come from and how do they form? These are profound questions which link the nature of our Universe to the roots of mankind. Yet, until a recent revolution in understanding, the proposed answers have been raw speculation. Now, accompanying penetrating observations, a new picture has come into prominence. more...
Diffuse Matter from Star Forming Regions to Active Galaxies
Springer 2007; US$ 189.99Provides the introductory reviews to a number of the key hydrodynamic processes and to the sources themselves. The reviews in this work provide an introduction to the astrophysics of diffuse sources suitable for postgraduate students and researchers in astrophysics. more...
From Dust To Stars
Springer 2007; US$ 119.99Studies of stellar formation in galaxies have a profound impact on our understanding of the present and the early universe. The book describes complex physical processes involved in the creation of stars and during their young lives.
