The Symbiotic Stars
Cambridge University Press 1986; US$ 37.00Dr Kenyon has researched and assembled here all the existing data for the known symbiotic stars, in which a dwarf star accretes material from its red giant companion. more...
Solar-Type Activity in Main-Sequence Stars
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 129.99Solar-type activity over the whole range of the electromagnetic spectrum is a phenomenon inherent in the majority of low- and moderate-mass main sequence stars. In this monograph observational results are summarized in a systematic and comprehensive fashion. The analysis of the various manifestations of such stellar activity leads to the identification... more...
New Light on Dark Stars
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 109.99Presents a review of both the astrophysical nature of individual red dwarf and brown dwarf stars and their collective statistical properties as an important Galactic stellar population. This edition contains chapters that deal with the topics such as observational properties of low-mass dwarfs, the stellar mass function and extrasolar planets. more...
Neutrinos and Explosive Events in the Universe
Springer 2006; US$ 84.99Contains the Lectures and selected participant contributions to the 14th Course of the International School of Cosmic Rays Astrophysics. This work discusses different aspects of the generation of high energy signals in powerful astrophysical objects concentrating on the production of neutrinos and gamma rays from high energy particle interactions. more...
The Electromagnetic Spectrum of Neutron Stars
Springer 2006; US$ 79.99Features the lectures presented in the 6th NATO-ASI series entitled in Marmaris, Turkey, on 7-18 June 2004. This volume includes information from the neutron stars, namely neutrino and gravitational radiation along with the electromagnetic spectrum.

Black Hole Uniqueness Theorems
Cambridge University Press 1996; US$ 49.00A self-contained introduction to the mathematical theory of black holes. more...
An Introduction to Black Holes, Information and the String Theory Revolution
World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 36.40Over the last decade the physics of black holes has been revolutionized by developments that grew out of Jacob Bekenstein's realization that black holes have entropy. Steven Hawking raised profound issues concerning the loss of information in black hole evaporation and the consistency of quantum mechanics in a world with gravity. more...
Joint Evolution of Black Holes and Galaxies
CRC Press 2006; US$ 189.95Black holes are among the most mysterious objects that the human mind has been capable of imagining. As pure mathematical constructions, they are tools for exploiting the fundamental laws of physics. As astronomical sources, they are part of our cosmic landscape, warping space-time, coupled to the large-scale properties and life cycle of their host... more...
White Dwarfs
Springer 2006; US$ 149.99The emphasis on white dwarf stars and cosmology arise from the advances in cosmological and galactic structure research in which these stars play a prominent role. Aimed at graduate students and scientific professionals, this book includes reviews focusing on four areas: white dwarf supernovae, cosmology, accretion physics and galactic structure. more...
