Suzaku Studies of White Dwarf Stars and the Galactic X-ray Background Emission
Springer 2012; US$ 109.99This thesis presents a study of the origin of an apparently extended X-ray emission associated with the Galactic ridge. The study was carried out with broadband spectra obtained from mapping observations in the Galactic bulge region conducted in 20052010 by the Suzaku space X-ray observatory. The spectra were analyzed with a newly constructed... more...
Superstelle in esplosione
Springer 2010; US$ 23.99Le supernovae e i gamma-ray burst, gli eventi più catastrofici che si verificano nell?Universo, sono oggetto di studio nei campi più dinamici della moderna ricerca astronomica. Dei secondi ancora non conosciamo con precisione i meccanismi che li innescano e tuttavia forti indizi suggeriscono che, come nelle supernovae, la causa scatenante sia il collasso... more...
Black Hole Astrophysics
Springer 2009; US$ 149.99As a result of significant research over the past 20 years, black holes are now linked to some of the most spectacular and exciting phenomena in the Universe, ranging in size from those that have the same mass as stars to the super-massive objects that lie at the heart of most galaxies, including our own Milky Way. This book first introduces the properties... more...
Exploding Superstars
Springer 2009; US$ 23.99Shows how great stellar explosions have become extremely important to cosmologists trying to understand the evolution of our universe since the Big Bang and the scale of that universe. This book describes the very early universe, after the Big Bang, and then how 'the lights came on all over the universe as the very first stars began to shine.' more...
Clocks in the Sky
Springer 2009; US$ 23.99Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the collapsed cores of once massive stars that ended their lives as supernova explosions. Pulsar rotation rates can reach incredible speeds, up to hundreds of times per second. This title explores the history, subsequent discovery and contemporary research into pulsar astronomy. more...
Neutron Stars and Pulsars
Springer 2009; US$ 149.99Studying neutron stars means studying physics in regimes unattainable in any terrestrial laboratory. This book reviews the progress made since the early days of pulsar astronomy, and focuses on questions such as: 'What have we learned about the subject and how did we learn it?' and 'What are the most important open questions in this area'. more...
Black Hole Gravitohydromagnetics
Springer 2008; US$ 139.99Black hole gravitohydromagnetics (GHM) is developed from the rudiments to the frontiers of research in this book. GHM describes plasma interactions that combine the effects of gravity and a strong magnetic field, in the vicinity (ergosphere) of a rapidly rotating black hole. This topic was created in response to the astrophysical quest to understand... more...
Black Holes, White Dwarfs and Neutron Stars
Wiley 2008; US$ 170.00This self-contained textbook brings together many different branches of physics--e.g. nuclear physics, solid state physics, particle physics, hydrodynamics, relativity--to analyze compact objects. The latest astronomical data is assessed. Over 250 exercises. more...
Gravitational Collapse and Spacetime Singularities
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 40.00Gravitational collapse for graduate students and researchers in gravitation physics, fundamental physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. more...
