Asteroseismology
Springer 2010; US$ 129.99A guide for graduate students and scientists working in stellar astrophysics. It provides a general introduction to asteroseismology, and comprehensive coverage of its various aspects: fundamental theory, observations and observational techniques, and methodology of data analysis. more...
Building a Roll-Off Roof Observatory
Springer 2008; US$ 59.95Covers various aspects of designing a roll-off roof observatory: planning the site, requirements for viewing, conforming to by-laws, and orientation of the structure. This book outlines construction of a typical building, and the accompanying CD-R provides diagrams for each phase of construction. more...
Gravitational Radiation, Luminous Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae
Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 38.00Gravitational Radiation, Luminous Black Holes and Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae provides a comprehensive overview of the theory of gravitational radiation and rotating black holes, and the phenomenology of GRB-supernovae. It is ideal for graduate students of gravitational-wave astronomy and as an introduction to those interested in this contemporary development... more...
The Initial Mass Function 50 Years Later
Springer 2007; US$ 189.99Presents the proceedings of a conference held in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Initial Mass Function (IMF) concept by Ed Salpeter. This book includes reviews on the deep implications of the IMF on star formation theories, and on the physical conditions of the gas before and after star formation. more...
An Introduction to Radiative Transfer
Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 85.00Astrophysicists have developed several very different methodologies for solving the radiative transfer equation. An Introduction to Radiative Transfer presents these techniques as applied to stellar atmospheres, planetary nebulae, and other objects with similar geometrical and physical conditions. more...
Linear Isentropic Oscillations of Stars
Springer 2011; US$ 139.99The study of stellar oscillations is the preeminent way to investigate the stability of stars and to interpret their variability. The theory of the linear, isentropic oscillations of isolated gaseous stars, and thus of compressible spherically symmetric equilibrium configurations, has largely been developed from the viewpoint of the hypothesis of the... more...
Physics, Formation and Evolution of Rotating Stars
Springer 2008; US$ 109.99Rotation is ubiquitous at each step of stellar evolution, from star formation to the final stages, and it affects the course of evolution, the timescales and nucleosynthesis. Stellar rotation is also an essential prerequisite for the occurrence of Gamma-Ray Bursts. This book examines the basic mechanical and thermal effects of rotation. more...
Setting-up a Small Observatory
Springer 2007; US$ 23.99Provides information about smaller-scale observatories, and how to set one up. This book covers the details of design, siting and construction - once a basic type has been decided upon. It also considers the aesthetics of amateur observatories - fitting them in with family and neighbors, and disguising them as common garden buildings if necessary. more...
Stellar Populations
Wiley 2011; US$ 150.00This up-to-date reference on stellar populations and development models includes coverage of distant galaxies, chemical evolution and supernovae. Written by highly acclaimed authorities in the field, the book makes use of specific problems to reveal the "kitchen secrets." more...
