Astrophysics at Very High Energies
Springer 2013; US$ 69.95With the success of Cherenkov Astronomy and more recently with the launch of NASAs Fermi mission, very-high-energy astrophysics has undergone a revolution in the last years. This book provides three comprehensive and up-to-date reviews of the recent advances in gamma-ray astrophysics and of multi-messenger astronomy. Felix Aharonian and Charles... more...
The Square Kilometre Array
Springer 2012; US$ 159.99The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will provide more than one order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity compared with any existing radio telescope over a wavelength range of several hundred to one, from decametric to microwave wavelengths. It will revolutionize the study of the most abundant element in the Universe, hydrogen, from the epoch of reionisation... more...
Extreme Ultraviolet Astronomy
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 74.00Describes the development of astronomy in the Extreme Ultraviolet wavelength range, from the first rocket-based experiments to the latest satellite missions. This timely book for graduate students and researchers comes at the end of a major phase of discovery in the field. more...
What Are Gamma-Ray Bursts?
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 29.95Gamma-ray bursts are the brightest--and, until recently, among the least understood--cosmic events in the universe. Discovered by chance during the cold war, these evanescent high-energy explosions confounded astronomers for decades. But a rapid series of startling breakthroughs beginning in 1997 revealed that the majority of gamma-ray bursts are... more...
A Panchromatic View of Galaxies
Wiley 2012; US$ 135.00Describing how to investigate all kinds of galaxies through a multifrequency analysis, this text is divided into three different sections. The first describes the data currently available at different frequencies, from X-rays to UV, optical, infrared and radio millimetric and centimetric, while explaining their physical meaning. In the second section,... more...
Handbook
De Gruyter 2011; US$ 280.00Since the discovery of X-ray diffraction in 1913 over 100 000 different inorganic substances (also called compounds or phases) have been structurally characterized. The aim of this reference work is to provide the researcher with a comprehensive compilation of all up to now crystallographically identified inorganic substances in only one volume. All... more...
ISO Science Legacy
Springer 2006; US$ 139.99Stars are born and die in clouds of gas and dust, opaque to most types of radiation, but transparent in the infrared. Requiring complex detectors, space missions and cooled telescopes, infrared astronomy is the branch of this discipline to come of age. more...
X-ray Detectors in Astronomy
Cambridge University Press 1989; US$ 57.00First published in 1989, this book provides a comprehensive review of the detection techniques that are used in X-ray astronomy. more...
Handbook of Infrared Astronomy
Cambridge University Press 1999; US$ 43.00A clear and concise practical handbook on all aspects of infrared astronomy, for graduate students, researchers and keen amateurs. more...
