Stardust From Meteorites
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 57.00The study of presolar meteoritic grains is a new inter-disciplinary field that brings together topics from nuclear physics to astronomy and chemistry. Traditionally, most of the information about the cosmos has been gathered by observing light through telescopes. However, with the recent discovery that some dust grains extracted from primitive meteorites... more...
Comets
Springer 2006; US$ 109.99The book covers the most recent ideas about the nature and dynamics of comets, including a thorough discussion on Oort cloud dynamics which has not received due attention in other books on the subject. It also discusses the most relevant aspects of the physics and chemistry of comet nuclei, highlighting their importance as relics of the protoplanetary... more...
The Interstellar Medium
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 99.99Describing interstellar matter in our galaxy in all of its various forms, this title also considers the physical and chemical processes that are occurring within this matter. It begins by explaining the various components that comprise it and detailing the ways that we are able to study them. more...
Deep Impact Mission
Springer 2006; US$ 119.99Deep Impact, or at least part of the flight system, is designed to crash into comet 9P/Tempel 1, enabling cometary researchers to peer into the cometary nucleus, analyzing the excavated material with its imagers and spectrometers. This book describes the mission, its objectives, expected results, payload, and data products. more...
Modern Meteor Science
Springer 2006; US$ 119.99Represents a blend of research and reviews in meteor science. This book provides a view of meteoroid research including the dynamics, sources and distribution of these bodies, and their chemistry and physical processes in the interplanetary medium and the Earth's atmosphere. It is intended for researchers and students. more...
The Origin of Chondrules and Chondrites
Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 38.00Summary of the ideas surrounding the origin and history of chondrules and chondrites. more...
Frontiers in Dusty Plasmas
Elsevier Science 2000; US$ 270.00The study of dusty plasmas is now in a vigorous state of development. Dust and plasma coexist in a vast variety of cosmic environments and their research received a major boost in the early 80's with the Voyager spacecraft observations of peculiar features in the Saturnian ring system (e.g. the radial spokes) which could not be explained purely in... more...
Advances in Meteoroid and Meteor Science
Springer 2008; US$ 139.99This volume is a compilation of articles that summarize the most recent results in meteor, meteoroid and related fields presented at the Meteoroids 2007 conference held at the impressive CosmoCaixa Science Museum in Barcelona, Spain. The conference took place between the 11th and the 15th of June and was organized by the Institute of Space Sciences... more...
Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites
Springer 2008; US$ 31.99It is said that astronomy is one of the few remaining fields in which amateurs can make a real contribution to science, and nowhere is this more true than in the field of meteors and meteorites. Although meteors are isolated and unpredictable, it is possible to predict when meteor showers - usually associated with old comets - are due; they last a... more...
Deep Impact as a World Observatory Event
Springer 2008; US$ 129.99In the context of the NASA Deep Impact space mission, comet 9P/Tempel1 has been at the focus of an unprecedented worldwide long-term multi-wavelength observation campaign. This book includes the proceedings of a meeting that brought together an audience of theoreticians and observers to make full use of the ground-based observing data set. more...
