Nucleosynthesis and Chemical Evolution of Galaxies
Cambridge University Press 2009; US$ 84.00A lucid introduction for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, and an authoritative overview for researchers and professional scientists. more...
High-Redshift Galaxies
Springer 2009; US$ 84.99Presents a comprehensive account of the scientific results on high-redshift galaxies. Summarizing the observational data, this book describes the observational methods which made it possible to study these very distant and extremely faint objects. It is suitable for students interested in extragalactic astronomy. more...
Proceedings of the Galactic Center Workshop 2002
Wiley 2008; US$ 215.00Our knowledge of the environment of the nucleus of our galaxy has been greatly enhanced, by more extensive and sensitive observations at radio and infrared wavelengths, the advent of high resolution x-ray imaging and spectroscopy, and considerable theoretical activity to understand the nucleus and its components, and their activity. The Galactic Center... more...
Alla scoperta delle galassie (Le Stelle) (Italian Edition)
Springer 2010; US$ 31.99Tradotto dall'originale francese "A la decouverte des galaxies", il testo, centrato sullo studio delle galassie, č supportato da numerose fotografie spettacolari ottenute dai pių recenti telescopi e satelliti. E' indirizzato a un pubblico assai ampio, che include studenti degli ultimi anni dei licei o dei primi anni delle facolta scientifiche, astronomi... more...
The Multiwavelength Atlas of Galaxies
Cambridge University Press 2010; US$ 126.00Valuable reference resource for students and researchers containing over 250 full-color images of some of the best-observed galaxies. more...
Galaxies and their Masks
Springer 2010; US$ 209.99Various kinds of masks obscure our view of our galaxy, the Milky Way, as well as of other galaxies. Masks of interstellar dust affect our measurements within galaxies, on scales ranging from individual supernovae to the galaxies themselves. The 'mass mask' (our inability to image mass rather than light) gives astronomers a very incomplete picture... more...
Galaxy Morphology and Classification
Cambridge University Press 1998; US$ 77.00A concise and up-to-date guide to the shape of galaxies and how they can be classified, by one of the pioneers of the field. more...
Globular Cluster Systems
Cambridge University Press 1998; US$ 39.00A comprehensive review of globular cluster systems - for researchers and graduate students. more...
Galactic Dynamics
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 90.00Since it was first published in 1987, Galactic Dynamics has become the most widely used advanced textbook on the structure and dynamics of galaxies and one of the most cited references in astrophysics. Now, in this extensively revised and updated edition, James Binney and Scott Tremaine describe the dramatic recent advances in this subject, making... more...
Relativistic Jets from Active Galactic Nuclei
Wiley 2011; US$ 145.00Written by a carefully selected consortium of researchers working in the field, this book fills the gap for an up-to-date summary of the observational and theoretical status. As such, this monograph includes all used wavelengths, from radio to gamma, the FERMI telescope, a history and theory refresher, and jets from gamma ray bursts. For astronomers,... more...
