Solar-Type Activity in Main-Sequence Stars
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 129.99Solar-type activity over the whole range of the electromagnetic spectrum is a phenomenon inherent in the majority of low- and moderate-mass main sequence stars. In this monograph observational results are summarized in a systematic and comprehensive fashion. The analysis of the various manifestations of such stellar activity leads to the identification... more...
Particle Physics and Cosmology
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 79.99The school introduces the experimental and theoretical particle physics background underlying several aspects of cosmology: matter anti-matter asymmetry, dark matter, the acceleration of the expansion, the 3K Cosmological Background Radiation, the geometry of the universe. The theoretical lectures offer reviews by experts on topics which include the... more...
New Light on Dark Stars
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 109.99Presents a review of both the astrophysical nature of individual red dwarf and brown dwarf stars and their collective statistical properties as an important Galactic stellar population. This edition contains chapters that deal with the topics such as observational properties of low-mass dwarfs, the stellar mass function and extrasolar planets. more...
