Challenges In Stellar Pulsation
Bentham Science Publishers 2010; US$ 89.00Ever since some stars were found to pulsate in the early 20th century, stellar pulsation has been a major topic in astronomy and astrophysics. The huge amount of data recently available from observational surveys, new discoveries from space missions and studies of pulsating stars in low-metallicity environments have opened new perspectives and challenges.... more...
Chemical Evolution of Galaxies
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99The term "chemical evolution of galaxies" refers to the evolution of abundances of chemical species in galaxies, which is due to nuclear processes occurring in stars and to gas flows into and out of galaxies. This book deals with the chemical evolution of galaxies of all morphological types (ellipticals, spirals and irregulars) and stresses... more...
Exoplanets
Springer 2011; US$ 23.99"Exoplanets: Finding, Exploring, and Understanding Alien Worlds" probes the basis for possible answers to the fundamentals questions asked about these planets orbiting stars other than our Sun. This book examines what such planets might be like, where they are, and how we find them. Until around ten years ago, the only planets that we knew... more...
The Spiral Galaxy M33
Springer 2011; US$ 109.99This book summarizes the gathering of information on and the growing understanding of M33 from the 1920s, when Hubble first determined its true nature, to the 21st century, when the Hubble Telescope probed deeply into its many secrets. With its regular symmetrical spiral structure, and its being not tilted too much and near enough to allow detailed... more...
Dark Nebulae, Dark Lanes, and Dust Belts
Springer 2012; US$ 31.99There are 'voids' obscuring all kinds of objects in the cosmos. Voids may be within an object, or between an object and us. Dark Nebulae, Dark Lanes, and Dust Lanes looks out into the deep sky at those apparent dark regions in space, which are among the most compelling telescopic destinations for amateur observers. One famous example is Barnard's... more...
The Internal Constitution of the Stars
Cambridge University Press 1988; US$ 74.00The publication of The Internal Constitution of the Stars by Arthur Eddington in 1926 was a major landmark in the development of modern theoretical astrophysics. Not only did Eddington effectively create the discipline of the structure, constitution, and more...
Introduction to Stellar Astrophysics: Volume 1, Basic Stellar Observations and Data
Cambridge University Press 1989; US$ 53.00This textbook introduces basic elements of fundamental astronomy and astrophysics which serve as a foundation for understanding the structure, evolution, and observed properties of stars. The first half of the book explains how stellar motions, distances, more...
Instrumentation for Large Telescopes
Cambridge University Press 1997; US$ 146.00The first review on the design and use of instrumentation for the new generation of large telescopes that will be used by astronomers well into the next century. more...
GravItational Lensing of Quasars
CRC Press 2011; US$ 89.95In the context of observational cosmology, the book begins with the basics of gravitational lensing, explaining how light is deflected as it passes the vicinity of mass. The focus however, is on applications related to gravitationally lensed quasars. A brief overview of the different classes of active galactic nuclei is given, as well as some still... more...
