Einstein's Enigma or Black Holes in My Bubble Bath
Springer 2006; US$ 31.99A funny rendition of the story of gravitation theory from the early historic origins to the developments in astrophysics, focusing on Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity and black-hole physics. more...
From X-ray Binaries to Quasars
Springer 2007; US$ 119.99A collection of papers using the relative advantages of studying stellar mass and supermassive black holes. The topics discussed here include the state of the art in black hole observational and theoretical work-variability, spectroscopy, disk-jet connections, and multi-wavelength campaigns on black holes. more...
Gravitational Collapse and Spacetime Singularities
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 40.00Gravitational collapse for graduate students and researchers in gravitation physics, fundamental physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. more...
Classical Novae
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 70.00Fully updated and revised second edition reference on classical novae for researchers and graduate students. more...
Supernovae and How to Observe Them
Springer 2007; US$ 25.99Supernovae represent the most violent stellar explosions in the universe. This book presents supernovo facts and explains what they are, and how to observe and discover them. It contains detailed galaxy images and is aimed at amateur astronomers who are readers of astronomy periodicals. more...
Black Hole Gravitohydromagnetics
Springer 2008; US$ 139.99Black hole gravitohydromagnetics (GHM) is developed from the rudiments to the frontiers of research in this book. GHM describes plasma interactions that combine the effects of gravity and a strong magnetic field, in the vicinity (ergosphere) of a rapidly rotating black hole. This topic was created in response to the astrophysical quest to understand... more...
Neutron Stars and Pulsars
Springer 2009; US$ 149.99Studying neutron stars means studying physics in regimes unattainable in any terrestrial laboratory. This book reviews the progress made since the early days of pulsar astronomy, and focuses on questions such as: 'What have we learned about the subject and how did we learn it?' and 'What are the most important open questions in this area'. more...
Clocks in the Sky
Springer 2009; US$ 23.99Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the collapsed cores of once massive stars that ended their lives as supernova explosions. Pulsar rotation rates can reach incredible speeds, up to hundreds of times per second. This title explores the history, subsequent discovery and contemporary research into pulsar astronomy. more...
Black Holes, White Dwarfs and Neutron Stars
Wiley 2008; US$ 170.00This self-contained textbook brings together many different branches of physics--e.g. nuclear physics, solid state physics, particle physics, hydrodynamics, relativity--to analyze compact objects. The latest astronomical data is assessed. Over 250 exercises. more...
Superstelle in esplosione
Springer 2010; US$ 23.99Le supernovae e i gamma-ray burst, gli eventi pił catastrofici che si verificano nell?Universo, sono oggetto di studio nei campi pił dinamici della moderna ricerca astronomica. Dei secondi ancora non conosciamo con precisione i meccanismi che li innescano e tuttavia forti indizi suggeriscono che, come nelle supernovae, la causa scatenante sia il collasso... more...
