The Electromagnetic Spectrum of Neutron Stars
Springer 2006; US$ 79.99Features the lectures presented in the 6th NATO-ASI series entitled in Marmaris, Turkey, on 7-18 June 2004. This volume includes information from the neutron stars, namely neutrino and gravitational radiation along with the electromagnetic spectrum. It serves as a graduate level text including the range of properties of neutron stars. 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...
Scientific detectors for astronomy 2005
Springer 2006; US$ 179.99Covers a range of detector technologies including CCDs, CMOS, APDs, and sub-mm detectors. This work includes papers on observatory status and plans, special applications, detector testing and characterization, and electronics. A feature of these proceedings is the inclusion of pedagogical overview papers. 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...
Joint Evolution of Black Holes and Galaxies
CRC Press 2006; US$ 189.95Black holes are among the most mysterious objects that the human mind has been capable of imagining. As pure mathematical constructions, they are tools for exploiting the fundamental laws of physics. As astronomical sources, they are part of our cosmic landscape, warping space-time, coupled to the large-scale properties and life cycle of their host... more...
High Energy Radiation from Black Holes
Princeton University Press 2009; US$ 135.00Bright gamma-ray flares observed from sources far beyond our Milky Way Galaxy are best explained if enormous amounts of energy are liberated by black holes. The highest- energy particles in nature--the ultra-high-energy cosmic rays--cannot be confined by the Milky Way's magnetic field, and must originate from sources outside our Galaxy. Understanding... more...
The Black Hole At The Center Of The Milky Way
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 103.00Reviewing the fundamental instrumental techniques and current observational results, this book unveils the mysteries of the physical processes in the central parsec of our Milky Way: the super-massive black hole embedded in a central stellar cluster as well as the gas and dust in the circumnuclear region. The observations described cover the entire... more...
Modeling Black Hole Evaporation
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 86.00The scope of this book is two-fold: the first part gives a fully detailed and pedagogical presentation of the Hawking effect and its physical implications, and the second discusses the backreaction problem, especially in connection with exactly solvable semiclassical models that describe analytically the black hole evaporation process. The book aims... 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...
Scattering from Black Holes
Cambridge University Press 1988; US$ 45.00This book investigates the propagation of waves in the presence of black holes. more...
