This book characterizes the kinematic and chemical structures of disk-forming regions around low-mass protostellar sources and their interplay based on Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations.
More than half of all stars in the universe formed and evolved as binary systems and their study is essential for understanding stellar and galactic evolution.

This work investigates the permissibility and viability of property rights on the - lestial bodies, particularly the extraterrestrial aspects of land and mineral resources ownership.
Many people know something about communication - it is after all an innate human ability - but a full comprehension of how to do science communication effectively is not acquired easily.
When, in July 1969, the Americans decisively beat the Soviet Union in the race to put an astronaut on the moon, this event had profound historical, scientific and political implications.
Starting from Newton's times this follow-up to the author's Springer book "e;Our Place in the Universe - Understanding Fundamental Astronomy from Ancient Discoveries"e; addresses the question of "e;our place in the Universe"e; from astronomical, physical, chemical, biological, philosophical and social perspectives.
"e;l hope that people all around the world never forget what a wonderful thing it is to lie on your back and look up at the stars"e; Pete Seeger What is the fascination that constellations hold for people?
Questo libro conduce il lettore in un viaggio esplorativo attraverso il Cosmo, dall'antica Mesopotamia ed Egitto fino alla Cina, svelando il fascino dello sviluppo dell'astronomia e della matematica che ha dato vita alla rivoluzione scientifica.
Since the very beginning of astronomy, people have looked up sky and constructed patterns - the constellations - out of the almost random scattering of stars in the night sky.

There is deep mystery and profound satisfaction in finding your position on earth by reference to the sun, moon, and stars--not to mention profound relief when the GPS receiver stops working in mid-passage.
If a heavy particle ion (atom, molecule, muon) collides with another in the gas phase at speeds approaching the speed of light, the time-dependent Dirac equation equation must be used for its description, including quantum electro-dynamic, special relativity and magnetic coupling effects.
Seeing Stars is written for astronomers, regardless of the depth of their theoretical knowledge, who are taking their first steps in observational astronomy.
Die Aktivität von Galaxien ist eine relativ seltene und offenbar kurzlebige Erscheinung, die sich vor allem durch eine verstärkte Abstrahlung, oft über das ganze Spektrum hinweg, vom Röntgen- bis zum Radiobereich, bemerkbar macht.
A first-time skywatcher's guide from bright new talent, BBC Blue Peter astronomer, Anton VamplewMost books on stargazing claim to be for beginners, but by page 12 are talking about celestial equators and sidereal months.
This textbook provides students with a solid introduction to the techniques of approximation commonly used in data analysis across physics and astronomy.
Based on the recent NATO Advanced Study Institute "e;Chaotic Worlds: From Order to Disorder in Gravitational N-Body Dynamical Systems"e;, this state of the art textbook, written by internationally renowned experts, provides an invaluable reference volume for all students and researchers in gravitational n-body systems.
The Hill-Brown theory of the Moon's motion was constructed in the years from 1877 to 1908, and adopted as the basis for the lunar ephemerides in the nautical almanacs of the US, UK, Germany, France, and Spain beginning in 1923.
From the reviews: "e;Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts has appeared in semi-annual volumes since 1969 and it has already become one of the fundamental publications in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and neighbouring sciences.
