GIOTTO, das spektakulärste Raumprojekt seit der Mondlandung und ein Glanzstück der europäischen Raumforschung, wird von dem versierten Autor Nigel Calder spannend dargestellt.
As this excellent book demonstrates, the study of comets has now reached the fas- cinating stage where we understand comets in general simple tenns while, at the same time, we are uncertain about practically all the details of cometary nature, structure, processes, and origin.
During the 30 years of space exploration, important discoveries in the near-earth environment such as the Van Allen belts, the plasmapause, the magnetotail and the bow shock, to name a few, have been made.
During the last decade, a rapid growth of knowledge in the field of re-entry and planetary entry has resulted in many significant advances useful to the student, engineer and scientist.
On attending a conference on the Jovian satellites at UCLA, I heard Lou Lanze- rotti vigorously present the exciting data on the sputtering of water ice by Me V protons taken with W.
Based on lectures given at a CNRS summer school in France, this book covers many aspects of stellar environments (both observational and theoretical) and offers a broad overview of the field.
Astromineralogy deals with the science of gathering mineralogical information from the astronomical spectroscopy of asteroids, comets and dust in the circumstellar environments in general.
The purpose and motivation of these lectures can be summarized in the following two questions: * What is the ground state (and its properties) of dense matter?
This book on recent investigations of the dynamics of celestial bodies in the solar and extra-Solar System is based on the elaborated lecture notes of a thematic school on the topic, held as a result of cooperation between the SYRTE Department of Paris Observatory and the section of astronomy of the Vienna University.
Studying the complex physical systems of stellar jets necessitates the incorporation of nonlinear effects which occur on a wide variety of length and timescales.
Over the years, many leading European graduate schools in the field of astrophysical and space plasmas have operated within the framework of the research network, "e;Theory, Observations, and Simulations in Turbulence in Space Plasmas.
Chaos theory plays an important role in modern physics and related sciences, but -, the most important results so far have been obtained in the study of gravitational systems applied to celestial mechanics.
