Astronomy, space and time

Progress towards an understanding of the dynamics and interactions of galaxies has been spurred on more than ever by a wealth of new observations and numerical experiments.

Since the previous Symposium, several exciting new developments and advances have occurred in the field of frequency standards and metrology.

The annual meeting of the Astronomische Gesellschaft in Cologne, June 1988, featured extensive reviews of the chemical processes relevant to astrophysics.

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.

Neutrinos play an intriguing role in modern physics linking central questions of particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics.

The book "e;Relativity in Astrometry, Celestial Mechanics and Geodesy"e; repre- sents a significant contribution to modern relativistic celestial mechanics and astrometry.

The second workshop on High Energy Astrophysics of the Ma.

In a foreword, an author usually elucidates the aim of his book and describes an idealized reader to whom it is addressed.

In May 1986 a two-day workshop on Physical Processes in Comets, Stars and Active Galaxies was held at the Ringberg Castle near Lake Tegernsee, and this rather unusml.

For the last few years astrophysicists and elementary particle physicists have been working jointly on the following fascinating phenomena: 1.

The present book is a translation of the original German edition (published in 1982) with some minor corrections and improvements.

From the reviews:"e;It survives the pitfalls of this fashion-conscious era by pursuing a rigorously independent-minded attitude to contemporary ideas.

One of the most fundamental discoveries of the solar system was the detection of four moons in orbit around Jupiter by Galileo Galilei in 1610.

Spacecraft study of the Solar system is one of humanity's most outstanding achievements.

Since the first French edition of the book emphasized rather the solid facts of Cosmology than the detailed discussions of controversial results, relatively few revisions were necessary for the English edition.

Although there are, in addition to the classic but somewhat dated books'l-, some excellent recent books on ionospheric physics and aeronomy'l-.

My goal in writing this book was to provide an introduction to meteorite science and a handbook on meteorite classification.

Little more than ten years have passed since spaceprobe-borne instruments con- clusively demonstrated the existence of the solar wind.

The First Conference of the International Society for the Study of Time was held at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut at Oberwolfach in the Black Forest, Federal Republic of Germany from Sunday, 31 August to Saturday, 6 September, 1969.

From the reviews: "e;This monumental work will henceforth be the standard interpretation of ancient mathematical astronomy.

The attempt to understand the physics of the structure of stars and their change in time - their evolution - has been bothering many physicists and astronomers ever since the last century.

Der bekannte Astronom Karl Schwarzschild (1873-1916) gilt als der Begründer der Astrophysik und als hervorragender Forscher mit einer erstaunlichen Bandbreite seiner Interessen.

Seit den alten Hochkulturen vor etwa 4000 Jahren haben die Sterne die Menschen fasziniert und diese sich bemüht, durch den Bau von Sternwarten mehr über den Sternhimmel herauszufinden.

Labor Erde ist eine brillante Einführung in das Studium des Planeten Erde, von den kosmischen Ursprüngen ihrer Elemente bis hin zu der Beeinflussung der Atmosphäre durch die Menschheit und den klimatischen Änderungen, die uns bevorstehen.

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.

In the past two decades a succession of direct observations by satellites, and of extensive computer simulations, has led to the realization that the polar ionosphere plays a principal role in large-scale magnetospheric processes - a manifestation of the physics linkage involved in solar-terrestrial interactions.

Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts, which appears in semi-annual volumes, is devoted to the re- cording, summarizing and indexing of astronomical publications throughout the world.

This book presents a review of those efforts that have been and are being made to determine the geochemical composition of the moon and planets.

Nuclear astrophysics as it stands today is a fascinating science.

An atmospheric phenomenon is considered as 'explained' when we have succeeded in deducing it on the basis of accepted principles of physics.

Several decades have elapsed since the publication of any similar book in the German language.

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.

Der Aufsatz demonstriert anhand ausgiebig kommentierter zeitgenössischer Zeugnisse Goethes Reaktion auf die Arbeiten Fraunhofers, insbesondere auf die Entdeckung der dunklen Linien im Sonnenspektrum.

Neutrinos play a fundamental role in the latest particle physics theories, such as Grand Unified Theories, theories of supersymmetry, and superstring theory.

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.
