Satellite Orbits -Models, Methods, and Applications has been written as a compre- hensive textbook that guides the reader through the theory and practice of satellite orbit prediction and determination.
Meteorites - as well as shooting stars and meteors - result from a collision of a solid body from space with our Earth, but only meteorites are able to penetrate the Earth's protective shield, the atmosphere, and fall to the Earth's surface.
Cosmic rays consist of elementary particles with enormous energy which originate from outside our solar system and constantly hit the Earth's atmosphere.
The millimeter and sub-millimeter wavebands are unique in astronomy in containing several thousands of spectral lines of molecules as well as the thermal continuum spectrum of cold dust.
This thesis focuses on the recent firewall controversy surrounding evaporating black holes, and shows that in the best understood example concerning electrically charged black holes with a flat event horizon in anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime, the firewall does not arise.

This prizewinning PhD thesis presents a general discussion of the orbital motion close to solar system small bodies (SSSBs), which induce non-central asymmetric gravitational fields in their neighborhoods.

Recent state-of-the-art technologies in fabricating low-loss optical and mechanical components have significantly motivated the study of quantum-limited measurements with optomechanical devices.
This book is the first account of the physics of magnetic flux tubes from their fundamental properties to collective phenomena in an ensembles of flux tubes.
"e;General Relativity Without Calculus"e; offers a compact but mathematically correct introduction to the general theory of relativity, assuming only a basic knowledge of high school mathematics and physics.
It would seem that any specialist in plasma physics studying a medium in which the interaction between particles is as distance-dependent as the inter- action between stars and other gravitating masses would assert that the role of collective effects in the dynamics of gravitating systems must be decisive.
The study of the magnetic fields of the Earth and Sun, as well as those of other planets, stars, and galaxies, has a long history and a rich and varied literature, including in recent years a number of review articles and books dedicated to the dynamo theories of these fields.
Starting with the description of our home galaxy the Milky Way, this cogently written textbook introduces the reader to the astronomy of galaxies, their structure, active galactic nuclei, evolution and large scale distribution.
This book addresses all scientists and others interested in the origins, development and fate of intelligent species in the observable part of our universe.
📘 The Cosmic BlueprintFrom the Birth of the Universe to the Formation of Cosmic Structures🚀 Unlock the Hidden Design of the UniverseWhat if the universe is not random, but follows a deeper structure—a hidden blueprint that governs everything from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies?
The original work presented in this thesis constitutes an important contribution to modern Cosmic Ray (CR) physics, and comes during one of the most exciting periods of this field.
Expanding on the concept of the authors' previous book "e;Electroweak Processes in External Electromagnetic Fields, this new book systematically describes the investigation methods for the effects of external active media, both strong electromagnetic fields and hot dense plasma, in quantum processes.
Essential Astrophysics is a book to learn or teach from, as well as a fundamental reference volume for anyone interested in astronomy and astrophysics.
In Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems the authors demonstrate the need to break free from the old established concepts of expendable rockets, using chemical propulsion, and to develop new breeds of launch vehicle capable of both launching payloads into orbit at dramatically reduced cost, and for sustained operations in low-Earth orbit.
This accessible introduction describes the branch of astronomy in which processes in the universe are investigated with experimental methods employed in particle-physics experiments.
This third edition of Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems and Integration - Enabling Technologies for Space Exploration, has been updated and expanded.
Galaxies are the building blocks of the Universe: standing like islands in space, each is made up of many hundreds of millions of stars in which the chemical elements are made, around which planets form, and where on at least one of those planets intelligent life has emerged.
For this set of lectures we assumed that the reader has a reasonable back- ground in physics and some knowledge of general relativity, the modern theory of gravity in macrophysics, and cosmology.
Questo libro presenta la straordinaria storia di un esperimento di portata storica che ha permesso di scoprire i meccanismi alla base della produzione di energia solare e quelli che generano energia nelle stelle massicce.
