The Ghost in the Telescope is an insider's account of the Herschel Space Observatory, which was launched to answer two of the biggest questions in astronomy: How were the stars and galaxies born?
The rotation of the Sun is a basic parameter which constrains the boundary conditions for the model of the MHD-dynamo mechanisms that generates solar activity.
Experiments attempting to recreate the Big Bang and measurements in deep space point to the tantalizing possibility that our universe may be the relic of something simple, powerful, and highly symmetric.
The rotation of the Sun is a basic parameter which constrains the boundary conditions for the model of the MHD-dynamo mechanisms that generates solar activity.
Questo libro fornisce una panoramica completa dello sviluppo della fisica dei raggi cosmici, con considerazioni storiche e didattiche, dalle prime prove dell'esistenza della radiazione extraterrestre fino alle più recenti applicazioni dei muoni cosmici in diversi aspetti della vita quotidiana.
The Star and the Whole: Gian-Carlo Rota on Mathematics and Phenomenology, authored by Fabrizio Palombi, is the first book to study Rota's philosophical reflection.
The Correspondence of John Flamsteed: The First Astronomer Royal, Volume Two contains the letters Flamsteed wrote and received from June 1682 to the spring of 1703.
Python Experiments in Physics and Astronomy acts as a resource for science and engineering students or faculty who would like to see how a diverse selection of topics can be analyzed and simulated using Python programs.
As investigations into our Universe become more complex, in-depth, and widespread, galaxy surveys are requiring state-of-the-art data scientific methods to analyze them.
This book presents the first comprehensive exploration of the state of this well studied and thus unsolved mystery of the value of the Hubble constant.
Einstein's theory of general relativity is one of the pillars of modern physics and it is our standard framework for describing gravitational fields and the spacetime structure.
A lens into the unexplored and unseen cosmosA beautiful book showcasing the most stunning images from the first years of the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful infrared space observatory, along with expert insights into their revelations.
The book collects a series of articles to review the advances that have been made in the field of gravitational collapse in general relativity and alternative theories of gravity in the past few years.
