Cosmology and astroparticle physics have seen an avalanche of discoveries in the past decade (IceCube - high energy neutrinos, LIGO - gravitational waves, Fermi- gamma-ray telescope, Xenon-1T - dark matter detection, PLANCK- cosmic microwave radiation, EHT picture of black hole, SDSS -galaxy surveys), all of which require a multidisciplinary background for analyzing the phenomena.
This thesis is a comprehensive work that addresses many of the open questions currently being discusssed in the very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray community.
This book equips the reader with a coherent understanding of the structure of the Sun and its evolution and provides all the knowledge required to construct a simplified model of the Sun.
This textbook is designed to serve as a link between the basic disciplines of physics and the frontier topics within high energy astrophysics, aiming at a level of difficulty congruent with that of other physics topics studied at undergraduate level.
Owing to the increased accuracy requirements in fields such as astrometry and geodesy the general theory of relativity must be taken into account for any mission requiring highly accurate orbit information and for practically all observation and measurement techniques.
Based on the author's own work and results obtained by renowned cosmologists, this short book provides a concise introduction to the relatively new research field of cosmological thermodynamics.
In this book, renowned scientists describe the complexity of exoplanetary atmospheres and all of the observational techniques that are employed to probe them.
This book is based on the lectures given at the "e;Euroschool on Exotic Beams"e; and collects contributions which address topics from the traditional core of the field of exotic nuclei like nuclear structure far from stability, discussing recent theoretical developments and state-of-the-art experimental methods.
This book summarizes the recent progress in the physics and astrophysics of neutron stars and, most importantly, it identifies and develops effective strategies to explore, both theoretically and observationally, the many remaining open questions in the field.
Das Essential beschreibt die Entwicklung junger stellarer Objekte nach der Protosternphase und knüpft nahtlos an den ersten Teil der Essentials-Serie über „Das Leben der Sterne“ an.
Claus Grupen erörtert in diesem essential in einem kurzen historischen Abriss die Astroteilchenphysik und beschreibt die neuesten Resultate, ohne ins mathematische Detail zu gehen.
Die Autoren Claus Grupen und Marcus Niechciol geben in diesem essential einen Ausblick auf die Chancen, der durch Überbevölkerung und Klimaveränderung belasteten Erde zu entkommen.
In the last 25 years, an extensive body of work has developed various equation of state independent - or (approximately) universal - relations that allow for the inference of neutron star parameters from gravitational wave observations.
In this essential, Claus Grupen discusses astroparticle physics in a short historical outline and describes the latest results without going into mathematical detail.
Dieses Buch bietet eine anschauliche und reich bebilderte Übersicht zur Vielfalt kosmischer Turbulenz- und Selbstorganisationsszenarien und ermöglicht umfassende Einblicke in die dabei in ganz unterschiedlichen Zusammenhängen ablaufenden Vorgänge und zugrundeliegenden theoretischen Konzepte.
Dieses Buch sensibilisiert Strandurlauber und am Lebensraum Meer interessierte Menschen für die zahlreichen Naturphänomene, denen sie dort begegnen können.
This book provides results of analysis of typical solar events, statistical analysis, the diagnostics of energetic electrons and magnetic field, as well as the global behavior of solar flaring loops such as their contraction and expansion.
This book is an attempt to demystify the activities of a celestial object such as the Sun appealing to basic physics already available to high school students.
This is a revisit of a radical theory of cometary panspermia and cosmic life that was first proposed by Chandra Wickramasinghe and the late Sir Fred Hoyle in 1982.
Using Cartan's differential 1-forms theory, and assuming that the motion variables depend on Euclidean invariants, certain dynamics of the material point and systems of material points are developed.
Unified Field Mechanics, the topic of the 9th international symposium honoring noted French mathematical physicist Jean-Pierre Vigier cannot be considered highly speculative as a myopic critic might surmise.
This book provides a complete overview of the development of cosmic ray physics, with historical and educational considerations, from early evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial radiation up to the most recent applications of cosmic ray muons in different aspects of daily life.
The book presents very recent advances in understanding dark matter, dark energy effects, orbital dynamics of exoplanets around binary stars in non-planar configurations, the orbital dynamics of a moon in the star-planet systems, the orbital dynamics of interstellar interlopers around binary stars, the mechanisms of stellar flares, parameters of white dwarfs atmospheres.
