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.
Written in an accessible style, this unique book aims at describing the Nobel prize winning works in astronomy to readers who only have a background of high school physics.

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Almost everything we know about the Universe has come from studying the messages carried by light from outer space.
This book provides an introduction to relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics, with particular emphasis on its derivation from microscopic transport theory.
What we know about dark matter and what we have yet to discoverAstronomical observations have confirmed dark matter's existence, but what exactly is dark matter?
The Second Principle of Thermodynamics is nowadays a sort of "e;religious"e; belief: the certainty that our universe, with everything in it, is destined to be destroyed, sentients included-a thought that has been heavily radicated for decades in a society divided between rigid atheists and likewise rigid religious people.
This book, designed as a tool for young researchers and graduate students, reviews the main open problems and research lines in various fields of astroparticle physics: cosmic rays, gamma rays, neutrinos, cosmology, and gravitational physics.
This thesis highlights data from MINOS, a long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiment, and details one of the most sensitive searches for the sterile neutrino ever made.
Mit diesem Buch begeben Sie sich auf die spannende Suche nach der Dunklen Materie, die nach dem aktuellen Stand der Forschung den Großteil der Masse unseres Universums ausmacht.
The enlarged new edition of this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the basic processes in plasmas and demonstrates that the same fundamental concepts describe cold gas-discharge plasmas, space plasmas, and hot fusion plasmas.
This biography is a short yet comprehensive overview of the life of Meghnad Saha, the mastermind behind the frequently used Saha equations and a strong contributor to the foundation of science in India.
This thesis offers the first laboratory validation of microscopic simulations of radio emission from particle showers, including a detailed description of the simulation study.
This thesis summarizes the original analysis work performed by the author on data from XENON1T, a search for dark matter with a ton-size noble liquid detector operated at Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory in Italy.
The Compound-Nuclear Reaction and Related Topics (CNR*) international workshop series was initiated in 2007 with a meeting near Yosemite National Park.
