The papers in this volume provide an updated status of the last developments and current problems in string theory in connection with gravity and the physics at the Planck scale.
Over the past few years we have seen remarkable, and at times independent advances in the understanding of extended objects like strings, black holes and membranes at the 'microscopic' level.
This volume provides an updated understanding of the progress and current problems in the interplay between fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology.
This workshop brought together the leaders in the field of education in astronomy and explored the newly available technologies that can make astronomy a powerful teaching tool for high school and undergraduate college students.
The main theme of the workshop is to discuss problems of nucleosynthesis in the Universe, specifically in connections to the unstable atomic nuclei, which would play a crucial role in explosive burning processes.
An accelerating convergence of interests of particle physics and modern experimental and theoretical astrophysics has been witnessed in the past few years.
This international conference focussed on several exciting frontier areas of particle physics at energy scales not realizable in terrestrial accelerators and their significance in the fields of astrophysics and cosmology.
The major topics in this volume are electroweak physics (including LEP physics and radiative corrections), CP violation and lepton number nonconservation, and neutrino physics and astroparticle physics.
This volume is composed of four major in-depth yet pedagogic review chapters on the subject of star formation, written by the foremost researchers in the field.
This volume contains up-to-date accounts of many of the latest developments in gravitation, cosmology and astrophysics, including papers on black hole radiation, empirical tests of gravitational theory, quantum gravity, classical and quantum cosmology, singularities, computational methods, and a number of other topics.
This book contains the lectures delivered at the Second Paris Cosmology Colloquium (second 'Journee Cosmologie') held at the Observatoire de Paris from June 2 to 4, 1994.
These proceedings sample new results derived from extended-objected IR observations and explore the capabilities of large-aperture, low-scattered-light instrumentation.
This proceedings volume focuses on new methods of image and signal analysis in a wide range of energies (from radio to gamma ray astronomy) and advanced methodologies regarding problems and solutions in information fusion and retrieval, statistical pattern recognition, vision and advances in computing technology.
This volume contains original material and fresh ideas from the world's leading specialists on a wide range of topics in general relativity, astrophysics and cosmology.
This volume puts together several important lectures on the Hamiltonian Systems and Celestial Mechanics to form a comprehensive and authoritative collection of works on the subject.
In the diversified and changing scenarios of the current frontiers of nuclear physics research, the topic 'Nuclear Equation of State' occupies the pivotal position.
This volume covers topics ranging from the early universe, cosmology, inflation, quantum gravity, exact solutions and computer-aided computations to space and terrestrial gravity experiments, with special emphasis on recent research.
The proceedings of the 'Workshop on Gammasphere Physics' report on forefront physics done with Gammasphere and other large gamma-ray detector arrays around the world.
At the Second International A D Sakharov Conference on Physics, more than 200 physicists from many countries gathered together to celebrate what would have been the 75th birthday of the distinguished physicist and world figure Andrei Sakharov.
This volume addresses four major topical areas: imaging detectors for astrophysics application, noble liquid compound, medical application and high energy application.
