In this essential, Claus Grupen discusses astroparticle physics in a short historical outline and describes the latest results without going into mathematical detail.
Claus Grupen erörtert in diesem essential in einem kurzen historischen Abriss die Astroteilchenphysik und beschreibt die neuesten Resultate, ohne ins mathematische Detail zu gehen.
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.
Ein vierseitiges Diskussionspapier, von Stephen Hawking auf der Wissenschaftsplattform ArXiv publiziert, hat die theoretische Physik in Aufruhr versetzt und weltweit für Schlagzeilen gesorgt: Hawking, der seinen Ruhm der Entdeckung verdankte, dass der Ereignishorizont von Schwarzen Löchern nicht so schwarz ist, wie man glaubte, geht jetzt einen entscheidenden Schritt weiter: Schwarze Löcher gibt es gar nicht, erklärt er nun – jedenfalls nicht so, wie die theoretische Physik sie bisher errechnet hat.
A concise and accessible introduction to exoplanets that explains the cutting-edge science behind recent discoveriesFor centuries, people have speculated about the possibility of planets orbiting distant stars, but only since the 1990s has technology allowed astronomers to detect them.
With its many beautiful colour pictures, this book gives fascinating insights into the unusual forms and behaviour of matter under extremely high pressures and temperatures.

This relatively new field applies equations from string theory to solve the questions of early cosmology, since the standard picture of our universe emerging from a 'big bang' leaves many fundamental issues unanswered.
This latest edition of the proven and comprehensive treatment on the topic -- from the bestselling author of "e;Tapestry of Modern Astrophysics"e; -- has been updated and revised to reflect the newest research results.
Thermonuclear reactions in stars is a major topic in the field of nuclear astrophysics, and deals with the topics of how precisely stars generate their energy through nuclear reactions, and how these nuclear reactions create the elements the stars, planets and - ultimately - we humans consist of.
Radiative Processes in Astrophysics: This clear, straightforward, and fundamental introduction is designed to present-from a physicist's point of view-radiation processes and their applications to astrophysical phenomena and space science.
This revised edition of Solar Astrophysics describes our current understanding of the sun - from its deepest interior, via the layers of the directly observable atmosphere to the solar wind, right out to its farthest extension into interstellar space.
A fascinating introduction to the basic principles of orbital mechanics It has been three hundred years since Isaac Newton first formulated laws to explain the orbits of the Moon and the planets of our solar system.
The 16th volume in the annual series on recent developments and scientific progress in astronomy and astrophysics contains thirteen invited reviews presented during the International Scientific Conference of the Society on "e;The Cosmic Circuit of Matter"e;, held in Berlin, Germany.
A guide to the fascinating interplay between particle physics and astrophysics that highlights the discovery of neutrino oscillations Written by three international experts on the topic, Solar Neutrino Physics offers a review of the status of solar physics with its strong link to neutrino physics.
