The book begins at the Sun then travels through the solar system to see the stars, how they work, and ultimately what they mean to us.

Our universe seems strangely 'biophilic,' or hospitable to life.

If standard gravitational theory is correct, then most of the matter in the universe is in an unidentified form which does not emit enough light to have been detected by current instrumentation.

This is a follow-on book to the introductory textbook "e;Physics of the Solar Corona"e; previously published in 2004 by the same author, which provided a systematic introduction and covered mostly scientific results from the pre-2000 era.

This course-tested textbook conveys the fundamentals of magnetic fields and relativistic plasma in diffuse cosmic media, with a primary focus on phenomena that have been observed at different wavelengths.

This introduction to the few-body problem progresses from two-body motion and classical planetary dynamics to modern numerical methods.

The main purpose of this book is to serve as a university textbook for a first course in astronomy.

The present well-established study of planets orbiting stars other than our Sun, the exoplanets, was reviewed by the author in his earlier book Wandering Stars.

This book gives an account of the creative work of theorists at the largest Soviet secret laboratory, now the Russian Federal Nuclear Center at Arzamas-16, and concrete situations where some famous results on the essentials of theoretical physics emerged, so to speak, in the intermissions of the quest for bombs.

This 2006 volume discusses the statistics of binary stars; the evolution of single stars; and interaction between multiple stars.

Dear Reader, Here is your book.

Helping readers understand the complicated laws of nature, Advanced Particle Physics Volume I: Particles, Fields, and Quantum Electrodynamics explains the calculations, experimental procedures, and measuring methods of particle physics.

Astronomical jets are key astrophysical phenomena observed in gamma-ray bursts, active galactic nuclei or young stars.

These lecture notes are intended for starting PhD students in theoretical physics who have a working knowledge of General Relativity.

Seit den alten Hochkulturen vor etwa 4000 Jahren haben die Sterne die Menschen fasziniert und diese sich bemüht, durch den Bau von Sternwarten mehr über den Sternhimmel herauszufinden.

The Milky Way Galaxy offers a unique opportunity to study the structure and contents of a major stellar system in three dimensions, at high spatial and spectral resolution, and to very large galactocentric distances.

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.

Advances in Geosciences is the result of a concerted effort to bring together the latest results and planning activities related to earth and space science in Asia and the international arena.

Diese lang erwartete Neuauflage des erfolgreichen Buches von O.

In this highly accessible book, leading scientists from around the world give a general overview of research advances in their subject areas within the field of Astronomy.

The author has shown that practically all our laws, principles, and theories are not physically realizable, since they were derived from an empty space paradigm.

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.

In this volume a thorough review is given of waves in dusty plasmas, a fascinating new domain combining plasmas and charged dust, two omnipresent ingredients of the Universe.

Studying the complex physical systems of stellar jets necessitates the incorporation of nonlinear effects which occur on a wide variety of length and timescales.

Edited volume for researchers and graduate students in plasma physics, MHD and solar physics.

This book focuses on the non-traditional branches of physics and mechanics of shock waves that have arisen recently in connection with the intensive study of these waves in a wide variety of phenomena - from nuclear matter to clusters of galaxies.

This book provides an introduction to the physics of interstellar gas in the Galaxy.

Revised second edition for advanced undergraduate students in astronomy and astrophysics.

Ist die Zeit ewig?

One of the most spectacular discoveries of molecular astronomy has been the detection of maser emission.

This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection.

For the first time in human history, developments in many branches of science provide us with an opportunity of formula- ting a comprehensive picture of the universe from its beginning to the present time.

The importance and the beauty of modern quantum field theory resides in the power and variety of its methods and ideas, which find application in domains as different as particle physics, cosmology, condensed matter, statistical mechanics and critical phenomena.

For a quantitative understanding of the physics of the universe - from the solar system through the milky way to clusters of galaxies all the way to cosmology - these edited lecture notes are perhaps among the most concise and also among the most critical ones: Astrophysics has not yet stood the redundancy test of laboratory physics, hence should be aware of early interpretations.
