This book describes the basic physical principles of atomic spectroscopy and the absorption and emission of radiation in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas.
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 thesis develops new and powerful methods for identifying planetary signals in the presence of "e;noise"e; generated by stellar activity, and explores the physical origin of stellar intrinsic variability, using unique observations of the Sun seen as a star.
Labor Erde ist eine brillante Einführung in das Studium des Planeten Erde, von den kosmischen Ursprüngen ihrer Elemente bis hin zu der Beeinflussung der Atmosphäre durch die Menschheit und den klimatischen Änderungen, die uns bevorstehen.
This book reviews the phenomenology displayed by relativistic jets as well as the most recent theoretical efforts to understand the physical mechanisms at their origin.
Extreme Habitable Environments is a book authored with the intention of providing introductory material suitable for those interested in learning about exoplanets.
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.
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.
A concise introduction to cosmology and how light first emerged in the universeThough astrophysicists have developed a theoretical framework for understanding how the first stars and galaxies formed, only now are we able to begin testing those theories with actual observations of the very distant, early universe.
In view of the current and forthcoming observational data on pulsar wind nebulae, this book offers an assessment of the theoretical state of the art of modelling them.
Containing the latest, groundbreaking discoveries in the field, this text outlines the basics of Einstein's theory of gravity with a focus on its most important astrophysical consequences, including stellar structures, black holes and the physics of gravitational waves.
ROCKET PROPULSION ELEMENTS THE DEFINITIVE INTRODUCTION TO ROCKET PROPULSION THEORY AND APPLICATIONSThe recent upsurge in global government and private spending and in space flight events has resulted in many novel applications of rocket propulsion technology.
Il volume è un'introduzione alla Fisica Solare che si propone lo scopo di illustrare alla persona che intende avvicinarsi a questa disciplina (studenti, dottori di ricerca, ricercatori) i meccanismi fisici che stanno alla base della complessa fenomenologia osservata sulla stella a noi più vicina.
Solar-terrestrial physics deals with phenomena in the region of space between the surface of the Sun and the upper atmosphere of the Earth, a region dominated by matter in a plasma state.
This volume considers the role comets may have played in the origins and evolution of life, particularly in light of recent investigations of Halley's comet, of new insights into organic synthesis in meteorites and comets, and of new results of numerical simulations of cometary orbits and impacts on Earth.
In this book we summarize the essential results of our efforts over the years to calculate energies, wave functions, and electromagnetic transitions of atoms as functions of the magnetic field strength from laboratory fields up to neutron star magnetic fields.
A comprehensive account of sunspots and starspots for graduate students, astronomers, geophysicists, space physicists and experts in solar and stellar physics.
