'An incredible tour of our universe's greatest mysteries' Professor Dan Hooper This cutting-edge book investigates the extraordinary potential of multimessenger astronomy to revolutionise our understanding of the universe The spectacular advances of modern astronomy have opened our horizon on an unexpected cosmos: a dark, mysterious universe, populated by enigmatic entities we know very little about, like black holes, or nothing at all, like dark matter and dark energy.

Pulsating and eccentric binary stars play a fundamentally important role in deciphering the mass distribution within stars.

This was a joint meeting of the Johns Hopkins Workshop and PASCOS.

This book serves as a good introduction to the physics of pulsars by explaining the subject matter in simple terms which are understandable to both undergraduate physics students and also the general public.

The subject of this volume in the Astrophysics and Space Science Library is Electro- magnetic Radiation in Space.

Over the last decade, astrophysical observations of neutron stars - both as isolated and binary sources - have paved the way for a deeper understanding of the structure and dynamics of matter beyond nuclear saturation density.

This book provides an introduction to relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics, with particular emphasis on its derivation from microscopic transport theory.

A recommendation of the NRC's decadal survey in solar and space physics, published in 2002, was the Small Instrument Distributed Ground-Based Network, which would provide global-scale ionospheric and upper atmospheric measurements crucial to understanding the atmosphere-ionosphere-magnetosphere system.

High Time Resolution Astrophysics (HTRA) is an important new window to the universe and a vital tool in understanding a range of phenomena from diverse objects and radiative processes.

This volume contains the written versions of the lectures given at the 26th course of the renowned Saas-Fee series.

This book focuses on nonextensive statistical mechanics, a current generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics.

Modern cosmology has changed significantly over the years, from the discovery to the precision measurement era.

It turned out to be really a rare and happy occasion that we know exact1y when and how a new branch of space physics was born, namely, a physics of solar cosmic rays.

The aim of this Advanced Study Institute was to give an account on the most recent results obtained in solar research.

This book presents a study of the various feelings of awe and wonder experienced by astronauts during space flight.

The Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI) was founded at Nagoya University in 2010 under the directorship of T Maskawa, in celebration of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics for M Kobayashi and T Maskawa, both who are alumni of Nagoya University.

2 With a global average irradiance of 342 W/m , the Sun is by far the largest source of energy for planet Earth.

Uncover the Secrets of the Universe Hidden at Wavelengths beyond Our Optical GazeWilliam Herschel's discovery of infrared light in 1800 led to the development of astronomy at wavelengths other than the optical.

Since Einstein first described them nearly a century ago, gravitational waves have been the subject of more sustained controversy than perhaps any other phenomenon in physics.

With foreword by astrophysicist and Queen guitarist Brian MayThis book describes the unlikely development of astrophysics in Spain, set against the final decade of Franco's rule and the country's transition to democracy.

This book provides an up-to-date overview of the foundations of spacetime physics.

2022 Winner - CHOICE Outstanding Academic TitleThe determination of stellar ages has been - and still is - crucial for the development of our understanding of the universe, and to constrain theoretical models for the formation of galaxies and the evolution of planetary systems.

This third edition of Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems and Integration - Enabling Technologies for Space Exploration, has been updated and expanded.

The magnetosphere is the region where cosmic rays and the solar wind interact with the Earth's magnetic field, creating such phenomena as the northern lights and other aurorae.

Essential Spaceflight Dynamics and Magnetospherics describes, in the first instance, some of the key aspects of celestial mechanics and spaceflight dynamics.

The year is 2007, the fiftieth anniversary of the Space Age.

The 3-D Atlas of the Stars and Galaxies shows the stars and A star at twice that distance (and showing a parallax of one-half galaxies in three-dimensional space, with the third of a second of arc) is said to be at a distance of'two parsecs'; one dimension- distance- dire.

This book describes the most important contributions of Italian astronomers to the development of planetary astronomy during the nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth century.

This book looks at both the strengths and weaknesses of the current big-bang model in explaining certain puzzling data.

Written for graduate students and researchers, this book presents an up-to-date overview of the phenomenology and impact of magnetic fields.

Drawing on his vast knowledge and direct experience of most of the key events in astronomy and space exploration during this century, Patrick Moore takes a sideways look at the historical reports and contemporary thought behind a wide range of astronomical topics.

The conference recorded in this volume was one of the events organised to celebrate the centenary of the (re)establishment of the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, on Blackford Hill in 1884.

This is a most important review volume providing a summary of black hole physics in the last 25 years.

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.

This book highlights selected topics of standard and modern theory of accretion onto black holes and magnetized neutron stars.

This second edition of Mike Inglis's classic guide to observing the Milky Way in the Northern Hemisphere updates all of the science with new findings from the astrophysics field, as well as featuring a larger format with entirely re-drawn maps.

A brief, cutting-edge introduction to the brightest cosmic phenomena known to scienceGamma-ray bursts are the brightest-and, until recently, among the least understood-cosmic events in the universe.
