First comprehensive, beginning graduate level book on the emergent science of astrobiology.
L'astrophysique a pour objet de comprendre la physique de l'origine, la structure et l'évolution des objets de l'Univers. Des étoiles à l’Univers, cet ouvrage accompagne l'étudiant dans son assimilation des connaissances des principaux objets astrophysiques. Dans chaque chapitre, il trouvera un rappel de cours concis suivi d’énoncés d'exercices et de problèmes classés par ordre de difficulté croissante. Les solutions détaillées sont rassemblées en fin d’ouvrage et ponctuées de conseils méthodologiques.
StarGuides Plus represents the most comprehensive and accurately validated collection of practical data on organizations involved in astronomy, related space sciences and other related fields. This invaluable reference source (and its companion volume, StarBriefs Plus) should be on the reference shelf of every library, organization or individual with any interest in these areas. The coverage includes relevant universities, scientific committees, institutions, associations, societies, agencies, companies, bibliographic services, data centers, museums, dealers, distributors, funding organizations, journals, manufacturers, meteorological services, national norms & standard institutes, parent as...
In the 12 years since the first discovery of an exoplanet around a main sequence star (51 Peg), more than 270 exoplanets have been detected. The proceedings of IAU Symposium 249 present the latest theoretical and observational advances in the field of exoplanet research, including the ongoing and future projects such as CoRoT and Kepler. The volume opens with a review of exoplanet detection and orbital determination techniques, before looking at the physics of gas giant atmospheres and close-in stars. The topics of planet formation, migration and the dynamical evolution of protoplanetary disks and multi-planet systems are also covered in detail. IAU S249 is a useful reference for the graduate students and researchers working in the exciting field of exoplanet study.
"Comment se forment et évoluent les galaxies? Pour tenter de répondre à cette interrogation, j'ai développé un nouveau concept d'instrument pour analyser la lumières des astres. Cette invention a donné naissance à toute une famille d'instruments qui sont devenus aujourd'hui un standard de l'instrumentation des grands télescopes. Ce fut une belle aventure, qui m'a amené à côtoyer un grand nombre d'esprits brillants : des chercheurs, des ingénieurs et des industriels, de toutes nationalités, tous engagés vers un même et noble objectif, celui de la quête de connaissance. J'ai eu la chance de réaliser des instruments et de conduire des observations pour les plus grands télesco...
The proceedings of MG16 give a broad view of all aspects of gravitational physics and astrophysics, from mathematical issues to recent observations and experiments. The scientific program of the meeting included 46 plenary presentations, 3 public lectures, 5 round tables and 81 parallel sessions arranged during the intense six-day online meeting. All talks were recorded and are available on the ICRANet YouTube channel at the following link: www.icranet.org/video_mg16.These proceedings are a representative sample of the very many contributions made at the meeting. They contain 383 papers, among which 14 come from the plenary sessions.The material represented in these proceedings cover the fol...
