New Quests in Stellar Astrophysics II
This book presents an up-to-date collection of reviews and contributed articles in the field of ultraviolet astronomy. Its content has been mainly motivated by the recent access to the rest frame UV light of distant red galaxies, gained through large optical facilities. This driveway has derived in a renewed interest on the stars that presumably dominate or have important effects on the integrated UV properties of evolved systems of the nearby and faraway Universe. The topics included in this volume extend from the fresh spectroscopic analyses of high redshift early-type galaxies observed with the 8-10m class telescopes to the fundamental outcomes from various satellites, from the long-lived International Ultraviolet Explorer to current facilities, such as the Galaxy Evolution Explorer. This is one of the few volumes published in recent years devoted to UV astronomical research and the only one dedicated to the properties of evolved stellar populations at these wavelengths. This contemporary panorama will be an invaluable resource in the preparation of the next planned space missions, such as the World Space Observatory and the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope.
New Quests in Stellar Astrophysics: The Link Between Stars and Cosmology
Stellar astrophysics still provides the basic framework for deciphering the imprints left over by the evolving universe on all scales. Advances or shortcomings in the former field have direct consequences in our ability to understand the global properties of the latter. This volume contains the most recent updates on a variety of topics that, though independent by themselves, are inevitably connected on a cosmological scale. These include comprehensive articles by leaders in fields extending from stellar atmospheres through properties of the stellar component in the Milky Way up to the stellar environment in high redshift galaxies. The wide coverage of astrophysical themes makes this volume very valuable for researchers and Ph.D. students in astrophysics.
Jingle Bloody Bells
Babbo Natale pubblica il suo primo libro ed esordisce in digitale, attraverso le narrazioni di nove autori italiani che ci parlano della propria visione del Natale. La notte più magica dell'anno si trasforma così in un teatro di morte e orrore, a volte venato di ironia, a volte sprofondato nella tenebra più profonda. Follia, perfidia, vendetta, mostruosità, demoni, zombie e folletti si alternano sul palcoscenico natalizio, dando vita a una giostra di sangue che vi farà dubitare della bontà del Natale. Per fortuna, penserà Santa Claus a mettere tutto a posto. Dalla sua introduzione: "Natale non è soltanto la gioiosa festa che tutti pensano, per quanto io mi sforzi di far sì che tutti lo credano, è chiaro. In questo giorno - e soprattutto la notte - accadono le cose più assurde. Solo in superficie è un momento di gioia, per molti il Natale è quell'unico giorno nell'anno in cui fare qualcosa di diverso per cambiare le cose. E, in genere, in peggio."
International Symposium on Astrophysics Research and on the Dialogue Between Science and Religion
International Symposium on Astrophysics Research and on the Dialogue between Science and Religion presents the results of a meeting sponsored by the Vatican Observatory and inspired by its recent devotion to two major new initiatives. In addition to continuing its programs of research in astro- physics, during the past decade the Vatican Observatory has sought to provide (1) scholastic dialogue between science and religion, and (2) education and research in astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology for aspiring young scholars, particularly those from developing countries. The symposium itself was designed to promote dialogue between science and religion among established scholars that would also find a place in the work and lives of such young scholars. The result is this unique contribution to literature that combines presentations of research results by young scientists with discussions on modern topics in the interdisciplinary area of science and religion.
