Pathways Through an Eclectic Universe
"This book contains the proceedings of a conference, held on 23-27 April in Tenerife, to discuss recent progress on star formation in galaxies. Presentations took into account advances in related areas such as the structure, dynamics, and evolution of galaxies, their stellar and dark matter components, central black holes as clues to their histories, the physics of the interstellar medium, and the feedback on all spatial scales between star formation and the host galaxy. This volume contains more than a hundred papers on these topics including invited reviews, invited and contributed talks, poster presentations, and two panel discussion sessions. These articles provide an in-depth assessment...
Penetrating Bars through Masks of Cosmic Dust
THE EDITORS: DAVID L. BLOCK AND KENNETH C. FREEMAN (SOC CO-CHAIRS), IVANIO PUERARI, ROBERT GROESS AND LIZ K. BLOCK 1. Harvard College Observatory, 1958 The past century has truly brought about an explosive period of growth and discovery for the physical sciences as a whole, and for astronomy in particular. Galaxy morphology has reached a renaissance . . The year: 1958. The date: October 1. The venue: Harvard College Observatory. The lecturer: Walter Baade. With amazing foresight, Baade penned these words: "Young stars, supergiants and so on, make a terrific splash - lots of light. The total mass of these can be very small compared to the total mass of the system". Dr Layzer then asked the ke...
Multimessenger Astronomy
Written by a professional astronomer who has worked on a wide spectrum of topics throughout his career, this book gives a popular science level description of what has become known as multimessenger astronomy. It links the new with the traditional, showing how astronomy has advanced at increasing pace in the modern era. In the second decade of the twenty-first century astronomy has seen the beginnings of a revolution. After centuries when all our information about the Universe has come via electromagnetic waves, now several entirely new ways of exploring it have emerged. The most spectacular has been the detection of gravitational waves in 2015, but astronomy also uses neutrinos and cosmic r...
Cosmic Magnetic Fields (IAU S259)
IAU Symposium 259 presents the first interdisciplinary, comprehensive review of the role of cosmic magnetic fields, involving astronomers and physicists from across the community. Offering both theoretical and observational topics ranging from Earth's habitability to the origin of the universe, this is an invaluable summary for researchers and graduate students.
Science with Minisat 01
This book includes the proceedings of the Workshop held in Madrid, April 1999 to celebrate 2 years of successful operation of the first Spanish small scientific satellite in orbit. It contains discussions about the overall philosophy of small mission programs, the design of the satellite and its payload as well as the most relevant scientific outcome of the mission. Also included are additional contributions to the workshop, which are of importance to Minisat 01 in order to put its results within context. Finally, the future of small missions for space sciences is reviewed together with the main technological challenges for new studies. Out of the technological and scientific results of Mini...
The Universe at Large
Eleven of the world's greatest living astronomers and cosmologists present their personal views of key problems in contemporary astronomy and cosmology.
Evolutionary Phenomena in Galaxies
This review of evolutionary phenomena in galaxies brings together contributions by experts on all the relevant physics & astrophysics necessary to understand galaxies & how they work. The book is based on the proceedings of a conference held in July 1988 in Puerta de la Cruz, timed to coincide with the first year operation of the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope. The broad range of topics covered includes the formation of galaxies & their ages, stellar dynamics, galactic scale gas & its role in star formation, & the formation, production & distribution of the chemical elements within galaxies. All the topics are treated by theorists & observers to ensure a scope to understanding the level of success between the two, & to determine where the major gaps in our understanding lie. The book is comprised of some twenty-five articles by leading practitioners in the field, such as Rees, Renzini, Danziger, Matteucci, Audouze, Pagel, Wielen, Arimoto, Beckman & Canal. This comprehensive study will be valuable to professionals, researchers & graduate students interested in the evolution of galaxies.
Reactions And Synthesis In Surfactant Systems
This work offers a comprehensive review of surfactant systems in organic, inorganic, colloidal, surface, and materials chemistry. It provides practical applications to reaction chemistry, organic and inorganic particle formation, synthesis and processing, molecular recognition and surfactant templating. It also allows closer collaboration between synthetic and physical practitioners in developing new materials and devices.
The Evolution of Galaxies on Cosmological Timescales
Annotation Incorporating the invited papers from the December 1998 conference, a sequel to the conference held in 1988, this volume explores theory and observations leading to greater understanding of the evolution of galaxies, bringing together information from near objects and using local information to help interpret more distant sources. Organized into five sections, contributions analyze the chemistry, structure, and dynamics of our galaxy; reflect on the structure and internal dynamics of galaxies at low redshift; examine IMFs, SFRs, and chemical evolution; discuss stellar populations and mergers; and reach back to explore the earliest evolutionary data.
