Knowledge Discovery in Big Data from Astronomy and Earth Observation: Astrogeoinformatics bridges the gap between astronomy and geoscience in the context of applications, techniques and key principles of big data. Machine learning and parallel computing are increasingly becoming cross-disciplinary as the phenomena of Big Data is becoming common place. This book provides insight into the common workflows and data science tools used for big data in astronomy and geoscience. After establishing similarity in data gathering, pre-processing and handling, the data science aspects are illustrated in the context of both fields. Software, hardware and algorithms of big data are addressed. Finally, the book offers insight into the emerging science which combines data and expertise from both fields in studying the effect of cosmos on the earth and its inhabitants.
Annotation Seventy-four papers from the June 2000 conference (held in Newark, Delaware) address topics like white dwarf evolution, atmospheres and chemical composition, sdB stars, white dwarfs in binaries, magnetic white dwarfs, variable white dwarfs, white dwarf data bases, and astronomy and surveys. The future of white dwarf observing, astronomical education, and public outreach are also discussed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Annotation These proceedings from the May-June 2000 conference in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming feature 32 full papers and 51 posters on the stellar structure of the galaxy, dust in the galaxy, the cool interstellar medium, the warm interstellar medium, very low-mass stars, evolved stars, dust and debris disks, and future prospects for research. An abstract is provided for each paper, and many contributors illustrate their findings with diagrams, graphs, or other images. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Annotation Forty-one contributions from international researchers attending the 2000 conference in Maryland discuss the physics and demographics of blazars. A sampling of topics includes images and polarization of compact jets in blazars, the emission line properties of DXRBS blazars, beaming in jets with evolving relativistic features, simultaneous optical and x-ray observations of BL Lacertae, and extragalactic radio source evolution and unification. The volume is not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
