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...
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...
X-Ray Astronomy in the Exosat Era
Algol is a triple system containing a 70 hr eclipsing binary (K IV and B8 V) in a 694 day orbit with an A V star. The X-ray emission from this system (Schnopper et al 1976) is thought to be associated with a corona surrounding the lobe filling and synchron ously rotating K IV star. This is based on the similarity of the X-ray spectrum and luminosity of this system to that of the RS CVn binaries which also contain K sub-giants with similar rotation periods and the fact that the luminosity of any coronae surrounding the B8 V and AV companion stars should not be enhanced by rapid rotation (Pallavicini et al 1980, White et al 1980). The Einstein SSS measurement showed the X-ray spectrum to be tw...
Multimessenger Astronomie
Dieses Buch wurde von einem professionellen Astronomen geschrieben, der im Laufe seiner Karriere an einem breiten Spektrum von Themen gearbeitet hat, und bietet eine populärwissenschaftliche Beschreibung dessen, was als Multimessenger-Astronomie bekannt geworden ist. Es verbindet das Neue mit dem Traditionellen und zeigt, wie sich die Astronomie in der modernen Ära immer schneller weiterentwickelt hat. Im zweiten Jahrzehnt des einundzwanzigsten Jahrhunderts hat die Astronomie den Beginn einer Revolution erlebt. Nachdem wir jahrhundertelang alle Informationen über das Universum mittels elektromagnetischer Wellen erhalten haben, gibt es nun mehrere völlig neue Möglichkeiten, es zu erforsc...
