Black Holes in the Era of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy
Black Holes in the Era of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy provides a multidisciplinary, up-to-date view of the physics of black holes, along with an exhaustive overview of crucial open questions and recent advancements in the astrophysics of black holes in the wake of incredible advancements made in the last decade. It includes discussions on improvements in theoretical modeling and observational perspectives for black holes of all sizes, along with associated challenges. The book's structure and themes will enable an entwined understanding of black hole physics at all scales, thus avoiding the compartmentalized view that is typical of more specialized manuscripts and reviews.This book is a com...
Back to the Moon
A scientist’s inspiring vision of our return to the Moon as humanity’s next thrilling step in space exploration Just over half a century since Neil Armstrong first stepped foot on the lunar surface, a new space race to the Moon is well underway and rapidly gaining momentum. Laying out a vision for the next fifty years, Back to the Moon is astrophysicist Joseph Silk’s persuasive and impassioned case for putting scientific discovery at the forefront of lunar exploration. The Moon offers opportunities beyond our wildest imaginings, and plans to return are rapidly gaining momentum around the world. NASA aims to build a habitable orbiting space station to coordinate lunar development and ex...
Nanohertz Gravitational Wave Astronomy
Nanohertz Gravitational Wave Astronomy explores the exciting hunt for low frequency gravitational waves by using the extraordinary timing precision of pulsars. The book takes the reader on a tour across the expansive gravitational-wave landscape, from LIGO detections to the search for polarization patterns in the Cosmic Microwave Background, then hones in on the band of nanohertz frequencies that Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) are sensitive to. Within this band may lie many pairs of the most massive black holes in the entire Universe, all radiating in chorus to produce a background of gravitational waves. The book shows how such extra-Galactic gravitational waves can alter the arrival times of ...
Fifteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting, The: On Recent Developments In Theoretical And Experimental General Relativity, Astrophysics, And Relativistic Field Theories - Proceedings Of The Mg15 Meeting On General Relativity (In 3 Volumes)
The three volumes of the proceedings of MG15 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 40 morning plenary talks over 6 days, 5 evening popular talks and nearly 100 parallel sessions on 71 topics spread over 4 afternoons. These proceedings are a representative sample of the very many oral and poster presentations made at the meeting.Part A contains plenary and review articles and the contributions from some parallel sessions, while Parts B and C consist of those from the remaining parallel sessions. The contents range from the mathematical foundatio...
Thirteenth Marcel Grossmann Meeting, The: On Recent Developments In Theoretical And Experimental General Relativity, Astrophysics And Relativistic Field Theories - Proceedings Of The Mg13 Meeting On General Relativity (In 3 Volumes)
The Marcel Grossmann Meetings seek to further the development of the foundations and applications of Einstein's general relativity by promoting theoretical understanding in the relevant fields of physics, mathematics, astronomy and astrophysics and to direct future technological, observational, and experimental efforts. The meetings discuss recent developments in classical and quantum aspects of gravity, and in cosmology and relativistic astrophysics, with major emphasis on mathematical foundations and physical predictions, having the main objective of gathering scientists from diverse backgrounds for deepening our understanding of spacetime structure and reviewing the current state of the a...
Spektrum Kompakt - Schwarze Löcher
Schwarze Löcher gehören schon längst nicht mehr in die Nische aberwitziger Theorien, sondern haben sich im Alltag der Astrophysik etabliert. Inzwischen finden Astronominnen und Astronomen viele Phänomene im Weltall, die sich nur mit diesen extrem kompakten Raumzeitfallen erklären lassen. Ein starkes Argu-ment für die Existenz Schwarzer Löcher lieferten in jüngster Zeit die Radiobilder des Event Horizon Telescope. Sie zeigen im Zentrum der Galaxie Messier 87 und im Zentrum unseres Milchstraßensystems jeweils einen dunklen kompakten Schatten, der als Abbild eines extrem massereichen Schwarzen Lochs interpretiert wird. Inzwischen gibt es viele faszinierende Hypothesen rund um Schwarze Löcher, die deren Inneres sowie deren mögliche Rolle bei der Galaxienentwicklung und im Zusammenhang mit Dunkler Energie betreffen. In dieser Ausgabe erhalten Sie einen Einblick in diese hochinteressante aktuelle Forschung.

Deep-Sky Companions: Southern Gems
In Southern Gems, Stephen James O'Meara makes a detour beneath the southern skies, presenting a fresh list of 120 deep-sky objects for southern hemisphere stargazers to observe. Showcasing many exceptional objects catalogued by the pioneering observer James Dunlop, known as the 'Messier of the southern skies', all are visible through small- to moderate-sized telescopes or binoculars under dark skies. The list features some of the blackest dark nebulae, icy blue planetary nebulae and magnificent galaxies of all types. Each object is accompanied by beautiful photographs and sketches, original finder charts, visual histories and up-to-date astrophysical background information. Whether you live in the southern hemisphere or are just visiting, this new Deep-Sky Companion will make a perfect observing partner, whatever your background. There is no other southern sky guide like it on the market.
Zurück zum Mond
Gerade einmal ein halbes Jahrhundert, nachdem Neil Armstrong zum ersten Mal die Mondoberfläche betreten hat, entbrennt in diesen Tagen ein neuer Wettlauf zum Mond. Der Astrophysiker Joseph Silk entwirft in Zurück zum Mond eine Vision für die nächsten fünfzig Jahre und zeigt, dass der Mond Möglichkeiten bietet, die unsere kühnsten Vorstellungen übertreffen. Die NASA will eine bewohnbare Raumstation in der Umlaufbahn errichten, um die Entwicklung und Erforschung des Mondes zu koordinieren, während europäische und chinesische Raumfahrtbehörden Monddörfer und den Abbau wertvoller Ressourcen planen, die auf der Erde knapp werden. Mächtige internationale und kommerzielle Interessen tr...
