Fifty Years of Quasars
Formatted as a series of interviews with noted researchers in the field, this book reviews the history of quasar research and describes how advances in instrumentation and computation have aided quasar astronomy and changed our basic understanding of quasars.
Probing Galaxies Through Quasar Absorption Lines (IAU C199)
Review of recent research in the field of quasar absorption line systems.
GravItational Lensing of Quasars
The universe, in all its richness, diversity and complexity, is populated by a myriad of intriguing celestial objects. Among the most exotic of them are gravitationally lensed quasars. A quasar is an extremely bright nucleus of a galaxy, and when such an object is gravitationally lensed, multiple images of the quasar are produced – this phenomenon of cosmic mirage can provide invaluable insights on burning questions, such as the nature of dark matter and dark energy. After presenting the basics of modern cosmology, GravItational Lensing of Quasars describes active galactic nuclei, the theory of gravitational lensing, and presents a particular numerical technique to improve the resolution o...
Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei
The latest observations and theoretical models are combined in this clear, pedagogic textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students.
Quasars at All Cosmic Epochs
The last 50 years have seen a tremendous progress in the research on quasars. From a time when quasars were unforeseen oddities, we have come to a view that considers quasars as active galactic nuclei, with nuclear activity a coming-of-age experienced by most or all galaxies in their evolution. We have passed from a few tens of known quasars of the early 1970s to the 500,000 listed in the catalogue of the Data Release 14 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Not surprisingly, accretion processes on the central black holes in the nuclei of galaxies — the key concept in our understanding of quasars and active nuclei in general — have gained an outstanding status in present-day astrophysics. Acc...
What Are Quasars?
This eBook explores the deep-space objects commonly known as "quasars," and provides its readers with a fundamental understanding for both their origins and purpose in the universe at large.
Quasars, Redshifts, and Controversies
