This workshop is devoted to Double stars. The general topics of the meeting were: for mation, dynamics and evolutionary tracks. In accordance with the pure tradition of the Saint James way, "pilgrims" from all over the world come to meet together in Santiago. Although with a common interest (double stars), this meeting was a multidisciplinary one, since scientists with different backgrounds participated in it. As a matter of fact, we think that this is the first workshop jointly supported by IAU Commissions 7 (Celestial mechanics) and 26 (Double and multiple stars). It is our belief that this meeting will be the origin of a more close relations and common research. This meeting was held unde...
This book presents basic methods for numerical simulation of gravitational systems, demonstrating how to develop clear and elegant algorithms. It explains the fundamental mathematical tools needed to describe the dynamics of a large number of mutually attractive particles, and the techniques needed to model various known planetary and astrophysical phenomena.
The first study to subject the life and reign of the so-called Emperor Elagabalus to a thorough historical investigation.
Varius is the nomen of the Roman emperor misnamed Elagabalus or Heliogabalus. These are names of the Syrian sun god Elagabal, whose high priest Varius was while emperor. There is no evidence that he was ever so called when alive. Thus named, his posthumous legendary or mythical avatar thrives, in academic prose and popular imagination, as a Semitic monster of cruelty, depravity, fanaticism, mockery and extravagance. Recently, this monster has metamorphosed into an anarchist saint and martyr of gay liberation. This volume explores the historical individual behind Elagabalus and Heliogabalus. Varius was probably born AD 204 in Rome, to Syro-Roman parents linked to the Severan dynasty, and brou...
Succédant au « siècle d’or » des Antonins, les Sévères qui gouvernèrent l’Empire romain de 193 à 235 après J.-C jouissent d’une réputation exécrable. Si le fondateur de la dynastie, Septime Sévère, dépeint comme un personnage cynique et brutal, est relativement épargné par l’historiographie, ce n’est pas le cas de Caracalla, qui passe pour un soudard tyrannique, fratricide et incestueux, Géta pour une victime indolente, Sévère Alexandre pour un prince pusillanime gouverné par les femmes, Varius Avitus Bassianus, plus connu sous les sobriquets d’Héliogabale ou d’Élagabal, pour un fanatique obsédé par le sexe. Sans nier la face obscure de ces princes, l’...
