Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis
An ideal bridging text for astrophysics and physics majors looking to move on from the introductory texts.
Visual Astronomy with a Small Telescope
This is a practical guide to using a small astronomical telescope of a size that corresponds to most “first” telescopes – around 75-150 mm, i.e. 3-6 inches, in diameter. Visual Astronomy with a Small Telescope is for people who are sufficiently interested in astronomy to have purchased a small telescope or received one as a gift, but who are still developing experience of using one. They may have looked at the Moon and major planets and be wondering, “What's next?” There are many books catering for casual star-gazing and many more advanced books dealing with astrophotography and astrophysics, but this is for someone who has acquired their first telescope or soon will and wants to m...
Origin And Evolution Of The Elements - Proceedings Of The International Symposium
This volume covers a variety of modern aspects of the observational, experimental and theoretical studies on the origin, evolution and distribution of the elements in the Universe. The topics include “Early Universe and Primordial Nucleosynthesis”, “Evolution of Galaxies”, “Nucleosynthesis in Novae and Supernovae”, “Neutron Stars and Hadronic Matter”, and “Nuclear Astrophysics”.
A Journey through the Universe
A comprehensive, up-to-date survey of our knowledge of the Universe beyond Earth, for general readers and astronomy enthusiasts.
From Lithium to Uranium (IAU S228)
Proceedings of IAU S228 detailing progress in our knowledge of element production and evolution.
Observing the Universe
Observing the Universe introduces a range of techniques and skills that will be useful for those wishing to undertake observational work in astronomy and planetary science. Observations have played, and continue to play, a crucial role in developing our understanding of the Universe, and the best way to get a feel for the role of observations is to do some. This comprehensive guide provides a sound basis for tackling astronomy and planetary science observations. It concentrates on generic aspects of observations, including the principles of telescopes and detectors, photometry and spectroscopy, microscopy techniques for analysing samples, teamwork skills, planning for a session at an observatory, keeping records of what you do, estimating uncertainties in measurements, analysing data numerically and graphically, and producing a written report. Including self-assessment questions with full solutions, this self-contained guide is suitable for undergraduate students of astronomy and planetary science, and serious amateur astronomers.
The Influence of Binaries on Stellar Population Studies
This book reviews recent observations of non-evolved and evolved binary populations in clusters and the field with special emphasis on statistical biases, incompleteness, and distribution functions. It considers different binary types and presents and discusses recent results in the field.
The Evolution of The Milky Way
This review of the most up-to-date observational and theoretical information concerning the chemical evolution of the Milky Way compares the abundances derived from field stars and clusters, giving information on the abundances and dynamics of gas.
The Magellanic System (IAU S256)
Provides the most complete and up-to-date account of our understanding of the Magellanic Clouds and the astrophysical processes within them.
New Quests in Stellar Astrophysics: The Link Between Stars and Cosmology
Stellar astrophysics still provides the basic framework for deciphering the imprints left over by the evolving universe on all scales. Advances or shortcomings in the former field have direct consequences in our ability to understand the global properties of the latter. This volume contains the most recent updates on a variety of topics that, though independent by themselves, are inevitably connected on a cosmological scale. These include comprehensive articles by leaders in fields extending from stellar atmospheres through properties of the stellar component in the Milky Way up to the stellar environment in high redshift galaxies. The wide coverage of astrophysical themes makes this volume very valuable for researchers and Ph.D. students in astrophysics.
