Gravitational N-Body Simulations
This book discusses in detail all the relevant numerical methods for the classical N-body problem. It demonstrates how to develop clear and elegant algorithms for models of gravitational systems, and explains the fundamental mathematical tools needed to describe the dynamics of a large number of mutually attractive particles. Particular attention is given to the techniques needed to model astrophysical phenomena such as close encounters and the dynamics of black hole binaries. The author reviews relevant work in the field and covers applications to the problems of planetary formation and star cluster dynamics, both of Pleiades type and globular clusters. Self-contained and pedagogical, this book is suitable for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics, astronomy and cosmology.
Understanding the Universe
A Scientific Introduction to Subatomic particles, Alien Intelligence, and Human Space Exploration (For the Cosmically Curious): There are many fundamental questions about the universe that have intrigued scientists, philosophers, and ordinary people for centuries. Here are a few of them: What is the universe made of? This is one of the most basic questions about the universe. Scientists have identified a number of different types of matter and energy, including atoms, subatomic particles, dark matter, and dark energy, but there is still much we don't know. How did the universe begin? The origin of the universe is a subject of intense study and debate. The prevailing theory is the Big Bang, w...
A Mathematician's Journey to the Edge of the Universe
Have you ever wondered what the ultimate question is? The one question that, if answered, would reveal the secrets of the universe? In this book, the author takes you on a journey to the edge of the universe, exploring the latest scientific theories about the origins, structure, and fate of our cosmos. Along the way, you'll learn about the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy, black holes, string theory, and other mind-bending concepts. You'll also meet the brilliant scientists who have dedicated their lives to unravelling the mysteries of the universe. This thought-provoking book seamlessly weaves together the realms of mathematics, cosmology, and philosophy to unravel the profound enigmas th...
The Mystery of Dark Matter
Get ready to embark on the exciting search for dark matter—the invisible mass that dominates our universe. This popular science book explains why this mysterious dark matter has been incorporated into the standard model of the universe and how scientists are able to “observe” the invisible. The book starts with the early indications of the existence of dark matter, including the strange cohesion of galaxy clusters, before moving on to modern observations like cosmic background radiation. Along the way, you will learn about the direct and indirect methods being used by researchers to track down dark matter and whatever is behind this strange phenomenon. The Mystery of Dark Matter will a...
Dictionary of Minor Planet Names
The quantity of numbered minor planets is now approaching half a million. Together with this Addendum, the sixth edition of the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names, which is the IAU's official reference for the field, now covers more than 19,000 named minor planets. In addition to being of practical value for identification purposes, the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names provides authoritative information about the basis for the rich and colorful variety of ingenious names, from heavenly goddesses to artists, from scientists to Nobel laureates, from historical or political figures to ordinary women and men, from mountains to buildings, as well as a variety of compound terms and curiosities. This Addendum to the 6th edition of the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names adds approximately 2200 entries. It also contains many corrections, revisions and updates to the entries published in earlier editions. This work is an abundant source of information for anyone interested in minor planets and who enjoys reading about the people and things minor planets commemorate.
Das Rätsel Dunkle Materie
Mit diesem Buch begeben Sie sich auf die spannende Suche nach der Dunklen Materie, die nach dem aktuellen Stand der Forschung den Großteil der Masse unseres Universums ausmacht. Der Autor erklärt anschaulich, welche Schlüsselbeobachtungen dazu geführt haben, eine unsichtbare Massenkomponente in das Weltbild unseres Universums aufzunehmen. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt auf den „Beobachtungen“ des Unsichtbaren: angefangen von den frühen Hinweisen des sonderbaren Zusammenhalts von Galaxienhaufen hin zu den aktuellen Beobachtungen wie beispielsweise der kosmischen Hintergrundstrahlung. Darüber hinaus erfahren Sie, mit welchen direkten und indirekten Messmethoden Forscher derzeit versuchen, der Dunklen Materie auf die Spur zu kommen und was sich hinter dem Phänomen verbergen könnte. „Das Rätsel Dunkle Materie“ ist ein Buch für alle, die wissen wollen, was es mit der unsichtbaren Masse, die unser Universum erfüllt, auf sich hat und wie man versucht, dem Mysterium auf die Spur zu kommen.
