Briefly looks at the history of astronomy, discusses the characteristics of light, and provides overview of radio, microwave, infrared, ultraviolent, x-ray, and gamma ray astronomy

Dit boekje bevat de teksten van zes lezingen in verband met supernovae, gehouden op een studiedag aan de Vrije Universiteit Brussel op 26 april 1980. De lezingen behandelen waarnemingen van supernovae, de evolutie van een ster tot supernova, de…

First published in 1986, this is the story of the analysis of starlight by astronomical spectroscopy. Beginning with Joseph Fraunhofer's discovery of spectral lines in the early nineteenth century, this new edition continues the story through to the…

This book presents a detailed pedagogical account of the equation of state and its applications in several important and fast growing topics in theoretical physics, chemistry and engineering. This book is the storv of the analysis of starlight by…

This book presents a summary of our observational knowledge of the behavior of all chemical elements identified in stars. Whenever possible the behavior is described quantitatively, with the help of equivalent widths in different types of stars…

It is pointed out that there is an upper limit to the brightness of stars, beyond which no star can exist. It is shown that this limit coincides with the brightness limit for which the effective acceleration (i.e., the sum of the effects of…

Written for a broad audience by a noted astronomer, this encyclopedia begins with an overview of the stars and constellations and then proceeds to chapters covering the location of stars, magnitudes, cosmic distances, the galaxy in motion, spectra,…

Simple chemistry governs a host of the exotic objects that populate our cosmos. For example, molecules in the early Universe acted as natural temperature regulators, keeping the primordial gas cool and, in turn, allowing galaxies and stars to form.…
