  This latest, up-to-date resource for research on extrasolar planets covers formation, dynamics, atmospheres and detection. After a look at the formation of giant planets, the book goes on to discuss the formation and dynamics of planets in…

A complete and comprehensive treatment of the physics of the stellar interior and the underlying fundamental processes and parameters. The text presents an overview of the models developed to explain the stability, dynamics and evolution of the…

Rigorous examination of relationship between loss of energy, mass and radius of stars in a steady state. Unabridged, corrected republication of original (1939) edition. "The material is throughout presented with enviable crispness and clarity of…

This book is based on the authors' long standing experience in teaching astronomy courses. It presents in a modern and complete way our present picture of the physics of the Milky Way system. The first part of the book deals with topics of more…

Voor aardse stervelingen is de afstand naar de maan al onvoorstelbaar groot, maar sterrenkundigen zijn gewend te werken met afstanden van miljoenen of miljarden lichtjaren. Hoe meet men al die afstanden en hoe ver in het heelal kunnen we eigenlijk…

De mens is een kind van de kosmos. Letterlijk: de atomen in ons lichaam zijn afkomstig uit het inwendige van andere sterren. Wij kunnen ons bestaan niet los zien van de evolutie van het heelal. Zonder de oerknal en zonder de vorming van…

This self-contained astrophysics textbook for advanced undergraduates explores how stars form, what happens to them as they age, and what becomes of them when they die. Students can investigate the physical processes sustaining the energy output of…

  Compiled by a team of experts, this textbook has been designed for elementary university courses in astronomy and astrophysics. Beginning with a discussion of our nearest star, the Sun, the volume then considers how astronomers study the basic…
