This textbook gives a clear account of the manner in which knowledge in many branches of physics such as gravitation, thermodynamics, atomic physics and nuclear physics can be combined to gain an understanding of the structure and evolution of stars.…

How does it happen that billions of stars can cooperate to produce the beautiful spirals that characterize so many galaxies, including ours? This book reviews the history behind the discovery of spiral galaxies and the problems faced when trying to…

On July 23, 1999, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, the most powerful X-ray telescope ever built, was launched aboard the space shuttle Columbia. Since then, Chandra has given us a view of the universe that is largely hidden from telescopes sensitive…

Compiled by a team of experts, this textbook introduces the properties and evolution of the most immediately visible objects in the Universe – stars. Designed for elementary university courses in astronomy and astrophysics, it starts with a detailed…

This book is an introduction to “multi-messenger” astrophysics. It covers the many different aspects connecting particle physics with astrophysics and cosmology and introduces astrophysics using numerous experimental findings recently obtained…

  Inhoud In de laatste jaren van de 20e eeuw is onze kennis over sterren en planetenstelsels enorm toegenomen door de grotere nauwkeurigheid van technologisch ernieuwde telescopen. Dat leverde veel nieuwe ontdekkingen op, zoals de neutrino's van de…

Introduces the physics behind single and binary stellar evolution, assuming no prior knowledge of astronomy Focuses on the evolution of stars to the end point of white dwarf, neutron star, and black hole binary systems Fills the niche between…

Faculteit Wetenschappen Vakgroep Fysica en Sterrenkunde Datareductie en stabiliteitsanalyse van IC3328 Masterproef ingediend tot het behalen van de graad Master in de Fysica en Sterrenkunde

From supernovae and gamma-ray bursts to the accelerating Universe, this is an exploration of the intellectual threads that lead to some of the most exciting ideas in modern astrophysics and cosmology. This fully updated second edition incorporates…

Bulges lie at the center of spiral galaxies. Until recently, they were thought to host uniquely old stellar populations and thus provide a key for understanding galaxy formation. Recent observations from the ground and space have drastically changed…
