Interacting Binary Stars (Cambridge Astrophysics)
This introductory account provides the physical background to an understanding of interacting binary stars. These are star systems in which the pair of members is close enough to each other to cause interactions. Several such systems are strong…
Cosmic Catastrophes
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…
Variable stars
A variable star is a star whose brightness as seen from Earth (its apparent magnitude) fluctuates. This variation may be caused by a change in emitted light or by something partly blocking the light, so variable stars are classified as either
Stars and their Spectra: An Introduction to the Spectral Sequence
This unique and informative text describes how stars are classified according to their spectral qualities and temperature. James Kaler explains the alphabet of stellar astronomy, running from cool M stars to hot O stars, and tells the story of their…
Stars (A Scientific American Library Book)
In this fascinating Journey to the farther reaches of space, astronomer James Kaler explores the nature of stars, describing their origins, varieties, distributions, compositions, and distinctive histories. He demonstrates that stars are the key to…
The Little Book of stars (Little Book Series)
Looking up on a clear night at the starry sky is one of our most sublime experiences. We ascribe great powers to the stars, from the myths of the ancient constellations to modern-day horoscopes, and in everything from our luck to our romantic lives,…
Galactic Dynamics (Princeton Series in Astrophysics)
Two of the world's leading astrophysicists, James Binney and Scott Tremaine, here present a comprehensive review of the theory of galactic dynamics at a level suitable for both graduate students and researchers. Their work in this volume describes…
Extreme stars
Over the past 200 years, our knowledge of stars has expanded enormously. From seeing myriad dots of different brightnesses, we have moved on to measure their distances, temperatures, sizes, chemical compositions, and even ages, finding both young and…
the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Stars
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,…
De Sterren
Een hemel vol sterren zien we nog zelden in onze streken: de overal heersende verlichting zorgt voor een bijna sterrenloze hemel... Toch zijn nog niet alle sterren verdwenen en kunnen we hier en daar (zeker op vakantie op een donkere plaats) genieten…
