Walter Baade: A Life in Astrophysics
ISBN: 9780691049366 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Although less well known outside the field than Edwin Hubble, Walter Baade was arguably the most influential observational astronomer of the twentieth century. Written by a fellow astronomer deeply familiar with Baade and his work, this is the first biography of this major figure in American astronomy. In it, Donald Osterbrock suggests that Baade's greatest contribution to astrophysics was not, as is often contended, his revision of Hubble's distance and age scales for the universe. Rather, it was his discovery of two distinct stellar populations: old and young stars. This discovery...

Eye on the Sky: Lick Observatory's First Century
ISBN: 9780520268692 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The world's first mountain-top observatory and America's first big-science research center, Lick Observatory exemplifies astronomy's dramatic development in the past century. A dedicated Confederate naval officer and his jack-of-all-trades foreman used the bequest of a miserly California eccentric to transform an isolated mountain peak into the world's premier research observatory. Its first staff included a director from West Point and three of the outstanding astronomers of their time. Since its dedication in 1888, Lick Observatory has been the site of many of the most important discoveries...

James E. Keeler: Pioneer American Astrophysicist: And the Early Development of American Astrophysics
ISBN: 9780521524803 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This is the biography of James E. Keeler (1857 1900), a distinguished pioneer of astrophysics, the application of the methods of physics to understanding the nature of the stars, nebulae, planets, comets, and other objects that populate the universe. Keeler was an outstanding scientist, and his fellow astronomers and physicists at the end of the nineteenth century considered him the leading astronomical spectroscopist of his generation. His career was closely linked with that of George Ellery Hale, founder of Yerkes Observatory. Keeler himself was the first astronomer at Lick Observatory, and...
