Of Stars and Men: Reminiscences of an Astronomer
ISBN: 9780852745670 / Angielski / Twarda / 1986 / 499 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The twentieth century has been a remarkable epoch in the affairs of men, and this is no less true of astronomy, at once the oldest and most modern of the sciences. Sky watchers at the beginning of the century measured positions and predicted celestial motions in faithful but uninspired homage to the Muse Urania; nowadays, their descendents call on all the resources of modern science to probe the nature and evolution of a bewildering range of celestial objects. Man has even set out to call personally on his nearest neighbours in space. Professor Zdenek Kopal has lived and practised astronomy...

Language of the Stars: A Discourse on the Theory of the Light Changes of Eclipsing Variables
ISBN: 9789027710017 / Angielski / Twarda / 1979 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Eclipsing Variables - What They can Tell Us and What We can do with Them The aim of the present book will be to provide an introduction to the inter- pretation of the observed light changes of eclipsing binary stars and their analysis for the elements of the respective systems. Whenever we study the properties of any celestial body - be it a planet or a star - all information we wish to gain can reach us through two different channels: their gravitational attraction, and their light. Gravitational interaction between our Earth and its celestial neighbours is, however, measurable only at...

The Moon in the Post-Apollo Era
ISBN: 9789027702784 / Angielski / Miękka / 1974 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The aim of the present book will be to summarize the results of the space exploration of the Moon in the past fifteen years -culminating in the manned Apollo missions of 1969-1972 -on the background of our previous acquaintance with our satellite made in the past by astronomical observations at a distance. Astronomy is one of the oldest branches of science conceived by the inquisitive human mind; though until quite recently it had been debarred from the status of a genuine experimental science by the remoteness of the objects of its study. With the sole exception of meteoritic matter which...

Mathematical Theory of Stellar Eclipses
ISBN: 9789401067294 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. ASTRONOMICAL ECLIPSE PHENOMENA In looking over the long history of human science from time immemorial to our own times, it is impossible to overestimate the role played in it by the phenomena of eclipses of the celestial bodies-both within our solar system as well as in the stellar universe at large. Not later than in the 4th century B. C. , the observed features of the shadow cast on the Moon by the Earth during eclipses led Aristotle (384-322 B. C. ) to formulate the first scientific proof worthy of that name of the spherical shape of the Earth; and only somewhat later, the eclipses of the...

The Roche Problem: And Its Significance for Double-Star Astronomy
ISBN: 9780792301295 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The words of this preface were written when the book was ready to go to the press; and are limited to only a few points which are best made in this place. As is intimated by the sub-title, the whole volume was written with appli cations in mind to double-star astronomy. The latter is, however, not the only branch of our science which could benefit from its contents. The same is true of certain aspects of the dynamics of stellar systems or galaxies (the stellar popula tions of which are also characterized by the fact that the mean-free-path of their constituent stars are long in comparison...

Measure of the Moon: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Selenodesy and Lunar Topography Held in the University of Manche
ISBN: 9789401035316 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 497 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. After many decades spent in astronomical semi-obscurity, the Moon has of late suddenly emerged to claim renewed interest on the part of the students of astronomy, as well as of other branches of physical science and technology; and the reasons which brought this about are indeed of historical significance. From time immemorial, astronomy has been debarred from the status of a gen- uine experimental science by the utter remoteness of the objects of its study. With the exception of meteors - those small freaks of cosmic matter intercepted by the Earth on its perpetual journey through space -...

Astrometric Binaries: An International Conference to Commemorate the Birth of Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (1784-1846)
ISBN: 9789401088589 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the past years, a number of international astronomical conferences were held at the Remeis-Observatory in Bamberg, four of them sponsored by the International Astronomical Union. The first meeting was organized in 1959 and dealt with Variable Stars, the last one was held in 1981 and focussed on 'Binary and Multiple Stars as Tracers of Stellar Evolution'. The present conference was organized to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel, who was born in Minden on July 22, 1784, and died in Konigsberg on March 17, 1846. When the plan for an international...

An Introduction to the Study of the Moon
ISBN: 9789401175470 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. After several decades spent in astronomical semi-obscurity, the Moon has of late suddenly emerged as an object of considerable interest to students of astronomy as well as of other branches of natural science and technology; and the reasons for this are indeed of historical significance. For the Moon has now been destined to be the first celestial body outside the confines of our own planet to be reconnoitered at a close range by means of spacecraft built and sent out by human hand for this purpose. At the time of writing, not less than ten such spacecraft of American as well as Rus sian...

The Moon
ISBN: 9789401034104 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 526 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A favourable reception of the first edition of this book - due no doubt to the nature of its subject - which went out of print in 2 years, gave its author a welcome oppor tunity to update at present its contents. This was all the more necessary, as seldom in the annals of science has our knowledge of the physics and astronomy of the Moon made greater progress than during this time. The real heroes of this advance have, of course, been the spacecraft - 33 of which have now been sent out since 1959 to reconnoiter our satellite at a close range. The hard-landers among them just about delivered...

Dynamics of Close Binary Systems
ISBN: 9789400997820 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 513 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The aim of the present book will be to provide a comprehensive account of our present knowledge of the theory of dynamical phenomena exhibited by elose binary systems; and on the basis of such phenomena as have been attested by available observations to outline probable evolutionary trends of such systems in the course of time. The evolution of the stars - motivated by nuelear as weIl as gravitation al energy sources - constitutes nowadays a well-established branch of stellar astronomy. No theo ries of such an evolution are as yet sufficently specific - let alone infallible - not to require...

Mapping of the Moon: Past and Present
ISBN: 9789401021357 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The aim of the present book has been to provide an outline - the first of its kin- of the history of the human efforts to map the topography of the surface of our satellite, from the days of pre-telescopic astronomy up to the present. These efforts commenced modestly at the time when the unaided eye was still the only tool at the disposal of men interested in the face of our satellite; and were con tinued since for more than three centuries by a small band of devoted friends of the Moon in several countries. Many of these were amateur astronomers, and almost all were amateur cartographers;...
