Joint Evolution of Black Holes and Galaxies
ISBN: 9780750309998 / Angielski / Twarda / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Black holes are among the most mysterious objects that the human mind has been capable of imagining. As pure mathematical constructions, they are tools for exploiting the fundamental laws of physics. As astronomical sources, they are part of our cosmic landscape, warping space-time, coupled to the large-scale properties and life cycle of their host galaxy, and perhaps even linked to galaxy formation.
This volume, which grew from a recent doctoral school sponsored by the Italian Society of Relativity and Gravitation, brings together contributions from leading authorities to provide a...

Their general objectives were as follows: o Synthesize flare studies after three years of SMM data analysis. Many analyses of individual flares and individual phenomena, often jointly across many data sources had been published, but a need existed...

Galactic and Intergalactic Magnetic Fields: Proceedings of the 140th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union Held in Heidelberg, F.R.G., Jun
ISBN: 9780792307044 / Angielski / Twarda / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This Symposium, the first devoted entirely to the measurement and the role of magnetic fields in the non-solar Universe, was held in Heidelberg, on June 19-23, 1989. The meeting began with review talks on magnetic phenomena near the solar photosphere, corona, and in stellar winds, since these nearby "laboratories," studied for many years, provide much of the prior knowl- edge of magnetic effects in astrophysical plasmas. The Symposium contained presentations of considerable new work concerning the role of magnetic fields in accretion disks, bipolar outflows, and related magnetic phenomena in...

Basic Plasma Processes on the Sun: Proceedings of the 142th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union Held in Bangalore, India, December 1-5,
ISBN: 9780792308799 / Angielski / Twarda / 546 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Much of the excitement in modern Solar Physics has come from the realisation that the Sun is a plasma and that this plasma is interacting with the magnetic field in a wide variety of subtle ways. As well as being of great interest in their own right the observed plasma phenomena on the Sun are of much wider importance, since they reveal to us details of basic phenomena that are expected to be occurring throughout the universe. It was with this in mind that 173 solar physicists from 17 countries gathered together in Bangalore with an air of anticipation. We were not disappointed as we received...

Astronomical Masers
ISBN: 9780792312178 / Angielski / Miękka / 351 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) One of the most spectacular discoveries of molecular astronomy has been the detection of maser emission. The same radiation that is generated in the laboratory only with elaborate, special equipment occurs naturally in interstellar space. This intense radiation probes the smallest structures that can be studied with radio telescopes. By a fortunate coincidence maser radiation is generated in both star forming regions and the envelopes of late-type stars. The early and late stages in the life of a star are considered to be the most interesting phases of stellar evolution. Maser emission has...

Theory of Accretion Disks 2: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Theory of Accreditation Disks -- 2 Garching, Germany March 22-26
ISBN: 9780792326090 / Angielski / Twarda / 427 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Accretion disks in astrophysics represent the characteristic flow by which compact bodies accrete mass from their environment. Their intrinsically high luminosity, and recent progress in observational accessibility at all wavelength bands, have led to rapidly growing awareness of their importance and made them the object of intense research on widely different scales, ranging from binary stars to young stellar objects and active galactic nuclei.

Dusty and Self-Gravitational Plasmas in Space
ISBN: 9780792330226 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The diverse and often surprising new facts about planetary rings and comet environments that were reported by the interplanetary missions oflate 1970s - 1980s stimulated investigations of the so-called dusty plasma. The number of scientific papers on the subject that have been published since is quite impressive. Recently, a few surveys and special journal issues have appeared. Time has come to integrate some of the knowledge in a book. Apparently, this is the first monograph on dusty and self-gravitational plasmas. While the circle of pertinent problems is rather clearly defined, not all of...

The first school centered on our main observational access to neu- tron stars, i. e. the timing of radio pulsars and accretion powered neutron stars, and on what timing of neutron stars teaches us of their structure and environment. The second school had as its theme the interplay between diverse...

During this period many meetings have been held, and several books and proceedings have been published, all dealing with specific aspects of solar prominences. However, no unifying and comprehensive accord has appeared. Recently some of my colleagues suggested...

Stellar Surface Structure
ISBN: 9780792340263 / Angielski / Twarda / 598 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In the past decade, indirect (Doppler) imaging techniques have opened up a whole new discipline in stellar astronomy, providing increasingly detailed photometric, magnetic, and chemical inhomogeneity images of stellar surfaces. Furthermore, new optical interferometers are already being used with sophisticated interferometer techniques to image stellar surface structures more directly, and in the future the ESO VLT Interferometer and other instruments will extend these capabilities enormously. These developments are highlighted in the first two sections of this book.
