Data Analysis in Astronomy
ISBN: 9781461594352 / Angielski / Miękka / 541 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The international Workshop on "Data Analysis in Astronomy" was in- tended to give a presentation of experiences that have been acqui- red in data analysis and image processing, developments and appli- cations that are steadly growing up in Astronomy. The quality and the quantity of ground and satellite observations require more so- phisticated data analysis methods and better computational tools. The Workshop has reviewed the present state of the art, explored new methods and discussed a wide range of applications. The topics which have been selected have covered the main fields of interest...

Rockets and People: Volume II: Creating a Rocket Industry
ISBN: 9781484842706 / Angielski / Miękka / 698 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much has been written in the West on the history of the Soviet space program but few Westerners have read direct first-hand accounts of the men and women who were behind the many Russian accomplishments in exploring space. The memoirs of Academician Boris Chertok, translated from the original Russian, fills that gap. This official NASA history series document has been converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. In this Volume 2, Chertok takes up the story with the development of the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and ends with the launch of Sputnik...

Accretion Disks -- New Aspects: Proceedings of the Eara Workshop Held in Garching, Germany, 21-23 October 1996
ISBN: 9783662141427 / Angielski / Miękka / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The most luminous compact objects are powered by accretion of mass. Accretion disks are the one common and fundamental element of these sources on widely different scales, ranging from close stellar binaries, galactic black holes and X-ray pulsars to active galactic nuclei (AGN). Key new developments in theory and observations, reviewed by experts in the field, are presented in this book. The contributions to the workshop cover the puzzles presented by the X-UV spectra of AGN and their variability, the recent numerical simulations of magnetic fields in disks, the remarkable behavior of the...

The Lives of the Neutron Stars
ISBN: 9789401040716 / Angielski / Miękka / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This NATO AS! was the third in the series of Advanced Study Institutes on neutron stars, which started with 'Timing Neutron Stars', held in Qe me near izmir, Turkey (April 1988), followed by 'Neutron Stars, an Interdis- ciplinary Subject', held in Agia Pelagia on the island of Crete (September 1990). 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...

Theory of Accretion Disks 2: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Theory of Accreditation Disks -- 2 Garching, Germany March 22-26
ISBN: 9789401043700 / Angielski / Miękka / 427 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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.

Cosmical Magnetism
ISBN: 9789401044851 / Angielski / Miękka / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Prof. Leon Mestel has been an inspiration to many to study the role of magnetism in the Cosmos. To mark the occasion of his retin'ment from the University of Sussex after 43 years in astrophysics, several of his friends and former students decided to hold an advanced research workshop in his honour. NATO agreed to finance this venture which was held at the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge. The scientific organizing committee was J. Landstreet, D. Lynden-Bell, F. Pacini, M.A. Rud0rman and N.O. Weiss and most leading experts on Cosmical magnetism agreed to come. We are particularly grateful...
