Tethers In Space Handbook
ISBN: 9781502989260 / Angielski / Miękka / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Space tethers are long cables which can be used for propulsion, momentum exchange, stabilization and altitude control, or maintaining the relative positions of the components of a large dispersed satellite/spacecraft sensor system. Depending on the mission objectives and altitude, spaceflight using this form of spacecraft propulsion may be significantly less expensive than spaceflight using rocket engines. A number of space tethers have been deployed in space missions. Tether satellites can be used for various purposes including research into tether propulsion, tidal stabilisation and orbital...

Space Physics Missions Handbook
ISBN: 9781502989536 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Space physics is, to a great extent, the study of naturally occurring plasmas. Approximately 99% of all the matter in the Universe exists in the form of plasmas of many different types; including the partially-ionized, relatively cool plasmas of planetary ionospheres, the million degree plasmas found in the solar corona, the solar-wind plasmas, the planetary magnetospheres, and the highly relativistic galactic cosmic-ray plasma. Not only do these plasmas have very different physical scales, but each has phenomena occurring on a wide range of scales within it. The challenge for space physics...

Dynamic Coupling Between Earth's Atmospheric and Plasma Environments
ISBN: 9781489989611 / Angielski / Miękka / 610 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes the relationship between the atmosphere and the external plasma of Earth in an unconventional manner. While the main mechanical energy is located in the dense atmosphere, the presence of Earth's plasma environment, which is immersed in the magnetosphere, causes a number of very interesting effects on the atmosphere. A list of such effects includes magnetic substorms, magnetic storms and aurora to the dynamics of the upper atmosphere, heating, thermal expansion, and vertical and horizontal winds. Particle precipitation produces excess ionization and electric currents,...

High Energy Astrophysics: An Introduction
ISBN: 9783642436840 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. High-energy astrophysics has unveiled a Universe very different from that only known from optical observations. It has revealed many types of objects in which typical variability timescales are as short as years, months, days, and hours (in quasars, X-ray binaries, etc), and even down to milli-seconds in gamma ray bursts. The sources of energy that are encountered are only very seldom nuclear fusion, and most of the time gravitation, a paradox when one thinks that gravitation is, by many orders of magnitude, the weakest of the fundamental interactions. The understanding of these objects'... High-energy astrophysics has unveiled a Universe very different from that only known from optical observations. It has revealed many types of objec... |

Thermal Convection, Magnetic Field, and Differential Rotation in Solar-Type Stars
ISBN: 9784431553984 / Angielski / Twarda / 81 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This thesis describes the studies on the solar interior where turbulent thermal convection plays an important role. The author solved, for the first time, one of the long-standing issues in solar physics, i.e., the maintenance mechanism of the solar differential rotation in the near-surface shear layer. The author attacked this problem with a newly developed approach, the reduced speed of sound technique, which enabled him to investigate the surface and deep solar layers in a self-consistent manner. This technique also made it possible to achieve an unprecedented performance in the solar...

"Stephen Hawking Smoked My Socks" is a prism-free lens with which forgotten basic skills in objectivity are seen again, and the innate art of existence is set free from the dictates of fear and power."" - Ian Campbell-Gillies Why did Stephen Hawking become so famous? What exactly brought world renown to Albert Einstein? Why are those particular individuals household names across the globe whilst other achievers are not; why have they become icons to rival film stars; and why they are adored and protected by a fiercely loyal fan base?
