The Mass of Galaxies at Low and High Redshift: Proceedings of the European Southern Observatory and Universitäts-Sternwarte München Workshop Held in Venice, Italy, 24-26 October 2001
ISBN: 9783540002055 / Angielski / Twarda / 363 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Measuring the masses of galaxies as a function of redshift is perhaps one of the most challenging open issues in current astronomical research. The evolution of the baryonic and dark matter components of galaxies is not only a critical test of the hierarchical formation paradigm, but ultimately also provides new clues on the complex interplay between star formation, the cooling and heating of gas and galaxy merging processes. Measuring the masses of galaxies as a function of redshift is perhaps one of the most challenging open issues in current astronomical research. The... |

Mhd Flows in Compact Astrophysical Objects: Accretion, Winds and Jets
ISBN: 9783642012891 / Angielski / Twarda / 425 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Accretion flows, winds and jets of compact astrophysical objects and stars are generally described within the framework of hydrodynamical and magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) flows. Analytical analysis of the problem provides profound physical insights, which are essential for interpreting and understanding the results of numerical simulations. Providing such a physical understanding of MHD Flows in Compact Astrophysical Objects is the main goal of this book, which is an updated translation of a successful Russian graduate textbook. The book provides the first detailed introduction into the...

Physics of the Universe
ISBN: 9781848165328 / Angielski / Twarda / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents a new approach to the subject of cosmology. It fully exploits Einstein's theory of general relativity. It is found that the most general formal expression of the theory replaces the (10-component) tensor formalism with a (16-component) quaternion formalism. This leads to a unified field theory, where one field incorporates gravitation and electromagnetism. The theory predicts an oscillating universe cosmology with a spiral configuration. Dark matter is explained in terms of a sea of particle-antiparticle pairs, each in a particular (derived) ground state. This leads...

Quantum Cosmology - The Supersymmetric Perspective - Vol. 2: Advanced Topic
ISBN: 9783642115691 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We read in order to know we are not alone, I once heard, and perhaps it could also be suggested that we write in order not to be alone, to endorse, to promote continuity. The idea for this book took about 10 years to materialize, and it is the author's hope that its content will constitute the beginning of further explorations beyond current horizons. More speci cally, this book appeals to the reader to engage upon and persevere with a journey, moving through the less well explored territories in the evolution of the very early universe, and pushing towards new landscapes. P- haps, during or...

Lectures on Celestial Mechanics
ISBN: 9783540586562 / Angielski / Miękka / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present book represents to a large extent the translation of the German "Vorlesungen uber Himmelsmechanik" by C. L. Siegel. The demand for a new edition and for an English translation gave rise to the present volume which, however, goes beyond a mere translation. To take account of recent work in this field a number of sections have been added, especially in the third chapter which deals with the stability theory. Still, it has not been attempted to give a complete presentation of the subject, and the basic prganization of Siegel's original book has not been altered. The emphasis lies in...

Gravitational Wave Detection and Data Analysis for Pulsar Timing Arrays
ISBN: 9783642395987 / Angielski / Twarda / 139 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Pulsar timing is a promising method for detecting gravitational waves in the nano-Hertz band. In his prize winning Ph.D. thesis Rutger van Haasteren deals with how one takes thousands of seemingly random timing residuals which are measured by pulsar observers, and extracts information about the presence and character of the gravitational waves in the nano-Hertz band that are washing over our Galaxy. The author presents a sophisticated mathematical algorithm that deals with this issue. His algorithm is probably the most well-developed of those that are currently in use in the Pulsar Timing...

Chemical Cosmology
ISBN: 9789048138272 / Angielski / Twarda / 419 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The composition of the most remote objects brought into view by the Hubble telescope can no longer be reconciled with the nucleogenesis of standard cosmology and the alternative explanation, in terms of the Λ-Cold-Dark-Matter model, has no recognizable chemical basis. A more rational scheme, based on the chemistry and periodicity of atomic matter, opens up an exciting new interpretation of the cosmos in terms of projective geometry and general relativity. The response of atomic structure to environmental pressure predicts non-Doppler cosmical redshifts and equilibrium...

Einsteins Relativitätstheorie Und Die Geometrien Der Ebene: Illustrationen Zum Wechselspiel Von Geometrie Und Physik
ISBN: 9783663012993 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As a boy of 12, Einstein encountered the wonder of Euclidean plane geometry in a little book that he called "das heilige Geometrie-Buchlein" ("the holy geometry booklet"). Something similar happened to Dierck Liebscher - though admittedly not quite at the tender age of 12. As a physics student in Dresden, he heard lectures on projective geometry. The delight he got from these lectures has remained with him through his working life, and he has now passed on some of it in the present book. It is a rather unusual book and all the better for it. One of the sad things about the hectic pace and...

Cosmological Pattern of Microphysics in the Inflationary Universe
ISBN: 9781402026492 / Angielski / Twarda / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modern cosmology is a quickly developing ?eld of research. New technical devices and tools supply the community with new experimental data measured with high accuracy. The self-consistent explanation of these data needs t- oretical models that are based on hypothetical predictions of particle theory. In their turn, such predictions imply cosmology for their probe. Speci?c st- ies of the cosmological consequences of particle theory, linking them to their observable signatures, are actual. This boiling kettle of theoretical research and experimental efforts produces ideas that will be preserved...

Black Hole Astrophysics: The Engine Paradigm
ISBN: 9783642019357 / Angielski / Twarda / 960 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As a result of significant research over the past 20 years, black holes are now linked to some of the most spectacular and exciting phenomena in the Universe, ranging in size from those that have the same mass as stars to the super-massive objects that lie at the heart of most galaxies, including our own Milky Way. This book first introduces the properties of simple isolated holes, then adds in complications like rotation, accretion, radiation, and magnetic fields, finally arriving at a basic understanding of how these immense engines work. Black Hole Astrophysics - reviews our... As a result of significant research over the past 20 years, black holes are now linked to some of the most spectacular and exciting phenomena in th... |

On Foundations of Seismology: Bringing Idealizations Down to Earth
ISBN: 9789814329491 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This remarkable collaboration between a mathematical physicist and a philosopher of science is concerned with foundational and conceptual issues in seismology. Their aim is to present mathematical, physical, and philosophical topics in a clear way and to clarify them when this is possible. They provide an extensive philosophical discussion of the methods of science and show how seismology fits in. They explain with care and precision the basic structure of seismology, which is built on classical continuum mechanics. Not only do they explain how various models work in seismology, but they...
