  • Tidal Streams in the Local Group and Beyond

    Observations and Implications

    Edited by Heidi Jo Newberg, Jeffrey L. Carlin ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This volume is written by leading scientists in the field, who review the current state of our knowledge of tidal streams in the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy, and in other nearby galaxies. The cosmological origins of dwarf galaxies and the physical processes by which they are tidally disrupted into streams and incorporated into galaxy halos are discussed. The techniques that have been used to ... Read more

  • If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens ... WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

    Seventy-Five Solutions to the Fermi Paradox and the Problem of Extraterrestrial Life

    by Stephen Webb ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then, have we ... Read more

  • The Infinite Cosmos

    Questions from the frontiers of cosmology

    by Joseph Silk ...
    From time immemorial, poets and philosophers have looked in awe and wonder at the Universe. Such awe is shared by astrophysicists, too, as they seek to understand its nature, and whether it has any limits. In The Infinite Cosmos, Joseph Silk, Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford University, cosmologist and well-known science writer, brings together the modern understanding of the Universe, ...

  • Interstellar Space Journey

    Space Book for Kids

    by Speedy Publishing ...
    The latest movie about traveling between galaxies has sparked many people's interest in its potential. Unfortunately, the film is not really designed for a child's mind. Thus, a book about interstellar space exploration can help them see how wondrous the idea is for mankind. It may help push them in a direction of work or passion that they never considered before. Young minds need inspiration, and ... Read more

    The Work of the Space Task Group, America's First True Space Pioneers

    Edited by Manfred "Dutch" von Ehrenfried ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This is the story of the work of the original NASA space pioneers; men and women who were suddenly organized in 1958 from the then National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA) into the Space Task Group. A relatively small group, they developed the initial mission concept plans and procedures for the U. S. space program. Then they boldly built hardware and facilities to accomplish those ...

  • The Story of Helium and the Birth of Astrophysics

    by Biman B. Nath ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    What if one of the most thrilling stories in the history of science turned out to be wrong? Can urban legends creep into the hallowed grounds of scientific history? As incredible as it may sound, the story of one of the most important elements in modern times – helium - has been often misrepresented in books, encyclopedias, and online sources, despite the fact that archival materials tell a ...

  • The Formation and Disruption of Black Hole Jets

    Edited by Denise Gabuzda, Ioannis Contopoulos, Nikolaos Kylafis ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book reviews the phenomenology displayed by relativistic jets as well as the most recent theoretical efforts to understand the physical mechanisms at their origin. Relativistic jets have been observed and studied in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) for about half a century and are believed to be fueled by accretion onto a supermassive black hole at the center of the host galaxy. Since the first ... Read more

  • Radial-velocity Searches for Planets Around Active Stars

    by Raphaëlle D. Haywood ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This thesis develops new and powerful methods for identifying planetary signals in the presence of “noise” generated by stellar activity, and explores the physical origin of stellar intrinsic variability, using unique observations of the Sun seen as a star. In particular, it establishes that the intrinsic stellar radial-velocity variations mainly arise from suppression of photospheric convection ... Read more
