  • A Passion for Space

    Adventures of a Pioneering Female NASA Flight Controller

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Marianne J. Dyson recounts for us a time when women were making the first inroads into space flight control, a previously male-dominated profession. The story begins with the inspiration of the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon and follows the challenges of pursuing a science career as a woman in the 70s and 80s, when it was far from an easy path.Dyson relates the first five space shuttle flights from ...

  • The Lidov-Kozai Effect - Applications in Exoplanet Research and Dynamical Astronomy

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book deals with an effect in celestial mechanics that has become quite important in exoplanet research. The Lidov-Kozai effect reveals itself in coherent periodic variations (which can be very large) of the inclination and eccentricity of an orbiting body in the presence of an inclined perturber. The effect is known to be important in the motion of many asteroids and planetary satellites. ... Leer más

  • Thermal Convection, Magnetic Field, and Differential Rotation in Solar-type Stars

    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    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 ... Leer más

  • Radial-velocity Searches for Planets Around Active Stars

    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 ... Leer más
