Описание: The interstellarum Deep Sky Guide is an innovative illustrated guide to accompany the well-received interstellarum Deep Sky Atlas. Taking an intuitive visual approach, for each spread of the Atlas, the Guide focuses on carefully selected objects, either as colored composite POSS plates or through the authors` own eyepiece sketches.

From meteorite observations to orbital dynamics, Planetesimals is the essential reference for those interested in planetary formation, solar system dynamics, exoplanets and planetary habitability.
Описание: When Sultan bin Salman left Earth on the shuttle Discovery in 1985, he became the first Arab, first Muslim and first member of a royal family in space. Twenty-five years later, the discovery of a planet 500 light years away by the Qatar Exoplanet Survey - subsequently named `Qatar-1b' - was evidence of the cutting-edge space science projects taking place across the Middle East. This book identifies the individuals, institutions and national ideologies that enabled Arab astronomers and researchers to gain support for space exploration when Middle East governments lacked interest. Jorg Matthias Determann shows that the conquest of space became associated with national prestige, security, economic growth and the idea of an `Arab renaissance' more generally. Equally important to this success were international collaborations: to benefit from American and Soviet expertise and technology, Arab scientists and officials had to commit to global governance of space and the common interests of humanity. Challenging the view that the golden age of Arabic science and cosmopolitanism was situated in the medieval period, Determann tells the story of the new discoveries and scientific collaborations taking place from the 19th century to the present day. An innovative contribution to Middle East studies and history of science, the book also appeals to increased business, media and political interest in the Arab space industry.

Описание: Masers are the microwave analogue of lasers. Astronomical sources of natural maser emission include the gas around forming and dying stars, and around supermassive black holes. These bright sources of microwaves are fascinating in their own right and provide unique abilities to probe details of astronomical sources and their environments.

Описание: IAU Symposium 329 covers the impact of massive stars, which is felt across many areas of astrophysics, as they are tools to interpret the conditions and processes in different environments. In parallel, new observational data help constrain our theoretical models of massive star birth, evolution and death.

Описание: Distant Galaxies Encapsulate The Various Stages Of Galaxy Evolution And Formation From Over 95% Of The Development Of The Universe. As Early As Twenty-Five Years Ago, Little Was Known About Them, However Since The First Systematic Survey Was Completed In The 1990S, Increasing Amounts Of Resources Have Been Devoted To Their Discovery And Research. This Book Summarises For The First Time The Numerous Techniques Used For Observing, Analysing, And Understanding The Evolution And Formation Of These Distant Galaxies.In This Rapidly Expanding Research Field, This Text Is An Every-Day Companion Handbook For Graduate Students And Active Researchers. It Provides Guidelines In Sample Selection, Imaging, Integrated Spectroscopy And 3D Spectroscopy, Which Help To Avoid The Numerous Pitfalls Of Observational And Analysis Techniques In Use In Extragalactic Astronomy. It Also Paves The Way For Establishing Relations Between Fundamental Properties Of Distant Galaxies. At Each Step, The Reader Is Assisted With Numerous Practical Examples And Ready-To-Use Methodology To Help Understand And Analyse Research.Fran?ois Hammer (Fh) Worked Initially In General Relativity And Made The First Modelling Of Gravitational Lenses Prior To Their Spectroscopic Confirmation. Following This, He Became Co-Leader Of The First Complete Survey Of Distant Galaxies, The Canada–France–Redshift Survey. This Led To The Discovery Of The Strong Decrease Of The Cosmic Star Formation Density Measured From Uv Light As Z=1, Which, Alongside Hector Flores (Hf), They Confirmed As Bolometric And Dust Independent. With Mathieu Puech (Mp), They Then Pioneered The 3D Spectroscopy Of Distant Galaxies, Leading To A Major Increase Of Understanding The Dynamic State Of Distant Galaxies Evidenced By The Scatter Of The Tully Fisher Relation. This Led Them To Propose, With The Addition To The Team Of Myriam Rodrigues (Mr), That Galactic Disks May Survive Or Be Rebuilt In Gas-Rich Mergers, A Scenario That Is Consistent With Contemporary Cosmological Simulations. Besides Extensive Observational Experience, The Authors Have Led, Or Are Leading, Several Instruments Implemented Or To Be Implemented At The Largest Telescopes, Including Vlt/Giraffe (Fh), Vlt/X-Shooter (Fh), Vlt/Moons (Hf) And E-Elt/Mosaic (Fh, Mp, Mr). They Have Also Developed Several Observational Techniques In Adaptive Optics, And In Sky Subtraction For Integral Field Units And Fibre Instruments.

Описание: This accessible reference presents the evolution of concepts of time and methods of time keeping, for historians, scientists, engineers, and educators. The second edition has been updated throughout to describe twentieth- and twenty-first-century advances, progress in devices, time and cosmology, the redefinition of SI units, and the future of UTC.
Описание: Gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein`s general theory of relativity, have now been observed by the LIGO and Virgo detectors, heralding an exciting new era of multimessenger astrophysics. IAU S338 explores how space-time and electromagnetic messengers can be correlated, to help us understand many high-energy astrophysical phenomena.
