Chandra is an intimate portrait of a highly private and brilliant man, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, a Nobel laureate in physics who has been a major contributor to the theories of …
The ideas at the root of quantum theory remain stubbornly, famously bizarre: a solid world reduced to puffs of probability; particles that tunnel through walls; cats suspended in …
Circumstellar disks are vast expanses of dust that form around new stars in the earliest stages of their birth. Predicted by astronomers as early as the eighteenth century, they …
Nuclear astrophysics is, in essence, a science that attempts to understand and explain the physical universe beyond the Earth by studying its smallest particles. "Cauldrons in the …
The inevitability of gravitational collapse for stellar bodies of sufficient mass was convincingly demonstrated by S. Chandrasekhar in the 1930s, black holes and neutron stars …
Neutron stars, the most extreme state of matter yet confirmed, are responsible for much of the high-energy radiation detected in the universe. Mèszàros provides a general overview …
The inevitability of gravitational collapse for stellar bodies of sufficient mass was convincingly demonstarted by S. Chandrasekhar in the 1930s, black holes and neutron stars …
Written by one of today's most highly respected astrophysicists, "Foundations of High-Energy Astrophysics" is an introduction to the mathematical and physical techniques used in …
Poised between two burgeoning fields, astrophysics and particle physics, this work describes what the study of stars reveals about fundamental particle interactions, presenting the …
Selected by 50 notable astronomers from the major sub-fields of the discipline, the articles assembled in this special AAS Centennial collection are accompanied by commentary that …
