EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES IN BINARY AND MULTIPLE STARS by Peter Eggleton
$99.95 AUD
Category: Space | Series: Cambridge Astrophysics Ser.
Binary systems of stars are as common as single stars. Stars evolve primarily by nuclear reactions in their interiors, but a star with a binary companion can also have its evolution influenced by the companion. Multiple star systems can exist in a stable state for millions of years, but can ultimately b ...Show more
GALAXIES OF THE LOCAL GROUP by Sidney van den Bergh
$74.95 AUD
Category: Space | Series: Cambridge Astrophysics Ser.
The Local Group is a small cluster of galaxies of which thirty-five members are currently known, including the Milky Way. With characteristic clarity of expression, Sidney van den Bergh provides a complete overview of all that is known about the galaxies of the Local Group and their evolution. He also p ...Show more
GLOBULAR CLUSTER SYSTEMS by Keith M. Ashman; Stephen E. Zepf
$81.95 AUD
Category: Space | Series: Cambridge Astrophysics Ser.
Globular clusters are roughly spherical, densely packed groups of stars found around galaxies. Most globular clusters probably formed at the same time as their host galaxies. Therefore they provide a unique fossil record of the conditions during the formation and early evolution of galaxies. This volume ...Show more
ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF PLANETARY NEBULAE by Sun Kwok
$81.95 AUD
Category: Space | Series: Cambridge Astrophysics Ser.
This authoritative volume presents a thoroughly modern understanding of planetary nebulae, integrating new developments in stellar physics with the dynamics of nebular evolution. It covers all the stages in the evolution of planetary nebulae, carefully synthesizes observations from across the spectrum a ...Show more
PHYSICS OF SOLAR FLARES by Einar Tandberg-Hanssen; A. Gordon Emslie; E. Tandberg-Hanssen
$106.95 AUD
Category: Science | Series: Cambridge Astrophysics Ser.
Few phenomena have stirred the imaginations of solar scientists as much as the explosive energy of solar flares. In The Physics of Solar Flares, first published in 1988, Einar Tandberg-Hanssen and A. Gordon Emslie approach this subject by drawing heavily on experimental data from the Solar Maximum Missi ...Show more
SOLAR AND STELLAR ACTIVITY CYCLES by Peter R. Wilson; Andrew King (Contribution by); Douglas Lin (Contribution by); Stephen Maran (Contribution by); Jim Pringle (Contribution by); Martin Ward (Contribution by)
$79.95 AUD
Category: Space | Series: Cambridge Astrophysics Ser.
How do you predict the parameters of future solar cycles? What is the role of dynamo theory in the cyclic activity of the Sun and similar stars? And what are the implications of chaos theory for stellar cycles? This book answers these questions and offers a timely review of studies in the cyclic activit ...Show more
SOLAR AND STELLAR MAGNETIC ACTIVITY by C. J. Schrijver; C. Zwaan
$78.95 AUD
Category: Space | Series: Cambridge Astrophysics Ser.
Magnetic activity in the sun and similar stars results in a wealth of phenomena--including starspots, nonradiatively heated outer atmospheres, activity cycles, deceleration of rotation rates, and even, in close binaries, stellar cannibalism. This volume uniquely combines studies of the sun with those of ...Show more
